Fun facts about Greyhounds

Dogs are excellent runners by nature. The fastest of them all is the Greyhound, hands down.

These sleek hounds have a top speed of 45 mph! Cheetahs, on the other hand, can run up to nearly 70 mph, but only briefly.

However, greyhounds are readily capable of traveling above 35 mph for up to seven miles.

Despite the cheetah’s initial advantage, the Greyhounds would easily pass without having to exert any effort.
