Galgo Español

Spanish Greyhounds are gentle, affectionate sighthounds known for their calm nature and surprising laziness despite their athletic build. These "45 mph couch potatoes" prefer short exercise bursts followed by long naps on soft surfaces. Most rescue Galgos are retired hunting dogs who adapt beautifully to apartment living and quiet home environments. They're typically excellent with other dogs but retain strong prey drive toward small animals like cats and rabbits. Their thin skin and lean build require soft bedding, warm coats in cold weather, and protection from rough surfaces. These sensitive souls bond deeply with their families but can be initially reserved with strangers. They're naturally quiet, clean housemates who rarely bark and make minimal demands on their owners. Their gentle, intuitive nature makes them exceptional therapy dogs. Ideal for patient adopters seeking a low-maintenance, affectionate companion who appreciates calm energy and understands their independent yet loving personality.
