Greyhound Facts

It is more than just the races. Es más que carreras.

Often the general public doesn’t have a true understanding of what the lives of racing greyhounds are like, and how their track experiences contribute to them becoming great pets. Internet searches will lead you to a great deal of information. Unfortunately, most of it is inaccurate and/or out dated. This honest information is sourced from those who truly care about the greyhounds and their well-being.

A menudo el público en general no tiene una verdadera comprensión de cómo son las vidas de las carreras de galgos y cómo su experiencia de seguimiento contribuyen a que se conviertan en grandes mascotas. Las búsquedas en internet los llevan a una gran limpieza de la información. Esta información honesta proviene de que realmente se preocupa por los galgos y su bienestar.

Greyhound Facts is the place to learn about all aspects of present day greyhound racing in the USA, from those with hands on experience. Our network of volunteers includes people who are actively involved in the breeding, raising, training, and rehoming of these wonderful hounds, as well as those who adopt them.

We also believe it is important to support the many adoption groups who work tirelessly with the trainers, kennels, and owners to get these wonderful dogs from the track to our homes.

On the Farm

Where it all begins....from birth to learning how to chase the lure and everything in between. On the Farm is the section to explore everything greyhound puppy related...or "land sharks" as they are often called. It may be difficult to believe that the retired racing greyhound that graces your couch was once a non-stop energy machine.

Off to the Races

A first hand look at track life. It's more than just the races. There is a lot of preparation required to ensure that each racer is ready for every race and able to do its absolute best. It's all about love and care by the trainers and kennel hands, the training itself, the turnouts, the whirlpools and the feeding!

Retirement

Lee Lee readingOn to the next phase, retirement. Once they retire, greyhounds move into many new careers. Some become professional couch potatoes. Some enjoy a more active retirement and participate in lure coursing or agility. Some turn to helping others and are successful therapy dogs. Regardless of the choice, your home is better for sharing it with a retired racer!
