Galgo Espanol Characteristics (290 words)
Compared to the Greyhound, the Galgo is a very long, fine dog with less depth of chest, less rear angulation, less weight and height, and longer muscling for endurance, rather than the rounded muscle for short bursts of intense speed, as in the Greyhound.
The temperament of the Galgo Español is appealing.
Good health in the Galgo has been ensured by the Spanish over the years by natural selection, as until the 1970’s Galgos were used almost exclusively for the hunting of hare.
