The phrase
"sighthound breed" refers to a specific type of dog breed that is known for its exceptional sight and speed. Sighthounds are dogs that rely on their eyesight to hunt and chase prey, rather than using their sense of smell like most other hunting dogs. These breeds are often slender and long-legged, allowing them to run very fast. Some examples of
sighthound breeds include Greyhounds, Afghan Hounds, and Salukis.
