If it ever comes back I’m working there

It used to be a nice place to go out with the family and friends back in 1994; but?

Beth Hench, Didn't you hear the video. Greyhound's are inside dogs. Genrally they have a short, fine coat and thin skin If you are going to get a greyhound you need to be around to either take them out to go potty or let them out into a well fenced yard to do the same. They cannot be left out side.

take him/her out on a leash

+Ed Lo Many are put down. Some are used in breeding. Some are adopted out.

they should have a law that force the owners to provide for the dogs after they retire.

Ed Lo Agreed!

+Ed Lo that wouldn't be super possible. They couldn't handle all of the dogs as grey hounds only race for few years. Plus they don't really connect with their animals. It's better for them to be retired and rehomed to someone who will actually care for them

well then at least monetarily provide for the dogs so that they don't end up being put down or in crappy living conditions while waiting to get adopted.

Aaron Hart I have one, they're great pets

Another kid From Africa, Greyhounds that are in training or live in apartments have to be taken for up to 4 short walks a day to go to the toilet. It is not ideal to keep them waiting too long, especially as they age. Most have 2 longer walks early morning and night. Then they have their training.

Another kid From Africa, retired dogs don't need as much walking, but still need to be able to relieve them selves. We have had several greyhounds that have to be forced to go out side if it's too cold or hot or late at night or rainy, especially the older ones. Others love going out no matter what.

I agree! I know they love to sleep but they also love to be off lead and run like crazy and play with other Dog's. My Greyhound,, Fergus is NEVER on a lead and we walk one to two hours every day round Loch Leven, (Scotland) where he is totally free to be a Dog. 10 minute walk round the block indeed. What a miserable existance!

Bourne Accident, Greyhounds are like any other dog, pack animals, Greyhounds especially are from birth, always paired with atleast 1 other dog. They keep each other warm as new borns, they wrestle each other, they race each other, they compete for food, they compete over toy's, beds, tug of war,

Bourne Accident, they have barking competitions, they fight. They go off to be broken in together. You are your dogs pack, when you leave, your dog alone he feels vunerable, like they would if they were in the wild. Chances are if you got another dog, your first dogs seperation anxiety wouldn't be so bad.

Gabby K, If it's a registered track, for racing, the track doesn't own them. If it's a trial, training or practice track owned privately by trainers they may have dogs they don't want, but if I was you I'd get one from the rescue groups. They need to be habituated to other small animals, they need

Gabby K, to be vet checked, vaccinated, wormed, remicrochipped and spayed. Usually it costs less for the rescue groups to do it than you paying for it your self.

redhawtmella I think every race track should have banners that promote adopting retired racers. This video was really great, although it seems a little old (like from the early 2000s or late 1990s, it has that feel you know?).

davenport 1947, Do you know if he was ever trained and/or raced ?

Please do!!! We've had them for many years they make great pets.

My family had had retired greyhounds since 1989. They are awesome family pets. We now have 2. Although large in size, the greyhound is very gentle and social. Will not hurt a fly. They love attention. They can live well in almost any house. However they spook easily and sometimes you have no idea why they are scared of something. One of my dogs is very afraid of ceiling fans and we have no idea why.

hyperbabe2009, They are not all easily spooked, they have different personalities just like any other dog. He may also have been abused just like many other rescue dog. Maybe he is frightened of the ceiling fan because he has never come accross them before. We had one that would get directly under

the ceiling fan, roll over onto his back, propping himself against a coffe table and go to sleep like that. In winter he would get so close to the fire it looked like he was trying to get into it. Same thing with the sun.

NJSMKMMS aww that's so cute! My Ziggy is doing well and he is much more social than when we first adopted him and is no longer afraid to go up the stairs.

my clothes look like a winter wonderland thanks to my dog which is a greyhound

You may not be grooming him/her enough. Try getting a short tooth deshedder brush. The furminator is an amazing one but can kind of run expensive. But the quality of it is really worth it. As for the dandruff give him a good bath, dry him off, give him a good brushing and start putting a teaspoon of olive oil in his food or even better feed him some really oily fish like sardines with his food. His dandruff may not clear up completely but it'll definitely help a lot over time. ALTHOUGH I don't want to scare you but theres also a possibility of it being cheyletiella or fur mite. They look just like dandruff which is why they're called walking dandruff. If he's got intense itching, scales on the skin, and hair loss. He's got cheyletiella. Otherwise its probably just a build up of dandruff over time which is a lot less expensive and easier to fix

my greyhound practically never sheds, and we don't even brush her

Dandruff on pets is like dandruff on humans. Some have it worse than others. I know my cat has TERRIBLE dandruff where as my other cat didn't. But yes the furminator is awesome! And you can get it pretty cheap off ebay or amazon if you're willing to look! I got mine for 20USD which is pretty good considering the one i usually got is 50USD

+Ethan Cartwright They do shed, just like any dog, that's why the video stated that you should give them a light brushing every day. As for the Dandruff you probably need to adjust the diet. Could be the food they are eating isn't right for them. Try something with less 'filler' (especially corn) and try adding some kind of oil to the diet. I currently have 2 large boys each has a totally different coat. My white with brindle has a thin slick coat and had bare spots on his hind quarters when we first got him, with some food adjustment we quickly took care of those. My brindle has a heavier softer coat but as you said had a great deal of dandruff. Good food, and oil to his diet every day got rid of it quickly. Also be careful you aren't 'over' bathing them.

Did you actually watch this video? It is pretty spot on. Have you visited a dog track kennel? Have you talked to greyhound trainers? Have you adopted a racing greyhound? You say "Come on they've never had a life" but that is by your human definition of life and you are not a dog. I've had retired racing greyhounds for 20 years and all of them have loved to run. What they do is a talent and ability unique to their breed. All of them have been happy, healthy and well adjusted dogs when they came to me. Dogs don't get that way by having horrible lives. And most of all, you do not have to poke or prod or bully a greyhound into running. They do it naturally because they love it. So I could make an argument that after we pet owners get the racing greyhounds they do not get to run anymore. We take away from them something that they love. Are we pet owners any better by your definition?

A Lee I own a retired racer also but unlike you, I don't pretend these dogs aren't abused on track. I suggest you do some research before you preach. These dogs live in cages, sleep on shredded paper bedding and when they can no longer race, they're shot, beheaded or starved to death. The lucky ones are offered for adoption. You can find horrifying videos and photos all over the internet. And yes, they love to run because that is their nature. I must say your views are rather childish.

Azariachan Shot? Starved to death? Beheaded?? Where the fuck do you come up with this shit? Most of those "horrifying videos" are made and posted by PETA, who are happy to mutilate the animals themselves. Because euthanizing a dog via the obvious method of lethal injection just wouldn't make their point, would it?

fleetcenturion just recently actually a woman who was walking stumbled on a whole bunch of bones which was later discovered as approx 55 grey hounds that had been shot or bashed to death, or beaten to the point that they couldn't move and were left to starve. This was in Australia btw

tigger1995Magi Wow! Shot, bashed to death, _and_ left to starve. If you're going to needlessly indict an industry because of your political views, can't you at least be consistent? I suppose PETA has to do something with the remains, once they finish their propaganda videos.

gulf greyhound pk was a top notch track,I hope 2018 reopening can create enough interest to keep it open

With that logic they’re also losing millions to Colorado and California in marijuana.

They were a one time the biggest track in the world as far as daily handle. But no these people ( owners trainers maybe even the handlers got greedy) no excuse for that to happen.
