I have a retired racer and up until about two monthes ago she was doing fine but she suddenly started collapsing, her hind legs keep giving way. My vet says this is due to injuries obtained whilst racing. She has always been a clean dog and has chosen my leather settee as her bed. She is not going to get any better, I am now just hanging on only for the fact that at the moment she is not in pain. As soon as point arrives where she is in pain then I will have her take the trip over the Rainbow Bridge. These racing tracks should be baned from holding races, they should make the tracks straight, as I think they are in Denmark where they dote on there dogs.

I have never been to a greyhound race but I do know people who have adopted retired race dogs. I thought the dogs would be nut cases. I couldn’t have been more wrong if I tried. according to the people who adopted the dogs. They claimed they were couch hogs. Good with children. Just happy to have a good home, I guess. My vet had one loose in his office at all times. He used it as a donor dog. It lived a good life but died of bone cancer. Blood donor that is. I know many people that breed and show dogs that cul the litters at birth or shortly after. How could they tell at that age if it would be a show dog? Even if it wasn’t show quality I’m sure there would have been people that would have loved to have one for a pet.
