The origin of the Spanish Greyhound dates back to IV to VI B.C. when the Iberian Peninsula was inhabited by the Celtic folk. Actually in its homeland it’s called the Galgo Espanol, which is translated as Celtic Dog. Celts had brought to this region their dogs and they consequently and frequently interbred them with their local dogs as well as with the dogs of merchants who traded with the Celtic tribe. However there is another theory as far as the appearance and the age of the breed concerns. It’s speculated that it has been invented long before the Roman era and its progenitors were various types of ancient Asian Greyhounds. In any case, the Spanish Greyhound quickly adjusted for challenging and diverse Spanish terrains.
