What is it?
The greyhound, one of the most ancient of breeds, has had a remarkably colourful history, starting with its role as a supreme hunting dog, its changing role as a coursing dog, to its current status as track racing dog, show dog and loving companion. The greyhound is possibly the forerunner of a breed of canines belonging to the "sight-hound" family, and is undoubtedly the best known of the breed.
Greyhound Planet is a time chosen each year to honor the greyhound and its relatives (galgos, lurchers, etc.) throughout the world. Bring the whole family and meet some retired racing greyhounds up close and chat with their adoptive families. Learn more about these canine athletes, have a bite to eat, hang out and have some fun.
Everyone and their canine companions (leashed) are welcome.
