Greyhound

Known as the 45-mph couch potato, the Greyhound is the fastest dog breed and one of the most ancient. While they are world-class sprinters, they are incredibly gentle and calm companions who love to lounge at home. Their sleek physique and noble temperament make them elegant pets that adapt surprisingly well to urban life.
