Summary
About Spanish Greyhound
The Spanish Greyhound (Galgo Español) is an ancient Spanish sighthound, lightly built with a long body, deep chest and smooth, efficient movement. Calm, sensitive and affectionate at home, it needs regular exercise, gentle training and protection from cold due to its fine coat and low body fat.
About Cimarrón Uruguayo
The Cimarrón Uruguayo is Uruguay’s national dog, a medium‑large, muscular guardian shaped by survival in the wild. Loyal, territorial, and reserved with strangers, it suits experienced owners. It has a short, low‑maintenance brindle or fawn coat and needs firm training and ample exercise.
