About

The Greyhound is a sleek and athletic sighthound famous for being the fastest dog breed, capable of reaching speeds up to 70 km/h. Originally bred for hunting and racing, Greyhounds have a lean, muscular body designed for speed and agility.


Despite their athletic background, Greyhounds are known for their calm and relaxed temperament, often enjoying lounging and resting indoors. They are gentle, affectionate with their families, and relatively quiet compared to many other breeds.


Greyhounds require moderate exercise, usually short bursts of activity followed by long rest periods. Their short coat makes grooming easy, but they are sensitive to extreme temperatures.


They are well-suited for both houses and apartments, provided they get regular exercise and comfortable resting space.


The Greyhound dog price in India typically ranges between ₹30,000 to ₹80,000 depending on breeder quality, lineage, and location. Monthly maintenance costs range from ₹5,000 to ₹9,000 including food and healthcare.
