jade 1 7 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Alright mate if you tell your mate to google www. greyhound data.com and go into tattoos, he'll find out all about the dogs background, this is what the tattoos are for, when the dog was bred, whether English or Irish etc. Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tote 843 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Alright mate if you tell your mate to google www. greyhound data.com and go into tattoos, he'll find out all about the dogs background, this is what the tattoos are for, when the dog was bred, whether English or Irish etc. Mick Greyhound data will only have the earmarks of the dog if someone has registered them on that forum. Your best bet would be to give the Greyhound Stud Book a ring, here's a link below. http://www.greyhoundstudbook.co.uk/ Although if the dog has earmarks in both ears I'm pretty certain it'll have been registered by the ICC [irish coursing club]. The link below has some usefull contact numbers. http://www.greyhoundrescue.co.uk/_identifying_your_greyhound.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
