Sorry, Dick. This just came as an insult to injury. The last time I updated a page on G-D was when we adopted Rufus in July 2015. We had to put him down today, and I find I can’t say he’s dead without becoming “a financial member” or having a third party do it because by not paying gelt I’m not trustworthy enough. I’m not trying to edit his pedigree, or otherwise deface the site.

 

I’m upset, I’m hurting, and I should probably stop before I say something that will get me flagged. I appreciate your offer.

Rules today are made to stop the 1/2 of 1 percent bad people from doing what the other 99.5 percent would never think of doing.

 

I'm sorry for your loss and when you are ready either post here or send me a PM with what you want put on your pups G-D page.

[dmdsmoxie]

I like to bring this thread to the top every few months since there are always new members that don't know this can be done or old members that forgot about it.

Just a reminder that I, and a few others on G-D, can edit your pups G-D page. There is now a field for adopted owner and pet name. There is also a bereavement section where we can add the date of death and a couple of sentences if you wish.

 

Plus, up to three pictures can be posted on the G-D forum and if you want pictures posted just add them to this thread. G-D added a watermark to the pictures because pictures were being taken from G-D without the owners or G-D's permission. You still own your pictures, but G-D will go after people that steal pictures from their site.

 

Post whatever information you want added to this thread and I or someone will add it.

[Dad2Paisley]

Thanks for the post.

[Cheryl2]

I can edit dogs but I am so not good with pictures.  I'm amazed I got photos up on my own dogs.

[dmdsmoxie]

Greyhound-Data has added some new fields and if anyone wants me, or someone on GT to edit their dogs G-D page please post the information here. If anyone wants to add pictures just post them here.

The retired with owner is new, but wouldn't apply for people here unless they owned the dog as a racer.

Adoption group is new.

Adopted owners email is new.  Some people want to try and connect with people that have siblings.

Year of passing is new and the whole date can be entered.

Thanks again!

I'm unable to login to GD. It says - Sorry, but I can find no account with this credentials!.  

I've requested a new password twice but get no answer.  Any tips?

Try again in the morning as sometimes it is just the website having a problem.  If you still can't login let me know and I will notify them.  Are you verified?

I tried again to get a new password although I don't understand why it won't take my usual one. Anyway, I'll let you know how it goes.

What does being verified mean?

Still no response for a new email. Still cannot login. However, I can do a dog search and was able to see what you added to my girls' pages.  Weird.

A few years ago there were people wrecking havoc on G-D.  Pedigrees were being changed for one and people were spending a lot of time correcting this along with other problems. Some people having multiple identities was another.  The owners of G-D decided people were going to have to get verified by sending them a form of identification like your license. While some people objected to this that is the way it is.

I think, but am not positive, if you aren't verified you can still see everything on G-D, but can't post in the forum.

Makes perfect sense. Saints paying for sinners. <sigh>

Exactly.  At one time everyone could enter a pedigree and edit on G-D.  This made it easy for an adopter to post pictures and put something in the comment box. When the changes occurred there were a lot of complaints, but people didn't realize the chaos that happened that forced these changes.

As you stated, Saints paying for sinners. <sigh>, and it also made it more time consuming  for some.  Every day Ilse and Werner get a list of new pedigrees, changes made to existing pedigrees and new pictures added. They go through these additions and changes to make sure they are all legit.

Every so often I'll get an email from Ilse asking if some dog from the U.S. was sent to Ireland or Australia because the land of standing was change. The answer is almost always no because all that was sent to the country is semen.  The dog is still standing in the U.S.

Dick, I lost my girl, Lola, today - AMF Won't Forget. Can you please add her d.o.d. and photo to G-D? Thank you.

[dmdsmoxie]

Irene,

Done and I'm very sorry to hear about Lola.

Hi Dick, my name is Ellen and I wondered if you would mind posting some info on greyhound data for me when you have time? The photo is of my beloved hound, racing name Buddy Molly, pet name Buddy. He has adopted Dan and Ellen Haydon as his human companions. 

Thanks in advance,

ellen

Thanks, I’m trying to reduce the size of some of my photos so I can upload more. It’s great to see a photo of his sister on there!

Hi, Dick! 

What does this mean?    Bmpd & Coll 1st Tn        Bumped and Collided 1st Turn?    If so, is there any way to know if the dog was injured? I'm looking at the racing history of Ottawa, a dog we are looking into adopting.

Hi Irene,

Bumped and collided in this case probably means the same thing.  The chartwriter doesn't usually put bumped and bumped if a dog was bumped and then bumped into another dog. I just looked at Ottawa's lines to see if there was any break in his lines.  there were two breaks, but he only missed one start so whatever the reason for him missing the starts it doesn't sound serious.  My guess is whatever kept him out the first start is what kept him out the second because he missed a start, ran and won the race and then missed another start.

Cheryl can probably tell you better than I can, but every dog the day after a race is gone over from head to toe. The trainer is making sure there are no apparent injuries. This is just a precaution since the dog can't say my back leg is a little sore and is walking fine.

If you look at Nov. 17, 2018 you can see there is a little gap in the dates, he runs and wins and another little gap in the dates.

The last break in his lines is on June 7th and he doesn't run a graded race again for a month. I knew he had to officially school to run again so I checked trackinfo since they show schooling race lines and he officially schooled on June 23 and June 30th. To officially school on the 23rd the trained would have morning schooled him once or twice before the 23rd. So he was not running for maybe two weeks not a month.

He only ran two races and was retired. Nothing bad from those two races that stands out.

Career ending injuries are something people think of as being a catastrophic injury when in many cases it is a minor injury and the age of the dog that really makes a trainer say it is time. 

If a dog break a toe at two years old the dog is usually back racing in seven or eight weeks. If a dog breaks a toe at 3 or 3 1/2 the trainer or owner may retire that dog instead of bringing him back to race.

I would ask the adoption group if they know what the injury was just so you know, but from the dogs lines I see nothing bad.

Dick is right.  They are gone over after every race.  A lot of trainers will rub them down with liniment just to ease any minor muscle soreness.  Everything from ultrasound massages to whirlpools are used.  Most will go over the dog the day of the race also, just to make sure and if there's a problem you can scratch them out of the race.  They don't just sit for several days between races, that's just asking for major problems.  Usually they're sprinted or walked several times between race days to keep them loose.  There are times too when you just pull a dog and put him through some morning schooling just to get him on the lure without 7 other dogs getting in his way to re-hone his focus.

Thanks, Dick and Cheryl.  I always go over the dog's history before I adopt so I know what to expect. Dick, he ran 2 races? I read 102. That sounds like a lot. Am I misinterpreting the data?  Was his last race on July 13 of this year?  This stuff fascinates me!
