Description
Greyhound owners often say the same thing: they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. The speed, the silliness, the way they spend most of their lives draped across a sofa but come alive the moment they see open space. This print captures that contradiction — a Greyhound silhouette filled with the words that are specific to this dog, their name, their personality, and the life they’ve made with the people who adopted them.
It works as a birthday or Christmas gift for any Greyhound owner, a welcome gift for someone who’s just adopted a rescue, or a memorial print for a gentle soul who’s no longer here. Because every word is personal, it reflects their actual dog — not a generic sighthound image.
What to include
The dog’s name, colour and markings (brindle, fawn, blue, black, white, parti), their racing name if they came from the track, nicknames the family have given them. Personality words — “fastest thing we’ve ever seen but won’t walk up stairs”, “melts into any sofa”, “can’t do corners at speed”, “terrified of plastic bags but fearless on the straight”. Favourite walks and parks, the other greyhounds or lurchers in their life, the rescue or adoption organisation they came from. For ex-racers: their race number, the track they ran at, the name they raced under.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable as a gift for someone who’s just adopted a rescue greyhound?
Yes — it’s one of the most thoughtful welcome gifts for a new greyhound owner. Include the dog’s name, the rescue they came from, the date they arrived home, and the early quirks already becoming part of the family story.
Can I include their racing history if they’re an ex-track dog?
Yes — the race name, track, and racing number are some of the most meaningful inclusions for ex-racers. It acknowledges where they came from before capturing who they’ve become at home.
Does the silhouette show a Greyhound specifically?
Yes — the silhouette is a Greyhound. The breed’s distinctive lean build and long neck are recognisable in the design. It also works well for Whippets and Lurchers.
What size works best?
A3 framed makes a strong statement in a hallway or living room. A4 works well on a shelf or desk alongside photos of the dog.
Brilliant service. Creating the print is really easy. I wanted to make some changes after buying the initial print and I emailed to ask if I could change it, they were so fast getting back to me and explained what I needed to do. Delivery was quick and the print in the frame looks really great. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase and the service I received. I would definitely recommend.
OMG! This was the perfect gift for the coaches at the end of the football season. They usually get vouchers, so this was a real step up and they absolutely loved them, as did all the parents. The final product soooo much better in the flesh than the proof! Website and process really easy to navigate and the price was great. I would buy again and again. If you’re thinking twice…. no need to!
