Dog Races

[Muddy4paws]

Wow.. This thread got a bit heated up!


Back to the main question.. I am not very well educated of what goes on behind the scenes of racing but I can understand that there is obviously good and bad in most respects.. But I wouldn't go to watch dog or horse racing because I find it boring to be honest.. I would much prefer to go to the park and watch my own dogs running about like goofs!

I would of the other hand consider adopting an ex racer .. more than a puppy.. Just because I guess that a dog doesn't have too much choice over its life and I would like to think that if I ever did adopt one that I would be changing that dogs like for the better.. I have to agree with some other posters though, I have seen so many ex racers in adoption shelters and It is sad.

My dog got attacked by an ex racer greyhound she was running about in the park as usual and this greyhound set eyes on her and RAN! luckily the greyhound had a kind of muzzle but my dog was so shook up! The owner was so apologetic about everything but my dog now has a fear of them so I wouldn't ever get one while she is here with us

With the start of the new district kennel club, we may bring lure coursing to the city, including all-breed lure coursing. I will definatly be involved in it, Visa would be so good at it.
