Concerning Grey sizes I have picked up hounds from the track weighing in from 35 pounds up to 98 pounds. Some breeders like the larger hounds and some go for the small ones. As in everything else, people have their own opinions as to which 'size' is best for racing so we have lines bred for different sizes. That is why there are so many sizes of greys out there and thay are all precious.
