Spanish Greyhound Personality

    Hoping to bring a dog into your home? Some dog breeds are easier to own than others, particularly for amateur dog parents.

    To identify the easiest pet dog breeds to own, we looked at a selection of important qualities. And you might be amazed by the characteristics that matter most. You might think you want a smart dog. But highly intelligent dogs aren't always the simplest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's willingness to follow instructions than his potential to comprehend them.

    You might assume an energetic dog will be the easiest to keep healthy. But a dog with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will actually be easier to handle. Additionally, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a long way toward keeping you sane.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is amongst the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life personality and a merry nature that make him a warm and joyful buddy.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "happy," "plucky," and "loving." This dog has a medium energy level but a more laid-back personality than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow canine, you can't go wrong with the bulldog. You can successfully train your bulldog - particularly if you use lots of praise and rewards and maintain a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be faithful hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, relying on the owner's character - as long as they get a rewarding walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very active. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll value the breed's absolute patience with children.

Spanish Greyhound Information

Galgos are similar in appearance to Greyhounds, but are distinctly different in their conformation. Galgos are higher in the rear than in the front, and have flatter muscling than a Greyhound, which is characteristic of endurance runners. They also tend to be smaller, lighter in build, have longer tails and have a very long, streamlined head that gives the impression of larger ears. Their chests are not as deep as a Greyhound's and should not reach the point of the elbow. Unlike Greyhounds, Galgos come in two coat types: smooth and rough. The rough coat can provide extra protection from skin injuries while running in the field. They come in a variety of colors and coat patterns. Main colors are "barcino" or "atigrado" (brindle), "negro" (black), "barquillo"(golden), "tostado"(toasted), "canela" (cinnamon), "amarillo"(yellow), "rojo"(red), "blanco" (white), "berrendo" (white with patches) or "pío" (any colour with white muzzle and forehead).

Galgos have a very similar nature to Greyhounds. They are calm, quiet, gentle and laid back; happy to sleep their day away on their backs on a sofa. More than 90% of Galgos can be considered cat-friendly and are therefore an ideal choice for the hound lover who also owns cats. Almost all Galgos are also friendly towards other dogs and small dogs. Galgos are also very good with children, being calm in the house so there is less risk of a child being knocked over or jumped on than with a more excitable breed. They are very gentle and tolerate the often over-enthusiastic attentions of children with little risk of retaliation from the dog. Galgos have a very reserved personality and they have a tendency towards shyness, so it is very important that they be socialized early in life so that they grow up to be comfortable around strange people, dogs and locations.
