WorkingBullandTerrier 132 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hello everyone. My husband and I both own and work various bulldog breeds, bull terriers, patterdales, and a whippet. The only dog I am still seeking is a Greyhound. I don't know a single person that has any. I have contacted tracks about retired racers, but they just refer me to rescues, who are of course anti hunting, and they spay and neuter everything. Does anyone have any suggestions or leads to point me in the right direction in my search for a Greyhound? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post
gleninnes 33 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 if you see someone walking greyhounds in the street approach them and i,m sure they will put you in the right direction . greyhound men are usually looking for retired homes for their dogs , they would rather do that as put them down , well most of them .. thats my bit of advice as a x greyhound man 1 Quote Link to post
chris k 205 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 not all greyhound rescue centres are antis (used to think the same myself) there more against the way the dogs are used then just thrown out onto the streets or worse. As long as you can give a decent home to a hound and will stick with it into old age threw thick an thin they will help you. For example check this rescue centre http://tiagreyhounds.org/ are excellent. I have to say i agree with the principles behind this. i believe in hunting with dogs (F THE BAN) but i also believe that any hunter should look after his hound 100%. hope this helps 1 Quote Link to post
