É considerada uma raça muito especial por quem teve um, uma vez que a combinação de personalidade, energia e aspeto físico do galgo afegão fazem deste cachorro um exemplar único e especial. Acredita-se que é descendente do Saluki, um cachorro iraniano de características semelhantes.O primeiro exemplar de galgo afegão data do ano 1000 a.C sendo que, na altura, o cachorro era utilizado como cão de caça e cão pastor. Contudo, o seu primeiro registo só foi feito no século XIX. O seu aspeto elegante, graciosidade e velocidade fizeram com que o galgo afegão tenha triunfado como cachorro de corrida.
Erté The Greyhound, one of the oldest breeds; beautiful, elegant, loyal, gentle, kind and frequently depicted in art... The greyhound has deep roots in the history of the world. Evidence of the existence of greyhounds over 4,000 years ago is found in murals, sculpture and paintings of dogs strikingly similar to the hounds we see today. Greyhounds claim descent from the desert dogs of the pharaohs and Arab sheiks. These ancient dogs were held in high regard in the Middle East and were the companions of Egyptian and Arab princes. Etchings of greyhounds have been found on the walls of the tombs of ancient pharaohs. The pharaohs prized greyhounds both as pets and hunters. The Bedouins, too, so admired the greyhound that it was the only dog permitted to share their tents (a high honour in nomadic tribes) and to ride atop their camels. Bedouin with Salukis, relatives of the modern day Greyhound and the oldest domestic dog breed in the world. Greyhounds are the only canine mentioned in Holy Scripture. In the writings of King Solomon (considered to be the wisest of the wise) greyhounds are described as one of the four mighty beings no one should go against (Proverbs 30:29-31). Greyhounds were introduced in England just prior to the ninth century through the many conquests, crusades, and wars with Middle Eastern tribes. Their speed, agility, and keen eyesight made greyhounds highly prized as sporting dogs by British royalty. Canute enforced laws which stated that only free men could own and hunt with greyhounds. These restrictions, enacted to keep poachers out of royal forests, became known as the "Forest Laws." Misse and Turlu, The Greyhounds of Louis XV Eros, Prince Albert's favourite Greyhound, Sir Henry Edward Landseer, 1841 Thomas Gainsborough, portrait of Elizabeth Jackson, C 1760, stroking a young Greyhound Marchesa Luisa Casati, Giovanni Boldini Jean Gabriel Domergue Margaret Gorman, the first Miss America, with her Greyhound 'Long Goodie' 1925 Today Greyhounds are used for racing and hunting unfortunately all too often there are reports of extreme cruelty, abandonment and worse. Earlier today I was reading about the plight of the Galgos (Spanish Greyhounds): The Spanish Greyhound, or Galgo, is one of the most persecuted dog breeds. Galgos are used to hunt hares in the Spanish countryside. They spend their lives in damp, tiny, dirty holes or windowless shacks deprived of daylight, exercise and affection. They are typically fed only water and stale bread. At the end of the hunting season, countless are abandoned or worse. Sadly, the Galgo’s native land still views it as a second-class animal and few Spaniards will own them as pets. They are bred carelessly and used for hunting by galgueros (Galgo handlers). At the end of the hunting season in Spain, the Galgos deemed worthless or too costly to maintain are destroyed in a variety of inhumane ways – including being hung, dumped into abandoned wells, shot, and even burned to death. The lucky ones are rescued by a handful of shelters in Spain, operated by dedicated individuals. Almost all of the resources to help the dogs come from outside of Spain, namely the U.S., U.K., Belgium, Denmark, France, Holland and Germany. There are a handful of Spanish shelters dedicated to saving the Galgos and other unwanted animals of Spain. Although more and more galgueros are willing to give their unwanted dogs to the shelters, the abuse and torture of Galgos continues. Organizations like GRIN are dedicated to the welfare of the Spanish Galgo and sighthounds worldwide, and assist the Spanish shelters with adoption, veterinary care, and fundraising. I have been looking at some horrific images today, I will spare you the details, I was in tears at one point. Fortunately there are many organisations all over the world who rescue sight hounds and try to re home them. Greyhounds make wonderful pets, people seem to be put off them because they are under the misapprehension that Greyhounds need a lot of exercise, like all dogs they do need exercise but nothing excessive, they are actually rather lazy and enjoy nothing better than lounging about, they can exist perfectly happily in apartments and like to give and receive lots of affection. I would love a rescue sight hound as a companion for Crusoe, he would love a girlfriend! I just have to persuade MG. I was looking at galleries of the dogs up for adoption...more tears, I want them all. http://galgorescue.org/ http://www.galgonews.com/ http://levriers.net/ http://www.retiredgreyhounds.co.uk/ http://www.greyhoundrescue.co.uk/ http://greyhoundgap.org.uk/ http://www.greyhoundsinneed.co.uk/topFrame.htm http://actuanimaux.com/ www.gap.grv.org.au If you would like me to include an organisation, let me know and I will add it to the list.

Rescued greyhound Flak living the good life in Texas. Across the country state legislatures are adjourning, ending what has been the best session for greyhounds in at least three years. Several states passed important greyhound protection laws, while others rejected attempts to prop up the cruelty of dog racing. In Arizona, lawmakers passed a requirement that greyhound injuries be reported to the public. In Arkansas, Texas, and Arizona, laws were passed to increase the maximum penalties for dog track violations, including the strongest penalties ever. Proposals to revive greyhound racing were rejected in Texas and Kansas, while a bill to encourage the legalization of dog racing in Hawaii was defeated. Lawmakers defeated a bill that would have required the Texas Racing Commission, a regulatory agency, to promote greyhound racing. In Colorado, lawmakers refused to permanently extend greyhound simulcasting. Each of these victories is important. Taken together, they reflect a growing consensus that greyhound cruelty is a serious issue that deserves legislative attention. They also suggest that the dog racing industry, which was once a legislative force to be reckoned with, has lost much of its influence. GREY2K USA was actively involved in every one of these efforts. We joined other animal protection groups, grassroots volunteers, state regulators, and compassionate lawmakers to make sure that the greyhounds were given a voice. In fact, this legislative session is a textbook case of how we approach our work as a non-profit greyhound protection organization. First, we extensively research greyhound racing until we know the industry better than it knows itself. Second, we collaborate with other humane organizations and grassroots volunteers. Finally, the coalitions we form engage in the public arena and call for positive changes to help greyhounds. This recipe for success works, and our victories this year bode well for future greyhound protection campaigns. As Frank Sinatra once sang, the best is yet to come.
“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” On the day, Leena, our Galga, adopted through Magnificent Mutts, was no longer needed by her owner. She was to be hung from a tree as the tradition of the galgueros.

The Galgo Espanol, also referred to as the Spanish Greyhound, is rarely found outside Europe. It has been the primary sighthound of the dry, uneven Spanish terrain for centuries used for hunting and coursing hare. Much controversy exists regarding their poor and even brutal treatment at the end of the hunting season. Galgo Espanols are large size dogs that are sometimes confused with greyhounds due to certain visible similarities in its slender, elegant body. Members of this breed, however, are smaller and come in various coat textures and colors. Extremely quick and agile, although not as fast as they greyhound, they have flat, lean musculature.
This dog is perfect for active owners or families that want a pet to accompany them for daily exercise and sporting activities. They make sweet, calm indoor dogs and are gentle and affectionate with children. Galgos have low guard dog ability but are generally reserved and wary around strangers. This breed is great for those desiring a dog with low maintenance in regards to grooming. Trainability is high for these sensitive dogs but they require soft handling, patience and positive reinforcement such as praise and treats.
