My sweet girl, Coffee, retired racing at 2 years old. She was a “slow dog,”and nearly lost her life for it here in the states.
You can read her story on her dogster page.

I can’t imagine life without her. Thank goodness for greyhound rescue groups.
Thanks for sharing this sad, sad article.

I couldn’t every read the whole thing. GRRRRR!
What good breeder would allow perfectly healthy dogs to get killed JUST because they were too slow to be racing dogs?!?!?!?!??? Obviously, the responsible thing to do is place them as pet quality to a loving home.
This outrages me, especially as someone who one day wants to be reputable breeder.

What a foolish, sick, and cruel person.
“I do give as many away for pets as we can, but these young ones, they are not used to the house environment. If they can have a use and help someone somewhere, and it gets me a tiny bit of money back, that’s all the better for me.”
All I can say is “WHAT?” Let’s zoom in on that last sentence: “it gets me a tiny bit of money back, that’s all the better for me.” This man is selfish and without a doubt doesn’t give a living heck about his dogs. Just sickening.
