Heralded throughout the centuries as an animal of great worth, the Greyhound is the only breed of dog mentioned in the Bible. It was also the first breed mentioned in English literature in Geoffrey Chaucer’s 14th Century “The Canterbury Tales”.

In the 10th Century, King Howel of Wales made killing a Greyhound punishable by death. King Canute of England established the Forest Laws in 1014 stating that;

“no meane person (commoner) may keep any greyhounds”
