The History of Greyhounds and Obesity
Ancient Greeks and Romans first stumbled upon Greyhounds in Ancient Egypt, where they were kept as hunters and companions to the upper class and royalty. Their long legs and slender, almost aerodynamic figure, made them the fastest dogs on earth. Equipped with keen eyesight, the Greeks and Romans used them as hunting dogs across vast wide open plains. They made their way onto the race track in the early 20th century, where they were measured to run speeds of up to 45 mph. This life of running created a high metabolism in the Greyhound which means they could be fed large amounts of food without gaining too much weight. Moving into the house has slowed them down a bit. They do not need a lot of activity as they are bred for sprints instead of endurance. However, if they are lazy and inactive for the majority of their day, the could become susceptible to becoming overweight.
