    Galgos

    in Everything else Greyhound

    Posted

    I’ve lived with greyhounds and galgos and with the exception of one greyhound, they were all cat friendly. The greyhound who wasn’t learned to tolerate the cat after months of work. The most active was a greyhound, the least active a galgo. They all enjoyed jumping. As others have said, generalizations aren’t always fact. Maybe you can find a dog that was fostered with cats,

    The future for adoption groups

    I don't understand this comment.  But since it is likely to lead someplace against the TOS, I guess I will just leave it alone.

    We've been getting wonderful dogs from the Midwest farms that are closing, but that source won't be available forever.  And, like I stated, we have more applications than we can find dogs for right now.  It's simply too expensive to haul NGA dogs all the way from the southeast to the northwest.  We've already had to increase the adoption fee to try and offset the additional cost.  So our group GPA-NW, Greyhound Pets Inc in Washington, GPA-Greater Northwest in Montana, and several western Canadian groups are having to find dogs wherever we can.  For some, it's Spanish galgos.  For others, it's Irish imports.  For others, it's the cross-bred dogs from underground racing/hunting in the upper midwest.  They are all dogs that need real, actual, rescuing from very difficult situations, but they aren't NGA greyhounds.

    There are also many great groups that are just having to shut down.  It's too bad, both for the breed and for those who love them.

    Obviously you’ve never seen the list of “approved” adoption groups.
