Hunter……good name.

hope he does what you want sandy, they deff seem to have very snipe face= muzzle dont they, wonder if that maybe  bit of saluki in it genes going back, ok you get few greyhounds  like that, but most got stronger head on them i worked at racing kennels  for about 6 months , they had 50 greyhounds there , some of the males were big strong animals , with not bad size heads for  as greyhounds  go. so thats why i thought  maybe the snipey heads come from the saluki type dogs .?

Pretty all the old breed sighthounds like galgos and salukis are relatively narrow, all likely have a common ancestor direct from the 1st dog, genetically there is no evidence of them having been developed from another breed, whereas greyhounds tend to be stockier, perhaps because of their sprinting background or maybe because they were bred from a collie type ancestor, mind that was a couple of thousand years ago.

Galgo.

 

Think in human terms the difference between a sprinter and a 10,00 meter runner, they are built very differently.

All sight hounds have narrow heads, herding,guarding,working breeds have wide heads, you don't need brain room to see something and run after it and that's why there all as thick as shit.....

Nice looking pup, don’t think they look much like our greyhounds to be honest, look closer to Salukis in shape

plus if you back to when greyhounds were bred, they bulldog bred back in to them , to put bit more fire and jaw into them   f, dont forget we talking about  the old proper working/ healthy animals   more like some apbts  from them early paintings , not these KC  wrecks walking about today .?

Not one to compare dogs to humans. But that's how the stayers look. Like Mo Farrah.. looks badly as fck.. but will run all day on a cup of rice.. 

Then check a big sprinter out.. Big as fuk and will blow his load after 90 seconds.. gassed out!!.. Bit like me!!
