Why does the Trap 6 Dog at Greyhound Races wear a Striped Jacket? I went to the greyhound races tonight. How come the jacket the trap 6 dog wears is black and white striped whereas the jackets the dogs in traps 1-5 wear are single block colours (trap one is just red, two is blue and so on)? Is there a reason for this?

Dog lovers, I bet greyhound breeders are more guilty of animal cruelty than dog fighters? You know greyhound racing is a somewhat popular sport and you know greyhound dog breeders do it for the money so they select the ones to keep and what do you think they do with the ones that don't measure up. And worse, what do you think they do to the campions that win all the dog races after that dog gets older? I like animals but I really wonder if a dog is worth a man's life? greyhound mummy I did not mean the post to be offensive but it is in fact true. I lived in an area that greyhound racing was popular and there was an investigative tv news show on this topic and it is true that greyhound breeders do it for business reasons and it true they kill their dogs generally speaking when the dogs are no longer useful. Just by using your imagination you know it is true because they must go through many many litters a year and many dogs trained to be runners and a few champions and on with the next cycle and they do kill their dogs. I am sorry if this offends you but that doesn't make it any less true ok!

Is this just an urban legend about dog races or is it true? I'm getting ready to go to my first Greyhound race. A friend of mine told me that when betting on greyhounds at the races, look for the dog that takes a bowel movement just before the race. This dog will be the likely winner. (Unless more than one dog does this, I assume) This just sounds like BS to me(Or shoulc I say DS). But, says lots of people know this and it works. Anyone know if there is any truth to this?

What happens between a greyhound's puppy hood to a maiden race? What does the dog go through? I was told by a friend when I asked a parent to take me to a greyhound race that the practices of greyhound racing was very cruel. I looked it up, and it seems that this is true. Now, I have two questions. 1) It seems very vague about what happens before a dog's first race. What kind of training does the dog go through? Is it cruel training? 2) Is greyhound racing itself cruel in your opinion. Thank you for any information you can provide me.

How do you feel about Greyhound Races? I adopted a "retired" Greyhound and has been the Greatest Dog I ever had... And, I had many of them. He was like a cat, hugging me with his whole body. So protective of me and so very Loving! Why then Can't We Have them as pets and not for racing?

What is the difference between horse racing, dog racing, deer hunting and ....Micheal Vick's case? Ok...I have anaylized Mike Vick's case and other animal sporting events. Government sanctioned animal sports have been in place for decades and the animal rights people have had been quiet until now. First horse racing. These animals are injected with steriods and overburdened to win races. There is money bet on their outcome. If they seriously break a leg, then they are put to sleep. Next is dog racing...Greyhounds...Big money is wagered on their outcome. These animals are bred for racing. They are injected with dangerous steriods. If they lose their competitive edge or get injured, then they are thrown to a shitty kennel and are forgotten. Some are even put to sleep. Finally....Deer Hunting...This sport pisses me off. How can some Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia or West Virginia red neck go and blow defenseless bambi's brains out and get to hang the head on the wall? They seldom eat the animal. Where are the animal rights activists for this?

Who are the best racing dog rescue groups AND greyhound racers in the Sarasota area? I'm writing an article for my college's newspaper about greyhound racing in Sarasota (the Sarasota Kennel Club and its track are here). Of course, the article is inherently going to be kind of sad and will, to many people, make greyhound racing look "bad," but I understand that I need to get information from both sides of the issue. I would like to talk to someone involved in greyhound racing as well as someone involved in greyhound rescue. Which are the best organizations for these two topics? And if possible, who are the best people to talk to? And would I be allowed to take pictures? I wanted to ask beforehand because if I called up, told them who I was, and did anything wrong, it would make my school look bad. I just need to get to know my subjects before I contact them, or else I might offend or piss them off. Thanks in advance!

