Its a pleasure, you have done nothing though in actual fact have you, as is clear from the "missed" deadlines, untrue links, links to vidoes of people who lied about this that and t'other, why videos were removed, alleged threats, the list goes on.

Now, you carry on with your celebrations, my trainer friend has just celebrated the birth of 11 Greyhound puppies, and I must go see them.

Dogs, as all animals are naturally competitive. My dogs get a hundred times more excited at the track than they do at going up the gallop, so explain that...

Would you call this overweight for a greyhound?

P.s Vid is still buffering!

It's going now - 10% of all athletes are probably carrying injuries whether human, canine or equine. When he twisted the greyhounds foot, it yelped... why do they not yelp or go lame on the track if their leg truly does bend to that extremity? Why do these injuries not show up when we use methods such as Dr Richard Gannons the day following the race?

Regardless of the above, the video shows no evidence of racing dogs sustaining an injury that no pet dog could sustain.

Exactly, a dog is a dog is a dog, and an injury is simply that, regardless of were the dog got it. and the treatment will be the same whether the dog is a racing greyhound or pet..

And the expertize of the vet, will matter not where he gained it...as he is treating an injury to ligament/joint/ of a dog!!!

They sound gorgeous, now just make sure that any blues (or even worse, blue and white ones) are great racers, and don't need to go into any pets homes wont you
