tinklefod1 21 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 allright people?? well i was down oxford last weekend and ended up with a pure grey dumped on me!! he is 27"tts and from what im told about 14 month old? he was with two fellas one was called mick? he was asian and had mad black hair, the other was an old irish bloke and are both from around gthe birmingham area? now they gave me him cause after his run it took them 30mins - 1hour to get him back he was petrified of them. i have looked in his ears and the only tat he has is like 3 little dots followed by MK2, anyone any ideas on what this is or what it means?? my mate has looked for me and says he thinks its just a breeders tat so anyone know who the breeder is off this tat or where do i find out about him?? he's a lovely fella and although taking time to settle in (whinging and moaning) his appetite is back and is on the same as my lurchers, i am going to try and gain his trust then have a go at re entering him onto the track although i havent a clue what distance to put him in, think il start with a sprint and see how he goes from there, does this sound about right?? i dont get on here very often but will try to reply as soon as i see a reply if i get any, any info is appreciated cheers very much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluediamond 4 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 You will get all the info by going on the flappersdream forum. Also there is the greyhound-data forum as well. Both websites are very helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tote 856 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 You will get all the info by going on the flappersdream forum. Also there is the greyhound-data forum as well. Both websites are very helpful. Don't think you'll find out anything about the dog on Flappersdream and greyhound data will only have the earmarks of the dog if someone has registered them on that forum. Your best bet would be to give the Greyhound Stud Book a ring, here's a link below. http://www.greyhoundstudbook.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My greyhounds have 3 letters 1 number in there right ear. Luckily i had there stud book and change over of ownership papers come with them. Also they have to be microchipped to race. And yes they do whinge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it all comes together when their on the track racing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluediamond 4 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Some of the greyhounds at my local track don't have any earmarks but still race. They must be micro-chipped though. Which can be done at the track or by your vet. The best of luck with him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
