Usually between the ages of 2 and 5, as noted above. Closer to 2 if they don’t actually make it to the race track (as I understand it, a large percentage never race because they aren’t fast enough or don’t have the interest, so there can be a lot of two-year-olds who need homes). They’ll retire closer to five if they have a successful racing career. Sometimes a dog who has been a brood mare will be put up for adoption, and she will be older.

greyhounds have always been my favourite typ of dog! that’s how i came to this video… i put greyhound into the search box!
that’s BS, they …
that’s BS, they should heavily regulate dog racing and how the dogs are treated, and if the owners want to just throw the dogs away after they should have to pay a signifcant fee to cover the costs of anding them over to animal groups like this…total bs system.
That’s not the …
That’s not the solution. Stop business with animals. Imagine the people of the Racing business saying…oh it doesn’t matter, there are associations and people who will adopt them….I’m sorry but I don’t want to be a part of that chain…is like support the racing for dogs… I love my dog from puppy, If you want to stop the business, stop it. Are you going to adopt also bulls or pitbulls after they were used for business(fighting)?STOP THE ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM DON”T HELP THE PROBLEM

that is just so beautiful. i love what these people are doing because so many greythounds are abused and only used for racing. the owners just use them to get the prize money of whay the dog did. sometimes i wish dog could talk so they can just tell their owner ” hey, i dont like that so cut it out” but they dont have that ability so its very sad and so unfair. who ever post this video i am glad because people should hear this or put the program back on the television. that is a beautiful thing.

i apsolutly love greyhounds, i have one, and it is the best dog i have ever met!!!
he is only 2 and has never races=d, he dont even have marks in his ears. his name is dodger and his bed is under the stairs. if it is not walkies or dinner, he stays on his bed. when it is dry, we let him in the garden, which has caused all the grass to uproot, lol, but we still love him more than life. just makes sure you put something over yr glass doors, cause they will run into them, and unfortunatly die =[
