Just to remind everyone that we have specific greyhound training classes run by people very experienced in greyhound behaviour and we're always there to help. If you have a greyhound from Perry Barr or Hall Green you get four free training sessions. Julie

Hi Deb I think they are suspended from racing for a while depending on whether it's the first, second or third time they've 'fought' ... once they have been suspended a third time they have to have a trial at the track (to make sure they don't do it again) and be passed by the stewards before they're allowed to run again but if they fight a 4th time they're banned for life. I think 'fighting' can describe just turning their head to look at another dog tho obviously that can put off another dog running alongside them but the term 'fighting' doesn't mean what most people think of as dogs fighting .. and trying to play instead of racing isn't encouraged either 🙂 J x

Hi Deb, we were at the track that night, sponsored race night, she wanted to play with one of the other dogs whilst running! Therefore disqualified and not allowed to race again. She was wise, now she has an early retirement in a loving home, who said greyhounds are daft!!

the right home is out there for Pippa and I fully understand why the family have returned her. It has to be right for everyone

a bit of a daft question but what does a grey have to do to be disqualified and if they are from one race does that mean their racing career is over?

Pippa
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Sadly Pippa was returned today. Her owner was very upset at bringing her back but this morning in the park she managed to pull her owner over and went for a small dog, getting her muzzle off in the process. It was a frightening experience for her owner who felt the right thing to do was to return her as it was a side of her he had not seen. This is obviously frightening for a family with a 5 year old child. Pippa was quite stressed at being back at the kennels so I have brought her home with me. She has settled well and is currently fast asleep on our lounge carpet, accompanied by 8 other greys! Her owner did say that she had been really good in the house and with their other grey, it was just this incident, which had been frightening, was where she went wrong. I am hoping I have worded this right for the family who have returned her and hope people will respect the family for their decision as it has been a hard one for them to make. I know with a some training, socialisation and time, Pippa will overcome this problem and we hope she finds another home very soon - you never know, her luck may be in at the dog show. Until then, she will come home with me.
