I can testify to this - Greyhounds make the best pets! Mine was an ex-racer and having never seen the inside of a house before took less than a day to work out how it all worked - no mess, no fuss!! She's the most laid back quiet, happy dog and she even gets on with the cat.

If you are thinking about a new dog do go and meet some you won't be disappointed!

Humans are such cruel creatures!!!! :rant: :rant: :rant:

I love greyhounds and one day will definitely rescue one...they are so loving and affectionate, WHY people do have to kill them! and WHY in such cruel ways..!?

Hope those REMOVED go to hell soon (please excuse my language, but reading such stuff makes me so so so angry!)

Yes I have heard this, they are "Galgos" in Spain and some of them are even thrown in to wells alive to starve to death.

you wont hear any disagreement from me kimwhippets - i have in the past lived with 2 of these beautiful, gentle, noble, silly creatures - i think they should be billed as the perfect city dogs, ideal for those of us without miles of fields for our daily walks (so long as we have comfy sofas and warm fires in the winter)

Anyone wishing to learn about the rescues in Spain should check out the website

www.Greyhoundsinneed.co.uk they work very hard and are always in need of support. Galgos are treated very badly. I am not sure but think a lot of Irish greyhounds are exported to race in Spain and to a terrible end when they are no longer required!
