Friends Greyhound injured and retired.
My friends Greyhound has had to be retired, he pulled up suddenly on his last race, and although appeared only a little lame, an x-ray the following morning showed a slight fractured hock. Thankfully he is making a super recovery at my friends home, where he will live the rest of his life as a pampered pooch!He won 23 races, 3 at A2 grade, 14 A1 grade and 6 open races, a fantastic dog.
Dawn.

I see so many local ads (as we have a big racetrack here in Sheffield) for people selling retired greyhounds it's nice to hear of someone actually taking responsibility!
wishing him a speedy recovery!

I too am so pleased to hear of a retired racing greyhound with an owner who is prepared to pamper the dog and look after it in its retirement. Nice for once to have a good outcome for this much maligned breed.

Good luck to him
PS The kennel owner where my dogs go during my working days has just acquired a greyhound puppy, seen by the breeders to have zero potential as a racer so a "cast off". He is absolutely adorable, Polo is enchanted and even shared his Bonio!
(Normally he would have anyone's head off if he thought they were after his food!) Deccy wagged his tail when he greeted me tonight and the poor puppy was wacked in the face by it!
he'll learn!
