We do get attached to the dogs. But do you think it would be best for these people to take the dogs back to the farms to live out there lives or to send them on to homes where there will be two or three other dogs to share a home with?
If I could take each and every one of my dogs home I would but how happy would they be if I had 50 dogs living in my house?
I feel it's best to place them with people that will enjoy them as much as I would and will have the time to give every dog in there home.
It's a great day when I hear from someone that has adopted a dog from me and tell's me how much they love this hound and how it has changed there life.
I had one hound that lives in a Nursing home. Have another hound that watches out for a woman that has seziures and lets her know when she is about to have one and nudges her until she sits down.
I would never have met so many wonderful people who love these dogs just as every bit as much as I did if I didn't allow these dogs to be adopted.
If I could take them all I never would because I know that there would never be enough time in every day to love these dogs like there new adoptive homes do with just a few animals in there homes.

The thing I don't get is... why breed a dog, race it, then when it no longer can race -- get rid of it?
Do people not get attached to these dogs, love these dogs? Why would they want to get rid of them?
It's just like the idiots who breed Pits, fight them, then if they lose they dump them to die if not already dead. I don't think anything could be AS bad as that, but IMO very similar.
I depise people getting "rid" of dogs unless it's for a VERY good reason, such a they aren't capable of taking care of themselves, let alone another life.
