The Galgo Español, or Spanish Greyhound, is an ancient sighthound breed with roots tracing back to North Africa and the Middle East, introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by various ancient civilizations including the Celts and Moors. They are gentle, sensitive, and reserved, possessing a quiet and affectionate nature with people they trust while maintaining an independent and elegant demeanor. Historically bred and used across the plains of Spain for coursing hare, the Galgo was prized for its explosive speed, stamina, and keen sight.
