The following information sheet
is one of three currently being compiled from daily discussions on the
Greyhound-L listserv. These
three info sheets (GH Medical, GH General Info, and GH Resources/Supplies)
are unofficial compilations - in other words, these are my *pet projects*
as opposed to official FAQ files. I
maintain and update these info sheets as new information crosses my
e-mail account. I accept any and all updates, comments, corrections,
and additions to these info sheets: please send mail to greyhoundadmin@abap.org All data is provided as **information
only**. The greyhound-l list
server is made up of a large group of Greyhound owners - some with limited
experience, and some with EXTENSIVE experience - who meet on a computer
forum to discuss Greyhounds and Greyhound related topics. I try to collect interesting data on various topics, and reflect
a group consensus or varied cross-sections of thought on those topics. All of the data in these infosheets
is Copyright to the Original author on the Greyhound-L. I have been given permission to compile and
publish this data by the authors. This
infosheet can be reproduced *in full*, and distributed. If you wish to use any one part of this info
sheet (i.e., a newsletter), you must contact me for author permission. Thank
you - Lynda Adame, Cody and Tara (and Tice who is with us in spirit)

===================================== Last Update 2/5/99 CALENDAR: Produced and published yearly
by The Greyhound Project, Inc., P.O. Box 5239, Framingham, MA 01701.
The Greyhound Project is a volunteer non-profit organization
providing information about and promoting the adoption of retired racing
greyhounds. The purpose includes
promoting cooperation between and among greyhound adoption program to
further the placement of greyhounds at the end of their racing careers.
Profits from the sale of the Greyhound Calendar are sent to the greyhound
adoption agency of the purchaser's choice. Color photos of greyhounds
being submitted for consideration for inclusion in the calendar should
be submitted by April for the next year.
Late submissions will be held for consideration in the following
year. GREYHOUND STAMPS: These brightly colored "stamps", kind of
like Easter Seal stamps, brighten up your letters and carry a greyhound
message. They are published by The Greyhound Protection League, P.O.
Box 60715, Palo Alto, CA 94306, (415)327-0631, in sheets of 32 2"
wide by 1.25" high stamps for $1.00 a sheet.
No two stamps on a sheet are alike.
Profits from the sale of these stamps go back into greyhound
rescue and adoption. POSTER: This black and white poster,
which is sponsored by the Greyhound Protection League, is available
for purchase by the general public.
It features a fantastic picture of the sweetest little Greyhound
you will ever see.(besides your own, of course : ) The text of the poster is: "Casinos, a Greyhound-safe bet", with a spiel
on the right hand side about casinos vs. racing. To get a copy, contact: Karen Wolfe P.O. Box 958672 Hoffman Estates IL
60195-8672 Or call: (708) 882-2188 after 5 p.m.
Illinois time for ordering info. Re: GPLeague's Casino Poster Each poster is $2.00 +shipping. PEDIGREES: To find out the lineage of
your ex-racer, five generations back: Send a letter & a $15.00 check to: NGA Pedigree Service Box 543 Abilene, KS
67410 In the text of the letter,
include the tattoo #'s found in both of your dogs ears, its sex, color,
and racing name if you know it. In return, the NGA will send you a nice pedigree. You can also simply call the
NGA, and (for free) find out the names of both the Sire and Dam of your
Greyhound, the birth date of your Greyhound, your Greyhounds racing
name, as well as who the owner was. (913)263-4660. You can also contact the NGA nga@jc.net ANOTHER PEDIGREE OPTION: I will be offering a 15x37
inch, 8 generation chart with your dogs registered name at
the bottom plus his registration numbers, your name and address and a space
for you to place a photo of him. These
charts include 255 names per chart
so I think you'll have fun linking up your fur friend with some of the
Greyts of the past. Cost will
be $40, and the chart, due to its size, will
be hand lettered. I will also be doing a much
fancier pedigree which will have on one side the pedigree and a watermark
picture of either your dog or another greyhound symbol. On the reverse, I plan to scan a color or b/w
print of your dog, all of the information
about him, including tattoos or microchip numbers, and identifying marks,
etc. This will be a sheet that
you can use in case he is lost or stolen,
or--for the AKC types--in case the AKC comes calling to inspect your kennels.
I will contribute a portion of the proceeds to rescue. Contact: Laurel Drew at: elaur@TWROL PUBLICATIONS: Newsletters: - Greyhound Network News is a quarterly newsletter of general information

