HazyWal Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Last Sunday a video was made for GAPVIC with a greyhound walking group we go to at Westerfolds Park in Templestowe Victoria. Max the Iggy's mum tells how she has come along a few times and walked a greyhound to see if one would suit as a sibling for him He is the cutest little man. Stan and Maddie make a few cameo's :D blink and you'll miss us. It's a friendly group of greyhound lovers and a few ring-ins lol so if you're in Melbourne and thinking of adopting a greyhound come walk with us! ETA If you already have a greyhound it doesn't matter if it's not a GAP dog or is not green collared. Stan and Maddie are neither and we feel very welcomed, Kate that runs this particular walk is lovely. Edited April 16, 2015 by HazyWal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkycat Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) That is beautiful HazyWal ! I wonder if there is a similar group in SA that I could sneak my Borzoi into :) And I will have to stop reading Stan's antics outloud - Bosco my Borzoi just stole my apple as I was watching the video :laugh: Edited April 16, 2015 by sparkycat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great video, Hazy - and such a super place for walking. I think I'm envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on a few greyhound walks with GAPNSW back home but they only have a few a year, here in Melbourne there are walks every weekend with all different groups it's brilliant. This particular group is a two hour round trip for us to get to but we enjoy it so much it's well worth the hike. ETA Stan says good job Bosco :laugh: Edited April 16, 2015 by HazyWal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyWal Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 what a great idea! It is isn't it? :) There are always other breeds there too which is great to show people that greys can get along with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beltar Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Terrific video! What a great way to spread the word. Love the "test drive" idea. Looking forward to the Igs and I joining you, Stan and Maddie on a walk soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Great video Hazy & what a fabulous idea. Get to meet fellow owners etc. I would love a BC one I watched the next video after the Gap one & that looked like so much fun for the lovely Greys & they get to run off leash in safety. Terrific really & you could see just how much they love to run... It was at some sort of slipway or something they called it but it looked like a Greyhound training track perhaps.

Yep they're called a slipping track BCC, they are a straight fenced track that trainers use but a lot of rescue groups use them too. I used to take Stan to the one at Gosford Dog track on Showground Rd but he'd only run up once and want to go home :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I loved the video! Great for the general public to see ... & to go along and meet the greys. Made me so nostalgic for when I'd take my tibbie, Angel, along to act as small dog tester for GAP. I fell in love with every grey tested.... & so did she.

westiemum Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Fantastic Hazy. What a brilliant idea, brilliant video and gorgeous dogs - greys are such graceful movers compared with the chunky westies around here!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit some selfishness as I always post the GAP WA greys on my page, in hope that some of my friends in Perth will adopt one of these lovely dogs so Ronin and I can get more Grey-Time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
