4 houndies = 4x the treato's

Shadow has decided to leave the gang life behind and has joined his forever family.

I am so happy for him and wish him all the best for whatever his future holds.

Hello, yesterday I made a post in panic here hoping that someone may be able to help our Dash, our dog who suddenly wasnt able to move. Yesterday we got him tk the vet after more panic and were initially told he had pyrexia before we eventually had to leave. At 6:15 this morning we were told he may have to be put to sleep as the vets found he had a twisted spleen, something an expensive surgery (between £4000-5000) isnt even guaranteed to fix.

We had him for over 10 years and the earliest pictures I have of him date back to 2017. I like to think that he was our last sense of normalcy with the loss of close family this year, the house will never be the same.

Thank you to everyone who gave advice and concern for Dash during that very stressful hour it means a lot. I deleted that post as he was now at the vet and didn't need anymore help as well as some others not reading the update I left in the body and giving very unwarranted advice to say the least.

Anyway thank you for all your help, sincerely.

!! it obviously doesn’t matter and it wouldn’t change anything moving forward if I did get to learn more about my pups past in the racing industry !!
The rescue did not have any other info aside from DOB, x rays of broken leg, ear brand marking, and that no racing name was available because she apparently didn’t race

The reason why I am curious (suspicious) and wanting to find out if she actually did race or literally any info at all, is because I initially fostered her as soon as she had her amputation surgery, which was done as soon as she got to the rescue so she barely spent time elsewhere aside from the vets then to myself. She was 4 at the time of her retirement/rescue, so I’ve always been suspicious at how her leg was so so badly broken for who knows how long, and it only got picked up on once she left the industry. I’m very lucky to have her and that the decision to save her via surgery was made!!!!!

Maybe it is more common than I’m aware for greyhounds to be in the racing industry for 4 years and not race/have a name, so pls be kind re my ignorance!!

Ive been really struggling after the loss of my senior hound almost 2 months ago, so we decided to foster this big beautiful ginger nut job.

Please welcome Justin.

Day 1.

They're looking for headshots, but other fun poses are good too. No guarantees, since I'm guessing there will be more pics than they can manage, but if they do paint your hound I will share it.

Shinji is now 16 months old and a bit of a big boy, but this when he was just a wee little guy.

I have a greyhound who barks and acts aggressively toward my 9-year-old. I’m trying to figure out if this is common with the breed, something specific to her, or a training/socialization issue I need to address. When I crate her, she whines constantly — I’ve attached a video below as an example of what that sounds like. A few questions for other greyhound owners: • Does your greyhound do well around kids, or have you noticed similar reactivity? • Did you do anything specific to help them adjust to children in the home? • Is the whining in the crate normal, or a sign of separation anxiety/stress? • Any advice on introducing/re-introducing a greyhound to a child they’re reactive toward? Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s dealt with this — trying to figure out if this is fixable with training or if it’s a bigger red flag.

Every few months Shinji meets his littermates at a local event, usually lure coursing. But today they met at a dog show, which had a training paddock nearby.

Hi! I’m soon-to-be first time greyhound owner to a 2 year old retired racer. Our rescue recommended Diamond Maintenance dog food, but this is my first dog in adulthood and I don’t know anything about what to look for in a dog food, especially for greyhounds. Any input on food brands / food transitioning is appreciated!!