1992. Chapter 5 is on Care and

of GH nutrition, obviously geared towards the retired racer. Probably the BEST place to start. BOOK OUTLINES GREYHOUND CARE,
MEDICINE By David Stauth, 503-737-0787 SOURCE: Linda Blythe, 503-737-6945 CORVALLIS - Veterinary researchers at Oregon State

out of Hertfordshire.) Chapter
3 is on Feeding and Nutrition, Chp. 14 General Health Care.
Good general overview of GH nutrition. Blythe, L., Gannon, J., Craig, A.M., Care of the Racing
Greyhound, American Greyhound Council, 1994. Chapter 8 is Digestive System and Nutrition, Chp. 16 is Metabolic
Disorders. This is probably
the most comprehensive, concise reference on GH nutrition. If you want to know more than what's in this book, you probably
should become a vet. All About the Racing Greyhound, Tompkins & Heasman
(Pelham, 1988) There is also an excellent
book by H. Edwards Clarke with a title a can't recall that gives an excellent history
of the breed, especially the show/coursing schism of the 1890s and the
track/ coursing schism of the 1930s. The Modern Greyhound by H.
Edwards Clarke. London: Hutchinson's Library of Sport and Pastimes
[no date]. --Mostly coursing
and racing stuff. An oldie but
a goodie. I find almost every
Greyhound book by Clarke
an interesting read. Another
similar title was still in print and available through Canadian vendors
a few years ago. The Waterloo Cup 1922 - 1977

in GH pedigrees there are two great books on the subject: Great Names

Pedigrees Vol 2 ($35 paperback). Volume
1 has over 50 chapters on GH like Tell You Why, Julius Caesar, Westy
Whizzer and the Jones boys (Onie, Kelly and Demon). These names most
likely appear in your dogs 4th, 5th and 6th generations. Volume two covers the 80s: S.S. Jeno, Share Profit,
Sandy Printer, Downing, Highway Robber, Rooster Cogburn, Mc's Grandmaster
and his brother Dutchmaster, Big Whizzer, etc. For information write: Greyhound Publications 304

touching. Story of a boy and

that was sort of interesting, but I don't have that one and thus can't
provide a full citation. "Sir Lancelot and Scamp" by Margaret S. Johnson
and Helen Lossing Johnson, 1945, Harcourt, Brace and Company, Inc. It is a touching children's story about a greyhound
and cocker spaniel. "Jet, a Gift to the Family" by Geoffrey Kilner.
This is a children's story about a family that adopts a pregnant
greyhound, and the only pup becomes a successful racer. "Blood Royal", by Rosemary Weir, Copyright
1973, ISBN 0-374-30845-4. GENERAL DOG BOOKS: I realized that you stressed ABOUT greyhounds but......
If you are interested in training in anyway (even manners) you
should get a copy of "Don't Shoot the Dog!" by Karen Pryor.
I cannot say enough about this book!!
Karen is an animal trainer, most notable is her dolphin training
experience which is completely positive.
When you finish this book, you should be able to train a chicken
or at least your roommate! It
cost about$6.00 and is available in the self-help section of the bookstore. It really is a wonderful book! Try it! Childproofing Your Dog-- by Brian Kilcommons. It's less than $10 in softcover. He gives concrete, useful advice. VERY worth getting. "Vacationing with Your
Pet!" by Eileen Barish. It has about 10,000 listings in it. We have found it helpful however, beware that
some places that welcome pets may require a nightly deposit or additional
charge of five to fifty dollars per pet.
AAA has tourbooks for each state that have hotel/motel listings
that clearly state whether or not pets are allowed, and if so, whether
or not a deposit or additional charge is required. Pets Are Permitted (5th Edition,
1995) M.E. Nelson, Editor. Publisher
- The Annenberg Communications Institute P.O. Box 3930 Torrance
CA 90510-3930.
310-374-6246. The book contains 10,000 Hotel,
Motel, Kennels, & Petsitters throughout the USA where dogs &
cats are considered cool. Also, 550 "five paw" places for
"haute dogs" (read Greyhound??), and other generally useful
information to keep pet and owner and proprietor happy. "Take Your Pet USA"
by Arthur Frank. It's paperback and lists for
$11.95. Even though you wouldn't
need the hotel/motel listings if you were traveling in an RV, one good
reason to consider getting the book anyway is that it lists the names,
addresses, and telephone numbers for veterinarians throughout the country
- could prove to be a handy reference in an emergency. "A Dog Is Listening", Roger Caras. ISBN 0-671-79726-3. Former president of the ASPCA writes an entertaining

