Because of a tendency for quietude and docility, Galgos have been adopted as [[Pet| pets]] by many. In Spain they have a reputation as gentle dogs, with sweet temperaments and solid health. They tend to get along well with people and other dogs, and can be well-behaved around cats if properly socialized. They require daily exercise and stimulation in exchange for their calm demeanor, since they get bored easily.<ref name=":0" /> Outside of warm climates, such as their native Spain, they require a warm coat in winter weather. Like all greyhound-type breeds, they have little body fat and short coats, so extra warmth is necessary for colder climates.

Galgos excel at performance activities like [[lure coursing]] and racing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dw.com/en/spains-mistreated-greyhounds/av-46270138|title=Spain's mistreated greyhounds &#124; DW &#124; 25.04.2019|first=Deutsche|last=Welle (www.dw.com)|via=www.dw.com}}</ref> They are eligible to compete in lure coursing events sanctioned by the [[American Sighthound Field Association]], entered in the Limited class. They have enjoyed success in the European [[dog show| show ring]], although they are not as well known beyond the European show world due to their rarity outside the continent.
