About Sighthounds in General: Sighthounds are a wonderous class of dogs. Tall, lean, graceful, noble bearing ... and unbelievable vision. Add in an ability to focus their entire being on a moving object, and you get disaster when an unwary handler allows his dog off-leash. In a matter of minutes, your sighthound could be gone from your sight completely, heading who-knows-where, following who-knows-what. It is highly recommended that a sighthound never be allowed off-leash, except in secure, enclosed areas.
