The Greyster is a type of sled dog bred for sled dog racing, especially dryland sports like canicross and bikejoring.[1] The greyster is crossbred from the Greyhound and the German Shorthair Pointer.[2]
The greyster gets its endurance and its enthusiasm from the German Shorthaired Pointer and its speed from the Greyhound.[2][3]
The name "greyster" is a portmanteau of Greyhound and Pointer.[4]
