They were bred on purpose in some cases to produce "Lurchers", heavier dogs that came up after the game was run to bay by the greyhounds. Greyhounds are too light to pull down wolves, etc.
I just posted this to show the beauty of this cross. Their eyes are the huge, luminous eyes of the sighthounds. Their ears stand up and they resemble Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god. With the sleek body, they run with the suspended gallop of the Greyhound. Yet they are not as soft in their disposition as the Greyhound and are more muscular.
Not random at all, GSD/Husky/GH = best sled dogs (so I've been told by my friend who breeds them) Intelligence of the GSD, Strength and Stamina of the Husky and speed and temperament of the GH They are also beautiful (I posted a pic or 2 of his dogs somewhere)
The first dog I had of my own in my life was a Greyhound/GSD. Later I also had a GSD/ Russian Wolfhound. As a horsewoman, it is a blessing to have such a companion.
I have seen Irish wolfhound mixes with gsd make for very beautiful/ interesting looking dog
