Hugo asks; Did You Know? A racing greyhound is the most loved dog in the world?!
Even apart from waking up every morning to do what comes most inherently naturally to them, the care of the racing greyhound mirrors, and arguably surpasses, that of the most dedicated athletes in human sport.
Tailored diets, tailored fitness plans, and breed specific exercise regimes are just snippets of the exacting standards adhered to in racing kennels, but it is surely in the regulation of this most beautiful breed by the racing authorities where greyhounds leave all other breeds of dog, light-years behind!
From birth, stringent and constrictive breeding regulation means every single greyhound born can be accounted for by governing authorities, meaning that the ancestry of any racing greyhound can be traced back for generation on generation.
That level of regulation which encompasses mandatory veterinary care and certification, means that the ancestors of today’s greyhounds, being so properly cared for, leave us a stronger and medically safer breed with each generation that passes.
Not just saying that you love dogs, imposing proper and enforced regulation SHOWS THE LOVE. And in that regard, greyhounds are indeed the most loved dog in the world!
