Greyhound is a star of circular tracks, a gambling hunter, and a good-natured sleepyhead, maddeningly in love with his own owner. Maybe he is not the best campaigner, who understands any requirements from a half-word, but he is a wonderful friend and companion who knows how to show delicacy and patience where circumstances require it. True, Greyhounds settle down only to a conscious age, quite rightly believing that childhood is the best time to test the peace and patience of others.
#1 In England, Greyhounds are called “fast lazybones” because of their calm temperament and fanatical love of relaxation on soft and not very mattresses.
#2 The literal translation of the breed’s name is “gray greyhound”, although modern linguists believe that “greyhound” is a distorted form of the Old English “greyhound” – greyhound-cricket
#3 The latter version is supported by the fact that animals have the same springy and long jump as crickets.