$20.00 - I'm a big fan of the "Waterloo"
double layer wool coat from the Greyhound and Whippet Shop in London.
It's soft, warm, water-resistant, easy to put on/take off, and
reasonably priced. I just bought one for Kelly and it was 23 pounds,
50, including shipping to the US. I
think that's about $40, but I haven't checked the exchange rate lately.
Their phone is 081-527-7278 (I think the code for the UK from the US
is 044, but check your phone book, as I'm not sure.) I've not seen anything comparable in the States to the Waterloo,
even at $75+. They take VISA,
and shipping usually takes only a week or so.
They also have leather sighthound collars. Their brochure is text only. - You can get custom Greyhound

Work even until neck depth measures 7.5 inches or desired length,

edge of belly band, along ridge formed by picked up sts. Sew untrimmed edge of belly band to the center
of the bottom of the front extension, with the buttons closed. Sew D-rings on ends of belt, or use Velcro,
or you can tie the belt if you prefer. Note from Ginny to the knitters:
I have variously folded over the collar and tacked it in place
for a very preppie button-down look. I've also made the collar a lot
longer and picked it up all the way around the neck edge, and then used
Velcro to make a turtle neck, which can then be rolled down out of the
way when not in use. Experienced knitters can adapt the collar once
they see how it will turn out. The
belly band is not connected to the body piece along the sides as this sweater is
made. On two of them, I have
used "buttons" of Velcro along the edges of the
belly band and on the inside bottoms of the body piece to close the
sweater up for truly inclement conditions.
I also lined one sweater with fake sheepskin when it was finished,
but I had to borrow a friend's industrial sewing machine to do a good
job on it. COLD WEATHER BOOTS: Wy'East Fabrics 1345 19th St NE Salem, Oregon 97301 503 364-8419 503 391-8057 Fax. Frostline products. http://www.frostlinekits.com/ Free boot and paw protector

on the greyhound-l, is that Greyhounds seem to prefer the red colored Kongs over the other
colors. BOODA BRAND - VELVET BONE WARNING: Thought I'd let you all know about my experience with
the brand new Booda product called "Booda Velvets". These
are bone-shaped dog chews that come in red, yellow and green, and are
marked on the package as being "completely ingestible", and
"safe". The ingredient listing is corn or maize starch and
"inert ingredients" (= plastic). The chews are meant to be
totally eaten by the dogs and can be dangerous. GREAT SUPPLY LIST: Here is a FANTASTIC list of

