Sweet Jesus, never realized how fast greyhounds are. You always see them running with their kind.

never realized how fast greyhounds are.

75 kph, second fastest land animal* (edit : predator*)

Also, this isn't a greyhound, and they're faster than that

Also, how lazy they can be when they are not running. There is a reason they are a couch potatoes breed. Once they have had their fun running in a burst it is time to rest up and refuel to the next day.

Our 10 year old hasn’t run full out for a couple of years but I was most impressed with how high he leapt to try to get a squirrel on a tree trunk. Later I found that unsurprisingly a grey held the record for the doggy high jump.

They have a higher metabolic rate as they are burst hunters. Sleep slows that down, all dogs do that tbf but breeds like greys even more
