PatricksMom Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I'm at the speciality clinic with Murphy and they would like to know where he may have lived. Am I right that Lincoln Park is/was in Rhode Island or is there more than one? http://www.greyhound-data.com/d?l=1205246 eta: Did this track close? His former owner (who bounced him) swears he came from Alabama, but the adoption group brings their dogs up from 2 tracks in Orlando, Florida.

Guest KennelMom Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 You would also need to know where the farm(s) were that he was born/raised/trained. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boopieface Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Lincoln has been closed for quite some time. Quote Aljo Atomic Kogo and DC Man of Steal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdsmoxie Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yep Lincoln is in RI. The track is closed, however the casino is open and called Twin River. Your pup ran all 35 or so races at Lincoln. He could have been raised anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF_in_Georgia Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) He was owned by Driven Racing, Inc. All I can find under that name with Google is motorsports companies (more than one, unfortunately). His littermates (not owned by Driven Racing) ran at Birmingham their entire careers, so I suppose some Alabama ties are possible. ETA: His littermates both started racing in Birmingham twomonths before he ran at Lincoln Park. Makes you wonder if he was in Birmingham, too, but not ready to run for some reason.

PatricksMom Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 You guys are amazing, thank you. I never cared too much about my dogs' racing careers, I never thought about it being a medical issue. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019).

Guest RMarie Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 For us new parents, how does the race history relate to medical issues? I'm confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Certain diseases are only found in or are more prevalent in certain locations. Valley Fever, for example.

KF_in_Georgia Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) RMarie, Different ticks live in different geographical areas. Other different local ailments (like Valley Fever, which is a Southwestern U.S. thing, Alabama Rot which is mostly--but not exclusively--Southeastern U.S.). For infections that could be tick borne, knowing which ticks are possible culprits is helpful. I've got two dogs that have never been out of the Southest,* so lyme disease would be very far down the suspect list for both my dogs. *ETA: As far as I know. I just remembered that Silver has a 30-month gap in her known history, and there's no telling where she was then.

kudzu Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 RMarie, it can be helpful when trying to determine the possible cause of some symptoms. The prevalence of some tick diseases & possible exposure to things like Valley Fever, etc. When trying to come up with a likely treatment when the cause is still unknown it helps to at least have an idea of what the dog might be more likely to have & what is a big long shot.

I know what you mean but that is sadly not true any more. Lyme disease is all too common in our area now. Know of several dogs who contracted Lyme without leaving the TN/AL/GA/SC area. BF got Lyme while in Georgia. I was also very surprised to find out RMSF is on the rise as well. My critter sitter & a friend's Great Dane both nearly died from RMSF before finally being diagnosed. For my critter sitter that was almost 10 years ago & she'd not been out of Georgia for months before that. Friend's Great Dane hadn't left their yard for a month or so before he got RMSF.

PatricksMom Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 For us new parents, how does the race history relate to medical issues? I'm confused. After today, I would encourage you to look this information up now, before you need it, maybe ask your vet to put it into their files, so it will be there if anything weird does come up. Of course with Murphy there will always be about a 4-5 year gap, since he was a double bounce, but since he stayed in SC for those homes, it's helpful to know what I can figure out about his pre-adoption life. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019). Godspeed Patrick (28 April 1999 - 5 August 2012), Murphy (23 June 2004 - 27 July 2013), Leo (1 May 2009 - 27 January 2020), and Henry (10 August 2010 - 7 August 2020), you were loved more than you can know.
