Greyster is a type of dog that is bred in the mid 1980s in Norway through a series of crosses between the German Shorthaired Pointer and the Greyhound for the purpose of sled-pulling, skijoring, pulka races and other such sled racing.[1] The Greyster gets its endurance and its enthusiasm from the German Shorthaired Pointer and its speed from the Greyhound, making it very well-suited for skijoring competitions and other similar sports.[2]
Greysters have been bred for speed and endurance in winter conditions.[3]
