Hello, friends and thank you for visiting my blog. These are the first words from me to all you greyhound fans out there, so I will choose them wisely. First, I would like to explain how my passion for greyhounds and dog racing came to be. One day, I was walking with a couple of friends in the nearby park when I saw a family playing with a greyhound. I swear it was the most beautiful creature that I had ever seen. I was hypnotised. It was as if I had seen a unicorn. Although I know the breed and I had seen greyhounds before, this one was absolutely amazing. Watching this greyhound run freely has made me fall in love with the grace and beauty of this breed.

The Ferrari of the dog world, as I like to call them, greyhounds can reach a speed of 45 mph, but they are also excellent for family life and keeping your kids busy and out of your hair. Except running, they love to play and cuddle. A lot of cuddling will be involved if you get a greyhound. They are unbelievably loving and are believed to be one of the oldest breeds in the world. Carving of these beautiful creatures date as back as 2900 BC and it is said that Roman were using them to chase hares. This is why nowadays during greyhound racing the lure is a rabbit.

I am particularly fond of this breed and I can even say that we consider our greyhounds to be more part of the family, than our pets. Yes, I say greyhounds, we have 3 of them, two of which are retired racers. So, I shared a little bit of my history with this wonderful breed and I promise you that the articles you will read on this site will bring even more light in the exciting world of dog racing.
