If it’s a pet, then obviously a greyhound sanctuary. You can have your pick from over 40/50 dogs at any given one.

Best fox dog I ever seen ex track bitch was abit wild at 1st but with some time and training she turned into a fox killing machine. 

Unfortunately she was stopen before a litter could be had

I'm on my way back from a nights racing now. Honestly get to your local trainers kennel or go straight to a retirement home. Oh and if you want a hard working dog, think again. I've just witnessed one cry because it didn't like the wet grass under its feet!

I’m repeating myself on here (but who doesn’t? ) I lamped an ex track bitch called Cotton Girl for one season in the 90’s & it was the best retriever I ever had.....

Why only 1 season.?

Go on line and most greyhound kennels will have few jooks looking for homes ,if you have a track near you just talk to trainers and you soon have one ..

i see greyhound work as good as any jook over the yrs ,my brother had two and they both demon on fox and good pot fillers ,just got to give them a chance to get head around running live and not a mechanical hare .

good luck

They also need to realise that terriers and other small dogs arnt on the list aswell as they will gave ago at anything smaller than them

This little bitch worked pretty well after retirement from the track but in truth they've bred to race rather than work, bit like putting an F1 car on a rally. Better to get a rally car, in dog terms a lurcher. If you want a pure bred then a saluki or galgo would be a good choice.