starring Sir John Gielgud. There's
supposed to be just a short scene in the movie where a pack of a dozen
or so GHs are released to chase after something. "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter"
starring Peter Noone from Herman's Hermits was about a greyhound owned
by Noone's character and the quest to win the English Derby. "Coupe de Ville" had a long sequence featuring
a greyhound race, shot at Derby Lane in St. Petersburg. "Crackers" is an A&E mystery series on
cable that chronicles a criminal psychiatrist that has a weakness for
greyhound gambling. "The Simpsons" have
Santa's Little Helper <too many letters for an NGA name BTW, you only get 16 ...> An episode of the old "Route
66" found the wandering Corvette dudes staying on a greyhound racing farm in Kansas or Oklahoma. Linda Brown (Retired Racers - CA) has had her female
GH Lita in one TV show - Empty Nest, and in one movie - (the soon to
be released?) remake of The Little Princess. A British movie called 'Orlando'
(made in 1993, I think), it featured deerhounds, salukis and Afghan hounds. 'Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves' (starring Kevin Costner)
featured bloodthirsty (don't make me laugh) deerhounds in the beginning.
Another British (?) film, 'The Adventures of Baron
Munchausen', 1989, featured one sighthound which appeared to be a greyhound-deerhound
mix. There is a Disney film called
'Greta the Misfit Greyhound' which was made back in 1963, produced
and directed by Larry Lansburg, about a racing GH not so keen on racing by man-made rules.
Rather sad beginning but oh, so happy end, according to the best Disney
tradition. Another Disney movie called
"Race for Survival" - it's packaged with a Disney feature called "Three
on the Run" (about a dogsled competition) in the Disney Home Video
series. "Race for Survival"
is about a pilot hurt in a plane crash in Kenya and how he sends his
GH, Smokey, out with an SOS message attached to his collar. The GH encounters all sorts of interesting
experiences - meets up with and befriends an old lion, races from a
cheetah, runs with some giraffes - really neat footage! SunCoast Motion Pictures Company,
owned by Musicland. (800)-477-7999 This video is listed as "Three
On The Run", stock #5760293. $9.99 plus shipping. The PBS series "All Creatures Great and Small"
(based on the James Herriot stories) also reportedly show a greyhound
occasionally in the veterinarian's home and one episode supposedly had
the vet inspecting GHs at a track. The 1993 or 1994 remake of
"The Getaway" with Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin (original
movie was with Ali McGraw and Steve McQueen).
It was filmed at the Tampa track (although was supposed
to be set in Arizona) - the plot involves their attempt to rob a GH
track. UNIQUE DOG RESOURCES: - You can now put your loving companion onto his/her

Greyhound Council, Inc) project, an electronic bulletin board service aimed
at better facilitating the placement of retired Greyhounds as pets,
is up and running at NGA headquarters in Abilene.
Those active in any way in the Greyhound pet effort, including
many NGA members, pet organizations, tracks, haulers, etc. are invited
to participate by regularly receiving and/or sending information. Users can read, download, or upload files on the AGC BBS 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week. One need
only have access to a personal computer and modem to participate ...
For example, if a racetrack or pet agency suddenly has a surplus of
Greyhounds to place, it can solicit some assistance from other groups
on the BBS - the industries own lane on the information superhighway.
Need some Greyhounds for placement?
Call the BBS. Need a
hauler that transports pets to a certain area?
Give the BBS a try. If
you're a hauler and you have a couple of empty compartments that could
be filled with retired Greyhounds (either going or on the way home),
call the BBS. Have some tips on caring for Greyhounds? Want some help on building a kennel? Queries on veterinary advice? Want to relate a success story? New books being released? Contact the BBS. The possibilities are endless.
Financed by the AGC, the BBS number is (913) 263-2266. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ These info sheets are dedicated to the memory of Bob
Brady Jr. (1954 - 1995) Bob was a long-time participant in the dog newsgroups
and was a tireless defender of Greyhound rights. He loved, and was loved, by his four 'greykids', General Hampton,
Miss Charlotte, Jennie Mae, and Blaze (a.k.a. Blaze Monster). Bobs wisdom
and gentle wit will be missed by many of us whose lives he touched. We miss you Bob, and we will keep up the fight for
the Greyhounds...they do need us. |
