Well Bruce is one lucky dog then. Good for you. We did love our time with the greyhounds. We had a few hens and roosters and they'd walk right past the greyhounds and they'd just look at them. We had a Lab too and if he didn't move the hens and roosters used to walk straight over him.
Even though it's a really callous and cruel sport, the people who train the greyhounds seem to have a real knack with them. It may have something to do with the daily handling, the walks, the grooming and maybe the daily routine.
I sometimes wonder whether it should be illegal to breed dogs, cats and horses without a permit. There's too many unwanted animals and not enough animal lovers to rescue them all.
Bruce is as lucky as I am to have him mate. Just a brilliant animal, and Ive grown up with all sorts of breeds.
Sounds like a little farm there, i'm envious. I am out of Hobart on a big suburban block with water everywhere but would love that, I not huge on fast city life.
It's a terrible "sport". I'd suggest that knack is the dogs are so amazing to do it regardless rather than the owners.
I am still campaigning to have the Greyhound industry stopped. I work in Law as you know and whilst they will take no notice of me as per usual, I assure you I will raise an effort.
Of course it should be illegal to breed as you say. Never happen though as Govt/Councils love the free charges and do nothing to control it.
