I know I have not been on this board in a while, but I thought of it immediately when what seems to be a tatooed smooth-coated Hancock Lurcher (blue) has turned up in a pound in Ireland. Ordinarily I mainly save greyhounds, but I have to make a fast decision in the next few hours to take this...

living not too far from Thurles, I have asked people the same thing about pronunciation... I was told the Th is pronounced somewhere between a T and a Th sound. And with that in mind, it is pronounced THUR less 20,000 leaving for pet homes every year? Being involved in greyhound rescue...

It sounds to me like you need a nice quiet "first-time" greyhound. I do greyhound rescue in Ireland and refer to my home as sanctuary, as the dogs get exposed to a home environment. I am very careful about adoptions as I want them to work well and not have to take the dog back due to an...

something to think about: if you have pups with demodex, you know this means they have weak immune systems. You can bathe them, put drops on them, dose them with everything under the sun - however, none of this will help their immune systems. You would essentially be treating pups who have...

Thanks Macha - that article you refer to is written by the same person I have been in contact with regarding Valentine's heritage! In fact, when I first reliazed Josef was a sloughi, I contacted her then as well, and she was just great, though had never dealt with a feral sloughi before. Abused...

Yes, I still have Josef. I wonder if sloughis hav a bad reputation for some reason, or if there are simply not enough people out there interested in one - I just don't know. One person was very interested, in fact, the only person in Ireland to own a registered sloughi. But he had a strict...

here is a photo pf Valentine taken today:

Thanks Kirsty and Clairej, very nice of you. Will send a pm. I think she will grow to about 28 inches, just like Maeve the white greyhound in the photo. You know, Claire, I had Tiny in my care when he was 5 months old, and he was not as big as she is. I will send some of the photos to a...

Kirsty - First of all, thank you for your thought on the other thread (Claire too) about the whip-around -I would accept all and any donations towards her upkeep, as I only have support money for greyhounds. I could not let her get put to sleep, she seemed to have such a sloughi-saluki...

Rather than "introducing" two dogs new to each other - face-to-face - just take them for a walk together. Your new dog MUST love walks, yes? Don't "introduce" them - just keep walking forward, at first a bit apart, and then a bit closer, then far apart again, then closer. etc. She will...

photos of the Dublin pound girl are now in the Lurchers section...

On another thread I mentioned there was a dog in Dublin pound which I thought was part or all sloughi. I pulled out all the stops to get her out of there within hours of her being PTS. She arrived here a few nights ago when it was windy and rainy....a five month old puppy! She is doing great...

No problem! People who are not "into" sloughi usually guess that he is part greyhound and part saluki. Yes, I would like Josef to find a home soon too! He is really ready for it.

It may well be a sloughi. They could not take extra photos but from the description - "greyhoundy" body, end of the tail is curled, the right kind of ears, the right colouring. that with the first photo I saw is looking good...they said she has green eyes, too! Odd! She is extremely thin, has...

You are all very kind! I am waiting for some additional photos so we can determine if she is sloughi or not. In the meantime, I learned a long time ago to never refuse help when you need it!! However, let's wait a bit and see if some additional photos come in, as well as some additional...

sorry! something odd happened while I was trying to edit the above....what I wanted to edit in was this: Some sloughis do have the exaggerated deep rib cage, though Josef's is just moderate. I have seen several champoin sloughis without the exaggerated look, so I think who gets pinned at a dog...

The woman's breeding stock was all British/North African, to my knowledge. She was one of the founding members,one of the first people to be breeding sloughis. Then it got "a little out of control", though many club members looked the other way at her abuse and neglect - go to the Bath Cats and...

I am trying to find the funding needed to care for her upkeep and medical. It might be coming. I will find out in a few minutes if they insist on putting her down today. Here is Josef again, in a typical sleeping position - never mind that there are thick doggy duvets on the kitchen floor! No...

No good news for Josef yet. One man was interested in him - he owns the only registered sloughi in Ireland - but he keeps her very confined, which Josef would never adjust to...by that I mean she is either in the house, or outside in a 30x40ft concrete yard with 6 ft high fencing, or getting...

a very pretty cat friendly greyhound girl is arriving to one of the Greyhound Rescue West of England branches tomorrow. Her name is Bunny. She is white with a grey patch on her eye. Her owner is moving back to the US and could not take back all her dogs with her. If you find Bunny on one of the...
