The galgo does not need much exercise. Three walks of 20 minutes a day is usually enough. Despite being the athletes of the canine world, galgos are not very active dogs. Obviously it depends a lot on the age, a young galgo less than two years old has more need to run than an older one.

The Spanish Galgo is a medium-size hound dog breed from Spain with a short, smooth or rough coat and a narrow, lanky build. Also known as the Spanish greyhound, these dogs closely resemble the more common English greyhound dog breed likely a relative of them. Galgos are athletic, with good swiftness and endurance.
