But … do you know how many greyhounds there are? There are exactly 15 different types of greyhound breeds, but certainly there are some more common and well-known than others (at least in the western plane).
We must say that of those 15 breeds there are two that are very little known since there are almost no specimens left today. In addition, they belong to areas quite remote from the western environment. The first of these is the banjara greyhound, which is associated with the existing nomadic culture in India, a country outside of which it is hardly known. It is a branch familiar to the Afghan greyhound and is tremendously fast and strong. On the other hand, the Greek greyhound , a native of Albania and Greece, stands out for its black fur and, above all, for being the tallest known greyhound, being able to measure more than 80 cm.

Despite that, there are 13 well-known types of greyhounds that are spread throughout the width and length of the globe. All of them have very significant peculiarities and peculiarities.
