In his Guanzhong dialect, "dog commander" Pan Zhengxing from Pucheng county, Shaanxi province describes his fondness for greyhounds as a hobby.

Pan, 68, looks like he is in his early 50s. And he attributes his appearance to his dogs.

Pan, who has eight greyhounds at home, says the dogs take up most of his yard.

His greyhounds, with their sharp faces, and long ears, are tall and thin, and they are swift and good at hunting.

Greyhounds chasing rabbits is a traditional activity in Pucheng.
