I've seen quite a few injured greyhounds in my time, none of these injuries are very funny.
They're brave dogs when suffering and will allow you to examine and tend severe cuts, strains and breaks, without aggression...i have never been bitten by a greyhound although having to attend to many cut pads ect. Contrary to popular belief, racing greyhound owners are in the main very protective of their charges, a top racer can be worth around £50,000 and even a half decent grader will cost over £1000.
As I said earlier anyone wanting to get into racing should buy a pup or sapling and have it schooled at racing kennels. Once schooled its simply a matter of good food,grooming and plenty of walking on the leash, the exciting bit begins with getting your dog to do the time required to qualify for racing.....its a real roller-coaster from then on, there will be lots of highs and lows, but the highs you will remember all your life.
