Guest NSGREY Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Please welcome our newest member to our crazy family! Mr Deacon (CTW DEACON) who's a 4 year old firecracker and the tallest of the 3 greyhounds we have been blessed with OO...he can look out my front window without climbing up! He's a bounceback but is very sweet and loves the ladies! I mean REALLY loves the ladies so he probably thinks he's died and gone to heaven because he has 4 girlies to love on in our house. Poor hubby has once again ranked low on the totem pole with his one male compadre but Deacon loves on him sometimes too, after all hubby feeds him too!

Guest EmmettsMom Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Welcome home Deacon!! I thought he had some Gable Dodge in him, he has the face! Johnny is also tall and a lover. Gotta get my pics back up so you can see. My Emmett (racing name JNs Steelers) is sired from Gable Dodge (although he looks almost nothing like him)... We just adopted him and I was trying to look into his pedigree...from what I can tell Gable Dodge passed away almost 10 years ago, but Emmett was born in 2014. Is it common in greyhound breeding to continue the lineage after a sire has passed? Edited October 4, 2017 by EmmettsMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmettobug Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yes, unlike horse racing, artificial insemination is allowed. Since Gable Dodge was such a great racer, and has produced great offspring (my boy included ), they keep using him. Quote Current Crew: Gino-Gene-Eugene!

Since Gable Dodge was such a great racer, and has produced great offspring (my boy included ), they keep using him. Wow! I saw on GD that Gable Dodge has sired over 11,000 pups but I thought that had to be a typo.....guess not. Emmett was not a great runner, but lucky for me because they retired him just a few days after his 3rd birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
Guest NSGREY Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Thank you! He's showing us a bit more of his personality but he's still a mama's boy and he is currently competing with Adora over the new Slumberball. I do not know what I was thinking when I ordered only one...lol! I'm in contact with the adopter of one of his brothers so that has been nice to see his brother and he hear some of his traits in comparison to Deacon.

GreytNut Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 That's a Gable Dodge descendant or I'm a purple people eater. He looks just like our first greyhound Argus. Sounds like you're going to be having a second Slumberball joining the family as well? Congrats, Deacon is gorgeous!
