Greyhound Breed Information
Greyhounds 2010 Wall Calendar
Presumably from Egypt, this breed dates back 5,000 years or more. The Greyhound, the fastest dog, is gentle, loving and affectionate. Frequent exercise is a must for these high-energy dogs that reach speeds of up to 45 mph. General George A. Custer fancied these graceful animals so much that he owned a pack of about 40 hounds. Those who admire the sleek, beautiful Greyhound will appreciate this magnificent 2006 wall calendar.
