A "sight hound" is a type of dog that primarily relies on its keen eyesight to hunt and track prey. These dogs are known for their long legs, slender bodies, and exceptional speed, allowing them to chase down animals like rabbits and deer. Common breeds of sight hounds include Greyhounds, Whippets, and Salukis. Sight hounds have a unique hunting style, often using their vision to spot prey from a distance before sprinting to catch it. Unlike scent hounds, which depend on their sense of smell, sight hounds are more visually oriented and excel in open terrains where they can see far ahead.
