As long as we base our knowledge on things that we have seen with our own eyes then I never have a problem with it.

I know that before I ever got into the whole racing greyhound thing my mom would tell me stories of how she would go to the vets office and there would be "a pile" of dead greyhounds in the back of the vets office. This was back in the early 80's

In the early 90's I was going to school for dog grooming and needed to find a night job and wanted to work with animal. There was a local dog track where I lived so I thought what better place.

Here I saw good and bad. The way I looked at it was I would report the bad and have the proper people handle it along with a big tongue lashing at the accused.

I felt and still do feel that I make a difference in the dogs lives. That the dogs that are within my care will be guanteed a life of retirement, in an adoption home when there work is done.

I have gotten the calls from owners that have told me that once there dog is done racing to put them down. This is where I feel I make the greatest difference. I explain why this is not the correct way to handle this. I put these people in contact with the groups that I work with so they can understand that this is the best choice for the hounds.
IF I didn't do this who would? Who would change there minds?

I'm in the business because I love the hounds and truely feel that I make a differance.
