THE GREYHOUND FAMOUS OR INFAMOUS

Submitted by SARAH from The Iowa Department of Agriculture.

THANKS SARAH

The greyhound is one of the most famous and infamous dogs in history. With a legacy spanning 8000 years, the history of the greyhound follows along a very close timeline with human history. When humans prevailed, greyhounds prevailed. When humans suffered, so did the hounds. Throughout all the major events of Western Civilization, the dogs referred to as “great hunters” followed every step of the way.

SLATEX DEALS STEALS THE SHOW
Saturday Night after the finals of THE $60,000 SPRING FUTURITY, The Harlan Brothers Kennel and trainer Lori Fortune were all smiles.
They had entered five nice pups into the first round of 64 dogs. After four elimination rounds they had four of the final eight. I'm sure they were thinking that the SUPEFECTA would be a nice way to end the evening but Nascardotcom prevented that.

CANINE INFLUENZA
Canine Influenza: The Greyhound’s Guide to a Speedy Recovery

The winter of 2007-2008 was one of the harshest in Iowa’s history. The constant cold weather tested the strength of much of the population, and greyhounds were no exception. The fun of bounding through the snow was dampened by severe cold. With racing season almost under way, many are concerned about canine influenza.
