Dog Races

[Uabassoon]

Greys please don't twist my words around. I'm doing my best not to twist yours but instead respond with my own opinions.

No where did I say that no one should breed greyhounds, I stated that I loved the breed very much. I just don't agree with breeding to race (for human entertainment such as gambling)

I have no problem with hunting dogs, sled dogs, and police dogs. Those dogs live with their owners and work along side them. We have a few sleders on this board, when a dog retires it l lives out it's entire life with them. Yes I realize not all sleders are like this, and I don't approve and have problems with sleders that treat their dogs like property.

Good breeders will sell their pups to aproved homes then if the home doesn't work out they will take back the puppy because they realize that if they breed a dog it's a lifetime commitment. Please don't twist those words around either. I'm not saying all breeders, which is why I only believe in supporting good breeders. Part of that means that they are willing to make a lifetime commitment to the dog and if it doesn't get sold then it lives it's life with them.

I'n not saying that every single person who races a greyhound is horrible. I just think the business as a whole is bad and don't support it.
