Any greyhound owners out there want to share a little bit about your hound? I just love those greyhounds!!?

Here's a little about our herd: 2 boys (Slim %26 Duke-Slim is 6 and Duke is 4. Slim is a red, and Duke is a brindle-Duke is our newest arrival-just adopted from rescues couple weeks ago) Breeze is our little girl princess (4 years old Black %26 White-she definately is a princess-SPOILED, SPOILED, SPOILED. We do have a 4th member to the herd(we kinda slipped and went out of the hound phase) %26 rescued a little boy chihuahua "Chico" whose owner had died. That's our herd-I'd love to hear about anyone else's greyhounds!!! (We also have 2 cockatiels and fish)

I grew up with a retired greyhound, she was the sweetest dog! She was retired because she was gunshy and didn't do well at the starting blocks. I loved to watch her run, she used to get into these moods and run circles around the outside of the house. Unfortunatley, she passed away almost 7 years ago now. I miss her, she was a great dog to have growing up!
i currently have three greyhounds ranging from 50-75 pounds. we are trying to get them as fat as possible before eating them.
i love to see other people who also enjoy eating the tastiest breed of dog.
also incase you have kids dont name them, then they get to attached and then they start to cry when they watch you drown the dogs... too much crying then you have to beat them. it just gets to messy...
i have a retied racer and he is the coolest his name is Bentley
I've had a beagle for two years and we just adopted a Grey in March, her name is Emma. Her racing name was Tubros Queen and boy is she the Queen of everything. She has the most amazing golden eyes with a brindle coat. She also has a funny curl to her tail. At greyhound gatherings we can always pick her out of the crowd by her curly tail. She has such a personality and its so funny how the two crave our attention like they don't get enough. Both my girls are spoiled rotten! Its very interesting when we go on walks b/c the beagle has her nose to the ground tracking everything she can while the Grey has her ears up and watches everything that goes by. You can definitely tell the differences between the sight hounds and scent hounds. Very interesting.
I used to train greyhounds and i worked for a greyhound adoption program. It was a great job, but most of the time it was heart breaking. I ended up quitting the training job, but continued to work for, the adoption program and that year we adopted out over three hundred greyhounds. We interviewed people, just like they were adopting a child.
