Your Greyhounds History: Are You Curious?

Have  you ever wondered what your hound got up to before you adopted them?   We’ve noticed over the years that not all rehoming centres and rescues  give out a greyhound’s history at the point of adoption or  beforehand…some don’t even provide their racing names, or any details  about them at all!  We’ve even seen a hound rehomed by one of the big  multi-breed rescues as a 5+ year old with a full race career, when he  was actually an unraced pup!  

This  can make a massive difference to life with your adopted hound, how you  exercise them, how you socialise them and many other aspects.  Some  people don't want young hounds, as they're refered to land-sharks for a  reason!  Knowing your hounds history, as well as their exact age and  other details can be important for many reasons.

While  for some adopters it may just be scratching that itch of curiosity in  finding out more about the lives their hounds lived before adoption, for  others it is finding out everything there is to know about them!   Thankfully, there is an easy way to find out!

There  is an amazing Facebook group called 'Your Greyhound's History' which is  run by a team of phenomenal volunteers.   All you need to do it provide  them with your hound’s racing name, ear tattoos and/or microchip and  they’ll do the rest…easy peasy!

We  would highly recommend joining the group, if you haven’t already, and  finding out all there is to know about your beautiful hounds!  You can  find the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/531069191031946/
