Well, i was just looking around for cartoons of greyhounds for a laugh. I need it after the dog we own was disqualified for fighting. It was her first race in the UK after a few of us bought her over from Ireland, where she ran her first 3 races in Cork..
clocking a best time of 29.15 secs for 525yards. So ....she is no slouch and cost us $5,000.
Her is the story of her first race in the Uk...and maybeThe race was one in a thousand!..........Wait for it!
Rosstemple took the lead easily in the back straight after breaking well
from the traps. Then she was coming up to the winning line and slowed down
to a prance and waited and then started attacking another dog?????? Well,
we just could not believe it!!...we were all struck dumb!!! the shock for
all of us was strange and time just passed us by for half an houror so! We
all eventually came out of our thoughts and the shock of it.......and of
course the fact we should have won on our bets some thing like $6,000 was
even harder to swallow. We had put on between us some thing like $2,000 to
win the $ 6,000......once this bet had been placed, she was then Hot
Favorite! She was disqualified of course.....and knowing we would have WON
just made it worse.
Now what....well,..................The Dog! She would have set a
excellent time if she had not turned around and started attacking the dog
called, wait for it....."Man of Iron", true! this dog was also 2 years older
and 20 pounds heavier!!! I will take a picture of the race card for you to
see. When they race they have muzzles on, so they cant bite any one or
another dog ....the reason is they are very excited, not because they are
necessarily dangerous. The prize money is not big for greyhound racing and
this was her first race, the money is around $200 but she would then move
on....it was the gamble and we new that the dog was trying and our trainer
gave us the nod???? Now, usually a dog which has done that ...attacking
another dog would be put down or passed on for a pet. We have been offered
from Ireland another dog of equal ability and price....as a replacement from
the breeder but getting the right one may take some time. In the mean time
we have decided to give her a rest and get the pill out of her system, the
pill is to stop her coming in season and is given to bitches so they can
race more and don't have to take time off when they come in season....which
is usaully 10 weeks. The strain of a young bitch and not having her first
season maybe the answer?? So, then she will have to have 4 more clearing
trials and if she gets through...she can race again, we will change her name
also as with this name she will be to well known as the "Hound from
Hell"..Hee! So, it is a gamble but she never has attacked another dog before
and with so much ability and potential......we will give her a chance but
Wednesday night ...we will all be there for a meeting and the picture will
become clearer. ...got to fly....Malcolm

Hey Arlene Great site. Glad I got to see it. We had miniature Greyhounds back in the 60s and 70s. But alas had to get out of the business when we left Miami.
We had several friends in the racing world out in Hialeah and Miami Springs.
Good to hear from you.

Really enjoyed reading all about your greys and looking at the pictures! All were really cool! I, too, have a greyhound, but up here we think she was used for hunting more than racing. That's what they're usually for up in ND. Got her at the Humane So
iety and have not regretted it since. She is a doll. But aren't they all? :-))
Thanks for sharing.

I recently adopted a greyhound (May 1998). She had no name so I was able to give her one (ALEXIS). Apparently, her legs were to short and she did not race well. Adopting her was the best thing I've ever done!

I enjoyed the photos of your greyhounds. Years ago
in the 70's I had a beautiful brindle greyhound called Crestfields Sundance Kid. I wasn't able to
keep him as I was very involved with Afghans and rescueing them at the time. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Sundance. Heard he got his Am. and Can. championships.... I have a Siberian Husky now....!!!! Nice web page.

This is a really nice webpage. Although I am the proud mom of two Black Labs, my co-worker has just become the proud mom of her second Greyhound. I think the Greyhound is a fantastic breed for families and need all the rescue help they can get from the
race tracks. Sorry this is so long, but I was really trying to find a picture of two Greyhounds that I could send to my friend to congratulate her on her new Greyhound. Yours are really beautiful - it's a great idea !!!!

You have a really nice page and I'm coming back to visit some more. You mentioned you didn't have this guestbook ready to sign but it seems to be working ok.
One suggestion (Don't take this personal):Visit http:www.websitegarage.com and do the 7 free tune-ups and tests they have. It has helped my page speed up loading a little bit. I don't think I can compress the jpg's and gif's anymore. Anyway you may want
to try.
I really like the background color!!!
