Morning Schooling [4.01] 

Thank you for sharing about your grey, what is the good boy's name?

His retired name is Charlie, racing name was lineman . He raced at Caliente.

I loved your response, Cindy, I often tell older friends to consider a grey before visiting a puppy factory for a toy breed. Your love for your dog is so evident, they are such a joy! Best wishes to you and Charlie.♥️

Thank you, dog racing can be a controversial topic and I was expecting a lot of negative comments but I have yet to receive one. I guess it must be difficult to argue against visual proof of careful handling. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching.

@@boudicca9685 which industry does not have a dark side? Then we should cancel everything, including schools... People just can't mind their own business. Because someone thinks something, cancels the other's lifestyle.

You worked at a racetrack that closed in the early 90's and your from Iowa, did you work at the Waterloo Greyhound Park?

Greyt Show actually it was on the border of Iowa and South Dakota. Sodrac Park opened in 1955. It technically was in South Dakota. It was the biggest attraction of the Midwest back in the days.

Greyt Show my father couldn’t get in until 1959 when he turned 21. He said later on there would be buses 🚎 coming to the track from Minneapolis, Kansas City and Omaha. It was big time back then. I was 14 in 1985 when I started to work there. I miss it. I love greyhound’s.

The Premier of New South Wales ( the most important state in Australia) banned greyhound racing a couple of years ago. After 3 months of public outrage dog racing was back and the Premier was out on his arse unemployed!!

I'm glad I was able to show you something that you had not been able to see before. Thanks for watching!

That is very cool that you got to be part of his life from the beginning! That will help to avoid some of the anxiety when you finally adopt him as you won't be a stranger to him.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, I got that new muzzling video right here. Glad you are being safe at the dog park and having yours wear one! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M7iusm3zZPY.html

Thank you very much!

thank you for watching!

I've heard of some prisons that have foster dog programs and I think that is good to have inmates providing care and kindness for an animal. Thanks for sharing!

@@GreytShow win-win-win !!

Thanks for watching!

thank you for watching!

I wasn't sure how this video would be received because I know there are a lot of people out there who have made up their minds without actually doing any research. You'll find people like that in all walks of life, not just in the greyhound following. Thank you for watching!

@GreytShow with you the notion that common sense is the most limited od all natural resources becomes painfully obvious

@@luciamxx Spoken like someone with no first-hand knowledge of greyhound racing who has simply chosen to believe what you've been told by a lobbying group that spends 99% of the money it gets from misinformed donors to pay for professional fundraisers, executive salaries & benefits, off-shore bank accounts and political action. Meanwhile, less than 1% of HSUS's donations go to legitimate animal rescues.

Sandi Roberts think what you will if it makes it easier for you. But the truth is out there, at your reach, if one day you decide to honor your dog and learn it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

Several of those new hounds feature in this month's muzzling video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M7iusm3zZPY.html

You can get one for free. Ask any of the trainer's ❤

@@paulhaines617 any recommendations where I need to call or something. Thank you

Get a state dog racing owners permit...for starters...then contact one of the many trainers...then buy a dog...its more complicated than what I said...but that's the jist of it...you can have just one dog or a hundred...THAT MY FRIEND IS DETERMINED BY YOUR HEART IN THE GAME....and your budget

Greyhounds, if you own one, love to sleep and can sleep 22 hours a day if left alone. At the kennels, they are allowed to sleep in their crates for after breakfast naps, afternoon naps and then all night until the next morning. Between nap times, they are out of their crates and being walked, being given sprint runs, playtime with the others, potty time, rub downs and just relaxation outside. They are out of their crates about 2 hours at a time, around 3 or 4 times a day. On race day, they are at the tracks in holding areas until they race, which could be an hour to 5 hours, depending on what race they're in that day.

@@momtoty Thank you a lot for the answer and detailed info! If I may ask, are you part of the "industry"/racing community?

@@christophjanssen9324 No, I don't own any racing greyhounds, but I've been adopting, fostering and finding homes for greyhounds for 22 years now and I do know kennel owners personally.

@@momtoty That's great, thank you for giving me that info! (Just want to check my sources) If I may ask another question, how many dogs do get adopted? (Roughly)

I just saw some of your comments under diff. videos, I am quite curious, how are the regulations for racing in the US? Many comments described that the US had better kennels than those abroad. I hope it is okay to ask so much since I am seeking the truth about this all. There is just too much stuff and too less hard facts.

Greyhounds can get a little competitive and sometimes nip each other. The muzzle prevents them from injuring one another.

Ok thanks for replying

It is sad when bad kennel owners mistreat their dogs. It certainly brings down the reputation of the kennels who take good care of their dogs. I'm glad you have provided a safe home for your grey!

Try taking her to a track doing trial's and you'll see how excited she gets, see if I'm wrong?

