The results of our study were compared with the biometric indices of other breeds of dogs, including the original breeds from which Greysters derive, and the indices of Polish native breeds. The study showed that the Greysters were characterised by intermediate height, as compared with their original breeds, i.e. they were shorter than Greyhounds and taller than German Shorthaired Pointers, and their height index was lower than one. This means that the height at the withers dominated over the diagonal body length in the rectangular shape of the Greyster body. The massiveness index showed that the advantage of the chest girth over the height at the withers was similar to that of the Polish Greyhound. The Greyster eurysomy index was also similar to that of the Polish Greyhound. The biometric parameters of Greysters incline them to run fast. This inclination was also indicated by the leg length index and the proportions of the length of the sections of the pelvic limb. Further research is necessary to obtain full biometric characteristics of Greysters. The results obtained at this stage of the research can be used as an auxiliary tool to select these animals for reproduction or sport competitions. If a breed standard is to be established for Greyster dogs and they are classified as an FCI breed, any information with biometric data may help to set this standard.
