Greyhound-type dogs are the oldest recorded in history. The breed originated some 8000 years ago in the ancient civilizations of the Middle East where hunting dogs with deep chests, delicate heads, and long legs were found depicted on the walls of early cave dwellings. They have been the subjects of art and literature ever since.

The first dog mentioned in literature, in 800 B.C., was the Greyhound in Homer’s Odyssey.
In both Greek and Roman mythology, gods and goddesses were often portrayed with Greyhounds.
In the 14th century, in Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, the Greyhound was the first breed to be written about in English.
Shakespeare mentioned Greyhounds in Henry V.
During the Renaissance, the most famous artists of the era – Veronese, Pisanello, and Uccello – captured the elegant lines of the Greyhound in art.
