But slow doesn't automatically mean less of a prey drive. Just means they can't catch the bunny

The only fact is the two types of greyhounds look different. Underneath they are one and the same. I have owned both types and also fosterd for GAP. My current young silly girl had her counterpart in a young silly girl I fostered. My proper old men dogs have had their counterparts in the racing dogs. I have bred dogs with insane prey drive. I haven't bred any fast enough to win on a race track but I'm not alone in that as seen by the many racing greyhounds PTS for being too slow.

Take a fold up chair for starters????

I'd put my dogs down too before handing them over to places like the RSPCA.

Only difference it might make for me is more people will be wanting to buy a puppy. They would all be vetted for suitability as I've always done. My show bred greys have had no racing bloodlines since 1930 or so. A lot of imported semen is used in Australia (show greys)

Do not haggle about the price. Fastest way to get a breeder off side. Mind you I gave a discount to an overseas buyer who bought 2 of my pups. The transport costs were pretty high and they were a great home which has been proven over 5 tears.

My dogs come first and I would be sending the foster back asap

The only risk as I see it is when the greyhound will be doing zoomies. ???? But Andy will learn to get out of the way. My old girl stands still when the other two take off, they know where she is and avoid her. Once the first frantic dash is over then Fern will join in.

I've not tried this myself but I have read one way to stop fence running (if they are also doing this as opposed to fighting in one spot) is to put small barriers or obstructions on the fence at intervals. It breaks up the straight running that builds up the aggression. If they have to swerve around things it takes them away from the actual fence. The explanation made sense to me. Can't recall where I read it.

Yes I had an email during the week. Pet Circle? But it might have only been for 24 hours.

It might make it much more difficult to find good homes for puppies but I am quite happy to not have a popular breed. Soŕry you have been dragged into the mire Gemini

I think her head is a bit spitz like

Don't waste your money on a DNA test. They have been proven wrong many times. Yes try the breed club and also a few more details wpuld help; height, weight, a full body shot.

I was trapped in my bed this morning by 3 greyhounds ????

I hope the OP reads this. And acts on it.

Feed him a balanced oil, omega 3:6:9 every day. Paw paw wouldn't hurt byt if his skin is cracking I would consider a visit to the vet. Also is he lying on concrete a lot?

Why revive a 6 yo thread? Start a new one if you must

The page is no longer showing up. The club is not at all happy. It might also pay for everyone to remember Ms Healey is not the only person involved. 2 properties were raided, at least 2 women involved.

Oops

I had a pup born with a double kink at the end of the tail. Was going to cause lots of problems so had it docked. Most people would never know, the tail was just shortened a bit. If your pup had been mine I would have had it docked. Docked doesn't mean cut it off close to the body either.

Lots of breeders don't allow visits until after the first vaccination so totally normal.

Hook and eye? Yes made of metal. I have the eye part (circle) screwed into the door frame. The hook is attached to the door. When door is closed hook goes into the eye. Meaning door can not be opened easily. A determined person could force door open but that would be the case with a lot of locks

Great update!

I use a hook and eye on my kitchen doot that leads to the rest of the house. Has been very effective for many years.
