Description
The Chart Polski, or Polish Greyhound, possesses a regal air and an independent spirit. These elegant sighthounds are more than just beautiful; they’re incredibly intelligent and surprisingly watchful, often taking on a guardian role for their chosen family. While devoted, they maintain a certain dignified aloofness, preferring to observe before showering affection. Their hunting heritage means they excel at bursts of speed and need ample opportunities to stretch their long legs in secure areas. Inside, they transform into surprisingly calm, affectionate companions who enjoy snuggling on soft furnishings, but their keen senses mean nothing escapes their notice.