@@paulhaines617 because she has been conditioned to be excited by that life... the lure... the flirt pole. Instead she is excited with fluffy squeaky toys she uses when she wants to be excited. She can't be bothered these days to be on the chase and there's no way I'd take her back to a race track! We would backtrack and confuse her 😞

I have not heard of euthanizing greyhounds if they break a leg (at least not in the US where there are laws prohibiting that) rather instead the leg is set and the dog placed for adoption. That is how we got our first greyhound, Wilson! I'm not sure what you mean by isolation for their first few years. Greyhound puppies stay with their littermates for their first two years of life while growing up and training. After that they go to the race track kennel where at night they sleep in their individual crate but all those are in one big room. During their downtime the kennel staff will alternate dogs in the turnout yards keeping the males separated from the females...for obvious reasons, lol! Hope that answers your questions. It all is a time in a greyhound's life that the public usually doesnt get the opportunity to see.

Human sports enthusiasts get all kinds of injuries some fatal. Should sport be banned?

@@boudicca9685 I didn't see anyone forcing them to run.

@@ThePunter29 They really love to run and chase, at least my grey does. The problem is what happens AFTER their racing career. There is an overbreeding bc not every hound is good enough to race. Some get adopted (like the one i have) but the majority of them get sold to bloodfarms, to "research", to other countries for meat or simply get culled. They all have pedigrees and almost all were well taken care of, thats true! But when they leave the racing kennel, everything might happen to them! Mine was on deathrow together with his brother in an animal shelter. I could look him up on "greyhound details" and he has won a bunch of money for his trainer. And then he had to go...

@@chestnutandmushrooms You must not be from the USA. Every NGA American racing greyhound is accounted for from birth until adoption. They are not culled, not euthanized, not sold for research or for meat. Every greyhound , whether they choose to race or not, gets adopted or stays with their owner. There are over 100 adoption groups in the USA and many have waiting lists because there is a shortage of available greyhounds. There are less than 7,000 bred each year because of the FL tracks closing, so adopting a retired greyhound is very hard to do. There is no over breeding and never was. No greyhounds here ever go to shelters. They only go to NGA approved adoption groups for adoption.

The injury rate of racing greyhounds is very low. The tracks are groomed before each race to make them as safe as possible. Most injuries are minor like a broken toe or dislocated toe. There are more injuries to adopt greyhounds each year than racing greyhounds.

Spot on buddy

So...a high school kid probably died on the practice football field today...from a HEART ATTACK...a mom died giving birth to her first born...now with my two...and your one example...one thing in common...is that all three as tragic as it is unfortunately died doing what the loved ...yes jewel died in a race...by your very statement...i QUOTE RACED FOR NEARLY THREE YEARS...who ever you are understand this!!!!! no dog races for nearly three years without loving their job...in no way...i mean no way...Can a man or woman force a dog to run that does not want to...NO WAY er job...would you????

@@danthelooser i have an more than average understanding of dogs and dog psychology. You my friend obviously do NOT.

Stop spreading propaganda. You don't know anything about greyhounds.

@Fred Barton, The Iowa track is opening up again for a few more weeks before they close permanently. So they are NOT out of business yet. Greyhounds are exploited by YOU, not racing owners. You and your cohorts, Thiel and Dorchak exploit them through the many, many lies you tell and convince unknowing people to believe to get donations for salaries, advertising, lavish vacations and paying off politicians to side with you. That's exploitation Fred. Exploiting greyhounds through your lies. Yep, That is a TRUE fact! There isn't one bad thing you can say about this video. No abuse, no neglect, no forcing them to run, no confinement, nothing bad at all. These greyhounds are LOVING this, every bit of it. If you can't see that, you're totally helpless and pretty stupid.

@fredbarton3117 The only people exploiting greyhounds are the lying activists of grey2k who use the greyhounds to get their donation money that they pocket very nicely and NEVER use any of that money towards greyhounds at all. If you actually knew anything about racing greyhounds you would know that owners don't profit from their racers. It's quite expensive to own and keep a racer. But since you're a grey2k butt kisser, you wouldn't believe the truth if God himself told you.

Uh...ok? Can you help me to understand what I did that you find disgusting?

What is so disgusting? Greyhounds loving to race, to chase? That's disgusting? Care to explain yourself?

There are plenty of shelter dogs out there for you to save. Just stay away from this breed as you clearly don't understand what it's like not to do what you love. Also, dogs must be treated well in order for their owners to make money. Meaning, an unhappy dog will not perform well. LOGIC

@@GreyJay22 Ok Lori. Have fun in lala land! 🥰

What cruelty? What have you seen yourself that says it is cruel to let greyhounds do what they love to do? They race because they love it and are never forced. If they didn't want to race around the track they wouldn't. There is nothing cruel about greyhound racing. They get the best care possible. They get exercised every day, rub downs every day, sprint runs, playtime, two balanced meals with vitamins and vegetables and pasta or rice mixed in, Vet checks every week and before and after each race. State inspectors randomly inspect the kennels every week. If they see any abuse it is stopped right then and there. How many kennels have you been to? How many kennel owners, handlers and racing owners do you know personally? How many years have you been adopting greyhounds? So, what kennel did you yourself see this abuse? And who did you report it to?

@@momtoty why don't you answer the question why you think dog racing is banned almost everywhere in the world? And then i will answer all of yours.

@@luciamxx Racing isn't banned all over the world. They are racing greyhounds in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Pakistan and other countries. We are still racing here in the states. Racing itself isn't banned in the USA. It's betting on them that is banned. Racing is only illegal in one state Iowa. Anyone can still race greyhounds in any other state as long as there is no betting. Now, answer my questions truthfully.