What is Horse breeding? What is Dog Breeding? Why can't these same principles apply to Humans? If you want a fast horse your breed a thoroughbred, if you want a work horse you breed a belgian or a quarter horse, etc... If you want a hunting dog you get a pointer, if you want a sheperd you get a collie, if you want a racing dog you get a greyhound, fighting dog pitbull, guard dog german sheparp or rottie etc... Even though the different breeds CAN do what the other breeds do they will not be as effective at it. So why can these same principles apply to humans? Are fair people more intelligent than non whites? are darker skin people more athletic/powerful than whites? Who is smarter a border collie or a rotweiller? Who is more powerful the collie or the to rottie? Before you start bashing me, I"m in an hispanic male. So I'm a mix of everything..lol What do you think, seriously? Is it possible that some races are superior at some things than others? After all we are part of the animal kingdom are we not?

Does anyone know the real facts about the greyhound dogs at the Dairyland Racetrack in? Kenosha, WI?

How long can Valley Fever stay dormant in a greyhound before causing real heath problems? My greyhound raced in Arizona but has live in BC with us for 5 almost 6 years. She has always had minor coughing and lameness due to what we thought was arthritis. In November of 2006 she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (bone cancer). OS tends to take dogs quickly and we opted for pain management only but now 9 months later she has a large tumor in her right leg and is sometimes completely lame and other times looks fine and runs full speed. She eats well and most of the time is a happy dog. Someone has suggested this could be Valley Fever but is it possible almost 6 years later? Vets up here do not know of Vallet fever so i am trying to do research before bringing this possibility to them.

Do you have an ex racing greyhound? If you do, then you might be sympathetic towards this.

How can I adopt a dog from another owner in an animal clinic setting? I have witnessed so many greyhound racing dogs get put to sleep just because they have a broken leg, and because the owner doesn't want to spend the time and money to help them regain health.

Is adopting a retired racing greyhound a good idea? My husband and I have just moved into a house with a 1/3 of an acre backyard. We would love to get a dog and I have heard greyt things about greyhounds. The cons for a dog being a part of our home would be that we have a cat and my husband and I work between 8-10 hours on most weekdays. Is a greyhound a good match?

Greyhound dog advice? My husband & I have been married for almost 2 years & have no children (not for another 7 or 8 years) but we do have a cat. We were interested in getting a dog, & we have been researching Greyhounds for quite some time. I know that they do tend to have the instinct to chase (due to their racing background) but many are cat tolerable. I have a few questions for grey owners: Our cat is 2 years old, 16 lbs and pretty much docile, but at times runs through the house & wants to play. I used to dog sit, & she has been with 2 Jack Russels, an Airedale & a Dachshund on many occasions & pretty much stays away from them. Do you think our cat will be receptive to a greyhound & vice versa? (I would separate them during the day when we're at work just to make sure.) We live in an apt (1145 sq. ft.) & live next door to a high school with a running track. Would this work for exercise if the grey is kept on a leash & is taken out quite a few times a day? Do you think a grey would be right for us?

Have you people really never heard of tattoo'ing a dog? I asked the question about getting mine tattooed and got some fairly disturbing answers. First of all, of COURSE she always has her collars and tags on---I thought that part would be implied, but evidently not. Collars can be removed or fall off. (duh!) And tattoos on dogs are certainly not insane.....many show dogs, police search and rescue dogs, racing greyhounds, hunting dogs, and even dogs adopted from some pounds are often tattooed. I would not brand my dog (as one poster suggested) because THAT is insane. I had my horse freeze-branded because I wanted a visible deterrent for thieves, but I don't intend to do that to my 10-pound Dachshund. I want her to have the same type of tattoo as many other dogs have for the purpose of identification should she become stolen or lost. Micro chips are not 100% fool-proof because not all scanners are compatible. So, if you've never heard of dog tattoos, don't be so quick to squash the person asking the question. So....one more time....does the vet do this or do I have to take her to a specialist? If you don't know the answer, please do a bit of thinking before commenting. It's a virtually painless procedure, less than the large-bore needle used to insert the micro-chip, so spare me the comments about cruelty. I DID get some good answers too and, for those, I am thankful. I just wish some people would use a little common sense before commenting. V....would you like someone to "spay" you against your will? I didnt think so....but sometimes it's neccesary. Valerie....because if she's lost and her collar is off, what good would it for me to post LOST signs that say "red Dachshund----looks like all other red Dachshunds"...? Bex....I keep asking (only twice) because I dont believe I have to settle for uneducated and belittling answers. Also I dont want opinions....I asked for answers. There's a difference.

