Man, I love people like you. The kind I'd see in person, give you a wry little smile and keep walking on by.

That said... Care to see some pics of puppies? I've gone and done something that's becoming more and more popular within the greyhound world. It's called "pre-adoption". Meaning, I got to know a breeder/trainer and when she had a broody that had a litter, I fell in love with one of her pups. The breeder/trainer told me that once the pup was done racing ... it could be 3-5 years from now... that the day she comes off the track, she's mine. I'm not the only person, nor am I the first and I certainly wont be the last to go this route. I think you'll find that the people that do this, are commited to these new babies.

Now, I'm going to post a link to a homepage I made for the pup I've pre-adopted that has some pics on teh page itself, the story of her litters birth and some other links including her photo album. All I can do is ask that you look at it with an open mind and realize that everything one reads isn't necessarily so.

I'm sorry that I offended you because it wasn't my intention.

What I've been trying to say all along (and I'm not sure I've done a good job of it) is that I know you guys care about your dogs. I know there are good breeders and racers who care. I am in no way trying to deny or ignore those facts. It just hurts my heart to know about the ones who don't care though. Just as it hurts my heart to know of the bad breeders of ANY other breed out there.
