Some groups will not adopt out a puppy to someone without sight hound or greyhound experience. They are baby landsharks.

You have found yourself the most perfect friend and family member. Greyhounds are amazing dogs and I have been blessed with 4 of them. Please come here if you need advice or just want to share stories and photos. Welcome to the greyhound cult. Your life will never be the same and I mean this in the best way possible.

So sorry you had to say goodbye. He sure was a handsome boy. Run free sweet boy.

I am so sorry you had to say goodbye. Broodies are amazing. I had one for 4 wonderful years. You gave her a beautiful ending to her life's story. Run free sweet Momma.

Cold butts!!

You gave her a fabulous life, you can see the joy in her eyes. Run free sweet girl, run free of a body that was failing you. I am sorry you had to say goodbye.

Winnie, I wouldn't say discouraged I would say banned from getting any dogs in the US.

Which one of the products from here did you buy?

i worked with the group that took in all of the Greymeadow hounds from the Butlers. Heard a lot of good things about their farm. My first two greyhounds were Grey's Island Mocha and Greys Pitch Black.

Our group has helped bring in a number of galgos from Spain last year. We also have had some lurchers come into our group. I believe we are still working out the details to bring Irish and English retired racers to the US as well. Things in England and Ireland are pretty bad for the greyhounds. Many end up in other countries with no animal welfare laws. After they are used up they are sent to wild life parks to be killed by cheetahs and other big cats or to the dog meat trade.

Maybe call or e-mail the distributer in the US and see if they have any suggestions. Hopefully Ina can help you.

My current is about 77 pounds. My first boy Luka was always around 57. Never put on any weight no matter how many sandwich cookies he ate.

I have been a huge fan of Olewo Carrots for over 5 years. My hounds love it and their poops are so much firmer and easier to pick up. Pumpkin never really worked with my hounds. I recommend Olewo so much that the company gave me 50 pounds to use as samples. It is great to suggest this for new adopters. New hounds always seem to have soft poop issues.

What a lovely tribute to a very special girl. She touched a lot of lives and that is a sign of a life well lived. To all who loved her and was touched by her loving heart I am sorry you had to say goodbye.

Love to hear this and all the wonderful photos. What a special girl. Congratulations!
