Description
Beautiful monochromatic portrait of a Spanish Galgo.
The Galgo Espanol Spanish Galgo or Spanish Greyhound is an ancient breed of dog, specifically a member of the sighthound family. One theory is that the Galgo was named for the Gauls, who inhabited the Iberian Peninsula 400–600 B.C.E. The Galgo breed was probably a result of the dogs brought by the Gauls on their migration through the peninsula mixed with dogs brought by traders who did business with the Gauls. Other theories believe they likely originated from ancient Egypt as they, or hounds very similar to them, are depicted in the sculptures and paintings of the ancient Egyptians. Certainly they are a much older breed than the northern European sighthounds such as Greyhounds, Wolfhounds and Deerhounds.
