Guest YLEKIOT Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 H from Büdingen Germany. I've been poking around for a while, but have decided to join in the fun. My family and I have two greys Charlie(5) and Cooper(5), both retired racers from Ireland. We have had Charlie for a year and Cooper about six months. Charlie was fostered and Cooper came strait from the track. Life with my guys may not always be easy but definitely worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greytpups Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Welcome to GT. We have an adoption group in Ontario that brings dogs over from Ireland. Hopefully more people will adopt them.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenEveBaz Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I can't see a picture, but welcome anyway! Charlie and Cooper are greyt names. Scout's Mom, speaking from a totally unexpert point of view, I think Irish hounds sometimes have relatively stockier builds and a higher proportion of bicolor markings than American racers. Wonder how they compare to Australian greys?

Guest YLEKIOT Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 They are considered different here in but as far as I can tell why. Charlie is little stockier more muscled and taller 31" 35 kg. Cooper is more sleek 29" 26 kg. Cooper was better on the track. We adopted them through Ab auf Sofa a really greyt organization here in Germany.

Guest YLEKIOT Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 They are considered different here (Irish Greyhounds, Greyhounds), but as far as I can tell no real reason why. Wow kinda mangled that one a bit. Welcome from CT! The smiles on your boys are fantastic! Excellent screen name Thanks, thought it fit always chasing the roadrunner (rabbit) but never catching it.
