Greyhounds run fast because they have been bred for running. At some point in the past, only the best runners among those dogs were permitted to breed. Doing this over several generations resulted in a line of dogs that was good at running.

How fast do Italian Greyhounds run?

Iggys definitely look like they're as fast as a car, but their top recorded running speed is much closer to 30. Greyhounds will go about 40 and a thoroughbred horse will run 45.
