Some call them Greyhounds, speed hounds, hunting dogs and many other names, but they are all the same. The difference is in the bloodline. Some have too much speed, less stamina while the opposite is also possible (more stamina less speed). It all depends on what you breed your dogs to hunt and also the hunting terrain.We all love them the same, yet there are many unaswered questions about the sport. I will leave that to the expert or animal rights associations before I burn my fingers. These dogs make very good pets. They need a lot of love like any other pet, more training and a lot of running space.
I dont think there is any abuse on the animals when you use them for hunting, but that is my own opinion as these animals are bred or born to hunt. What they hunt is a topic for another day. Hunting is like any other sport, like your polo and horse racing, not sure if the horse is being abused there.
The only worrying factor is how the hunters look or take care of the animals during and after their hunting years. But the few that I have seen, love their animals. I love mine and I always encourage the same amongst the guys who have them. We take them to the vet, feed them quality food and house them in clean warm shelters all the time.
I do not believe in breeding greyhounds as it is very expensive especially when you know what you are doing. I seem to differ with most guys on this one because all of us think our dogs are the best and so we breed from them and the puppies end up in shelters. This is one gospel I wish to spread amongst the guys.
This is an open topic, Id like to get your input so as to educate our brothers as far as this precious breed is concerned.
I have attached pictures of my two runners, fricky(black) and greyhound(brindle)
