A greyhound puppy has a better chance of ending up in a good home than most pure-bred dogs and certainly most mixes. Greyhound adoption, despite all its growing pains and strife, is the envy of every...

From birth to the end of their racing careers they have never been apart from other greyhounds. Unlike most puppies who are taken from their mothers at 8 weeks or so, greyhounds stay with their dams...

What was the history of this dog before he was adopted? Did he race? Was he adopted in this condition or did he start to lose weight afterward?

I'm wondering if a return to his track diet,...

This is correct. This appears to be a new strain. Some have levelled criticism at the state's gaming commission which seems misguided. There was no way of predicting the strength of this particular...

Here's more information from May 13th in The Greyhound Daily News

Here is an article from today's Akron Beacon Journal:

Translation: I disagree with what this person has to say so I want the thread locked so he can no longer say it. I see the Pet Talk PC monitors are hard at work.

Yup, this again. This discussion might seem unnecessary to you, young lady, but it is extremely important to a great number of people. Among greyhound racing, adoption, and pet people, this single...

So what of the breed? The AKC breeds 160 greyhounds a year. They are hideously inbred and nearly incapable of coursing game, the very thing greyhounds have been bred to do for 5,000 years. You seem...

Karina,

I'm sorry, but I smell a rat here. The posts I saw on sites like GreyTalk and WatchMyHound were verbatim copies of what was posted on your web site. The ones I saw were essentially...

That's not exactly first-hand experience. You are very lucky that the radical Animal Rights crowd hasn't latched onto your sport and brutalized and lied about it in the worst possible way as they've...

The life of luxury? Sounds like my dogs! :D

Have you ever been to a greyhound farm, kennel or track?

I am one of those "greedy" bastards you are speaking of. I've never made a nickel at greyhound racing. I breed and race these dogs because I love the breed. I want greyhounds to survive into the...

The track in Belmont closed due accusations that two employees tried to circumvent gaming laws. Lakes Region is a small, seasonal track and no dogs are on the premises at this time. The track has...

This actually started two days ago with an infinitely more dire e-mail that was sent to 1000s upon 1000s of people who were unduly alarmed by Dakin Shelter in Massachusetts. The shame of it was that...

Impeccably bred, their bloodlines can be traced back to the 1700s.

Hip dysplasia is unknown in greyhounds.

They do not have an oily coat. There is no "doggy" smell and minimal shedding.

They...

I find it amazing that a person who has seen a few sled dog races is suddenly an expert and knows how everyone in the sport treats their dogs.

You mushers out there, I can comiserate. I'm a...

I notice that Dakin Shelter changed their original post to reflect some semblance of reality, but only after scaring the crap out of a great number of people these past few days.

BTW, there was...

It should also be noted that Connecticut is a No Kill state. Unlike other breeds of dogs and mutts, it is unlawful to put down a racing greyhound in CT. Neither the track nor the kennels can put...

Dakin Shelter in Massachusetts is circulating an e-mail that is raging around the internet at the speed of light and is unnecessarily scaring and alarming a great number of people because it is...
