GENERAL INFORMATION AND ADVICE: 

Need a Vet in the area? .

The Greyhound Project - a very large and informative web site dedicated to ex-racing Greyhounds.

The Greyhound Discussion List - this email discussion group has thousands of members and is an absolute wealth of knowledge, but be warned:  There are sometimes hundreds of postings a day that come in digest form, and things can get very heated.  Adoption groups, racing enthusiasts/owners, breeders, animal-rights types, Veterinarians, you name it - when the talk turns to racing, they all state their feelings without apology and it can get nasty.  It is, however, a great place for the new adopter to get information and advice about behavior, nutrition, etc.

Greytalk is a much friendlier place to get advice and share experiences with other Greyhound folk. A little discussion board that grew into a big one but still keeps that feeling of a supportive community.

RACING RECORDS, PEDIGREES:

The National Greyhound Association is the governing body of Greyhound Racing in the United States.  The also sell various Greyhound accessories (muzzles, squawkers, blankets, etc.) geared toward the racing kennel. This site instructs you on how to obtain the official racing history of your dog by mailing in the ear tattoo numbers. For a price, you can even receive a certificate naming you as the registered owner of your dog.

Rosnet Greyhound Racing - This is a pay site for Greyhound Racing Records. We have a membership and will be glad to research your pup - just send an email.

Greyhound-Data is a free site for pedigree and littermate names. Enter your dog's full racing name or tattoos and find out their birthday, parents, littermates and even their racing history charts, complete with commentary such as "Bumped, inside", "Led all the way" or the dreaded "No factor". If your pup isn't listed or if you know something about your Greyhound that's not shown on the site, you can add the information yourself! Add your pictures, too!

COURSING:

Northwest Sporting Greyhound Association shows information about racing your hound in competition or where to join a novice “fun run”.  Attending events is always entertaining, and it’s so interesting to see all the other sighthounds, but mostly it’s fun to see how your Greyhound reacts to the lure!

The American Sighthound Field Association is another lure coursing organization.
 

ANIMAL COMMUNICATOR:  

Renowned communicator Anita Curtis at does telephone readings for a reasonable fee, and I know several people from our discussion board have consulted her and been astounded. It doesn’t matter where the animal is located, or even if the animal is no longer living.  Do we believe in this stuff? Well...  We know many people who’ve had amazing experiences with animal psychics (this one and others), but we’ll leave that up to you.
