They all keep telling me that people will still want pet greyhounds. The woman who bred my whippet has one greyhound, an elderly stud dog who will not be replaced. Show greyhounds are on the endangered list. Whippet puppies are a nightmare for the first year or so; I can’t imagine having something as bonkers but five times bigger. The rescues would be full of them if people bought the puppies as pets. I guess there will still be adult Spanish hunting greyhounds up for rehoming but they won’t be as well bred conformation and health wise as racing greyhounds. It’ll be interesting to hear people’s views when we go on our annual greyhound walk in May because several of the people do run rescues.
