Over the years I came to realize that greyhounds never get sick on things they managed to requirer ;-) Dog treats, a plate full of pancakes, half a cheesecake, chocolate, bread...

If your dog has giardia, or you suspect it, I can recomment this homemade brew 1 packet buttermilk 3 spoonfull basil 3 spoonfull thyme 3 spoonfull oregano mix it and keep it in the fridge for 24 hours, than strain it. After that you give your dog 3 times a day 1 spoonfull of the brew until it is empty. After that you have to wait for 1 week and repeat it until poop is okay again.

Thank you very much for the warm welcome. It is very interesting to read about how greyhounds live in other countries, for example I do not know anyone who has a crate at home for their grey, not even in their car. I guess, everything is a bit smaller here.

And this is Paddy aka Zippy Mullane. His foster mum, a friend of mine, called me one day and asked me, if I wanted a third dog. I went for just a look, he captured my heart and I took him home. She wanted to keep him at her home, but he always raced her husband on the way to the fridge and always won. Husband was not amused. My luck - Paddy is a funny hound, who loves to cuddle and is friendly to everyone, including small and fluffy dogs.

Okay, I give it a try. This is a picture of Colin aka Dessie's Hero (left) and Andy aka Riot Officer in our garden. I hope I do it right. If it is wrong please excuse me. I'm trying my best. My hounds are from Ireland, because we do not have a racing industry in Germany. It ist against the law to bet on dogs and therefor the greyhounds here live like every other breed of dogs with their owners at home. Sighthound owners are known for spoiling their dogs, like letting them sleep on the sofa, choosing the new car for enough room for all their dogs and spending money on things their dogs need, like new collars, leashes, coats and so on. I guess we are the same where ever we live.

Hallo, we are new here. We are my three sweet irish ex-racers and me, their devoted greyhound-mum. Since we live in Germany please excuse my grammar and spelling, because I'm not a native speaker. In my home there are Colin (10), Andy (9) and Paddy (6), two black and one blue grey. I'm going to post some photos, as soon as I have learned how to do it.