Would Mike Vick be treated the same if these dogs were greyhounds? Michael Vick is going to spend time in prison for cruelty to dogs. However, isn't it true that, after greyhounds are done racing and breeding, they get put down as well? Greyhounds aren't even allowed to be adopted out to families because breeders are concerned those dogs will breed new race dogs. In fact, if you own a greyhound and the original owner finds out, they can come pick up your dog and kill him. What's with the double standard?

how do i let my new dog know I am the pack leader? She is 4 yrs old and has never really lived in a home? she is a retired racing greyhound. she is a very good dog so far and i want her to stay that way how do i re enforce good behaviors and change bad ones...for example how do i teach her to stay off of the furniture and to use her dog bed?

A greyhound trainer I know said that everyone uses drugs and steroids on thier dogs and unless I do the same,I will never win any races,is it true?

How much money is a 50 lb sack of dog food? How much money is a 50 lb sack of dry Purina dog food at Sam's club? what are the ingredients? i want to know because my family may get a retired racing greyhound. Excuse me, but my dad had a German Shepherd/Collie mix when he was a kid, and the dog was REALLY healthy. the only time he got sick was when he got carsick. also, a friend of mine feeds here dogs Purina, and the only time they got sick was when they caught kennel cough when being boarded while their owners were on vacation.

What do you think about Greyhound racing? I've heard all the hype. But I'm curious how educated people feel on this? Is it really a terrible sport for the dogs? The horse people don't condemn horse racing (that I've heard). Is it the PETA people turning legitimate businesspeople into the spawn of Satan? Did a few bad apples spoil the reputation of everyone? Cat: I totally agree with you and I appreciate that you didn't just repeat the facts that may or may not be exaggerated propaganda (like they torture and shoot the dogs???). I love lure coursing and I know the Greyhounds love to run... but I don't think anyone educated has a problem with Greyhounds running. It's how the treat and care for the dogs. That's what I'm unsure about. The dogs won't win unless they're treated well... but what about the dogs that are no longer needed? I dunno. Caninelegion: Thanks for your answer. Sounds like you have some knowledge about this. Do you know how I can find out about the "industry responding positively to the criticism"? I don't know enough about Greyhound racing to know the first place to look.

How do you feel about the Greyhound racing industry? In case you didnt know: The dogs stay in a small kennel on shredded newspaper all day unless they are running.

Many die every year by euthanasia simply because they could not run fast enough.

My elderly Mom and I live together (I will be walking, exercising, feeding, grooming, etc). I do work full time and my Mom will be alone with the dog for 9-10 hours a day/5 days per week. My biggest concerns are her being knocked down/tripped by a dog. Her mobility is limited/she is not too steady on her feet. We have owned dogs in the past but not for a few years (last dog died of old age four years ago). We don't want a dog that is too hyper or barky and from what I have read about greyhounds this should not be an issue. We have a large fenced yard with a 5 foot chainlink fence. I want a dog that keeps my Mom company during the day, barks if someone is at the door, and can go for walks in the evening so I have an exercise partner. I have pet birds but I plan on keeping the greyhound out of the room the birds are in and I plan to select one of the dogs the rescue calls "cat safe" for safety. Any thoughts/comments?

Need link to bizarre greyhound race.? I recall seeing a greyhound lead a race and stop to leave a deposit on track and still win the race!

It was on T.V. years ago.

Try to answer all 3 qns, not just 1 or 2. 1/ What is "Horse racing" in Italian? 2/ And what is "Greyhound (dog) racing" ? 3/ Are these popular in Italy Native/experienced speakers only, no machine translation. We are talking about the most common term for the SPORT - not literally 1 (or more than 1) horse racing !!
