"....mmmmmmm, nummy goat's milk to fill my tummers! moob ober brudder... it's Icee Time!!!..."
I just saw this thread I'm so intrested in the pre adoption idea very resposible idea. Your dogs are very beautiful I remeber when a couple of sled racers started here until they were know better . The same stuff happened. Welcome and keep us up on the progress of the little one.
Ohhh!
Icee is SOO cute. I just want to kiss his little nose! :p
Congrats on your "New addition". Hopefully their will be PLENTY more pictures to follow? ;) ;)
As for 7up, Go away if all your going to do it stir up more trouble. All GHD wants to do is show off his new baby, and your really not contribuiting to the many "Congrats!". So, PT doesn't need any trouble. :)
You're beautiful, Jay. :DQuote:

You come in here and crap all over GD's cute puppy thread and then worry about being "attacked." :rolleyes:
That's her M.O., Martin.. always worried how she'll appear. Why do you think she hides in anonymity and why people like you and I readily mention who we are...it's simple really, if you've got nothing to hide... you don't ;)
omg what a gorgeous pup!:D i hope she does well for you!Post many more pics of her;)
She's adorable!
I know she'll have the time of her life, running. I believe if its what the dog was originally bred to do, and the dog enjoys it, go for it! :D I'll be rootin' her on.
Congrats!
There's my sweet girl!!!!! And her sweet Daddy!!!
If anyone ever has any doubt about how well these puppies, in particular, are treated and how much they are loved, then they have simply to come and see them and meet their current mommy. She has to be one of the warmest, lovingest, sweetest women on the planet. And she goes out of her way daily to make sure that these babies are healthy, happy and and have wonderful lives. There is not a better mommy or friend that they or I could have.
Bred to run or not, they do LOVE to run! Not for long periods.... gosh that sure takes it out of you.... and then you have to rest for a long time. And they do love to play, and play they do... until they wear their little selves right out. It's hard work I'm telling you!
And as for GreyHoundDaddy. I'm not sure I've ever met a man who has loved and doted on (and spoiled) his baby more and who has been more proud of his baby girl regardless of what type of dog she is. So, it seems to me that this thread is about nothing more than a proud daddy showing off his new baby! And what a beautiful baby she is! And I am very proud that she will be going home with him one day.
And one other thing I have to say. Dogs DO smile... They can grin like crazy and a grinny dog is my favorite kind of dog..... have you never seen a grinning dog..... My dog grins from ear to ear when she greets people that she really loves or when she gets really excited or happy over something. And at 14 she rarely does anything that causes her to pant, so I can't really attribute it to that.
Sorry this is so long, but let's try to keep the focus here.... It does make me happy that there are so many people who are willing to make peace rather than argument. And basically to agree to disagree as it were.
What a beauty your new baby is.
Love and good wishes to all

Why are the puppies drinking goats milk??
Have they been taken away from their mother??
They are old enough at this age that they have been weaned by their mother, although they still spend some time with her.
The goats milk is just something that they like that helps keep them healthy. It was used as a supplement to mother's milk as well when it was needed.
Puppies are given goats milk to supplement their kibble. They love it. They will eventually be introduced to meat and weaned from the goat's milk.Quote:

Most farmers take the pups from their dam at around three months. Farmers understand that there is a great deal of greyhound lore to be taught the pups by their mothers. It's cute to see her in the sprint field every day being chased by a bunch of her pups desperate to keep up. Most dams know to set a pace just ahead of the pups.
An Irish breeder I know thinks this is so important he tries to leave them in until a month or so before the dam's next season which could be up to nine months. This can be done with litters that get along famously, but three months is about the age that the pups' playful scrapping can become injurious, so farmers figure out who is picking on whom and put them in separate pens. This is also about the time that some dams lose patience with their pups and can be overzealous in their discipline.
If the litter is a large one, or there are rivalry issues, the pups will be broken up into factions and placed in neighboring pens. Sometimes a pup who is a pariah in his litter and is picked on by the rest is put in with a friendly litter of similar or slightly younger age.
Watching the pack dynamics in these litters is endlessly facinating, especially when one knows the personalities of the sire and dam well. It doesn't take long for the pups' personalities to emerge. It sounds like Cathie had this litter's temperaments figured out after just a few weeks.
yeah... what Martin said!

Awww, what cuties! They are just precious, GreyhoundDaddy. :)
When do you start to train them for racing? I would love to see some pictures of them running, too. They must love that.
