Renewed Life for Greyhounds

Something About Me

I am a trained athlete and have "earned my biscuits." Now I'm retired. I could be anywhere from just under two years old to four or five years old, depending on how successful I was on the track. I may be male or female, and I come in a variety of colors - all of them beautiful!

My breed has a Hall of Fame in Abilene, Kansas. I am a descendent of an ancient breed that goes back to the Celts and further. In old England, "You could tell a gentleman by his horse and his greyhound." Common folk could not own me. Look at the old painting of hunting feasts and you'll find my ancestors. The term "Greyhound" has nothing to do with color. It's old English (Anglo Saxon) Gre-hunder (rough), supposedly "Dog Hunter" or order of rank, which was high. I think you'll agree I've got class. Now I look to you to help me adjust to my retirement.
