*The*Field*Marshall* 674 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Puts to bed the once widespread notion that greyhounds are 'thick' .. Proves that the reputation more likely comes from the dogs lack of socialisation rather than mental ability. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gin 496 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Very interesting bit of film. I'd expect they were catching them to reduce injury as thats some height for any dog. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGD 6,384 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Sort of like that Dock Diving sport they do in America, from what I've seen greyhounds and lurchers excel at that too 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
