Sighthounds, also called gazehounds, are hounds that primarily hunt by speed and sight, instead of by scent and endurance, as scent hounds do.
The purpose of this group is for posting of sighthounds in need and anything relating to their welfare. It is a place for those interested in helping sighthounds to offer their assistance.
