Greyhound Crossroads

Buster just arrived from Australia. He only raced 7 races there and won 2 of them. His last race was December 4th 2023. He raced at 79lbs and is a tall, handsome, guy with a beautiful shiny coat. His sire is Dyna Double One and his dam is Lilac Izmir. He was born on April 16th of 2022. Buster is full of fun and loves to play with humans and other dogs. In Australia he lived with two retired greyhounds, a whippet and a Jack Russell and was very good with them. He is very social with other dogs and gets along with everyone. Buster was already home acclimated in Australia and was house trained there and had good house manners so he should be an easy addition to his new home. Whether it is a game of fetch, a run on leash, or just hanging out at home, Buster is is ready for anything. He does well traveling too. He was too interested in the cat to be able to live with them. We were able to redirect him some, but we would prefer a home with no kitties. Buster hasn't had long term exposure to kids although he really liked the kids he met. If you are looking for an outgoing, loving, playful dog, Buster is your guy!

Shear Volume was called Savannah at the WV farm she was raised on. She came to us with her brother Jim straight from the farm. They just never did well enough in training to make it to the race track. She is a very young girl that won't turn 2 until April 12th. Her Sire is RCK Goneinaflash and her dam is RCK Golden Grace. She is a mid sized female that probably weighs in the lower 60s, although she doesn't have an official racing weight. Savannah was described to us as a girl that really loves attention to the point of being 'needy'. A really sweet girl. So far she has been a little overwhelmed by her first trip away from the farm, where she was born, but is handling everything new pretty well. She passed her cat test with only a few sniffs and no interest in chasing. She was also great with the small dog she met and seems to like children. So far, Savannah is pretty calm for such a young girl. She got along with all the other greyhounds she met too.

Kordell came to us directly from the WV farm where he was born. He had an injury to his back when he was 3-4 months old. He got the injury when playing with other pups and his owner wasn't sure what actually happened. Kordell recovered, but his back has always looked a bit different - a little more bowed than most. But nothing even that noticeable. His owner knew he wouldn't be able to race, so he never went to training or to the race track. Kordell runs and plays and doesn't seem handicapped by his injury. Our vet is going to check him over but at this time he appears to be healthy and has showed no sign of being in any pain. Kordell is a very young guy that won't even turn 2 until May 31st. His sire is Top Of The Pile and his Dam is Fly Margorie G. Kordell has been a little nervous, as expected, with all the changes he has experienced since he left the farm. He is very loving though and seems like he is going to be a velcro dog. He wants to be with people and especially seems to love children. He passed his cat test easily without any interest in chasing. He also did well when meeting a small white dog. He was good with the other greyhounds he met on his trip. This is a great pup that is going to be a wonderful pet. He is a mid sized guy that probably weighs around 65lbs, but needs to gain 5-10 lbs. His owner says he tends to stay on the thin side and can be hard to keep weight on.

Toast just arrived from Tri State Race Track in WV, where he raced 83 races. He was a good racer getting up to the top AA level, winning 11 races and placing in a lot more. Toast is a mid sized male, racing at 73lbs. His DOB is 8/31/22, so he won't turn 4 until the end of July. Toast's sire is the famous Highly Classified and his dam is ABS Almighty. He was very interested in the cat at first, but after a slap from the cat, didn't even want to get near it or look at it again. We think he may be trainable and should be able to live with a confident cat, that would put him in his place. Toast was good with the small dog he met. He is an extremely confident guy, that loves people and wanted to help drive on the trip to SC. He can be pushy about getting what he wants. He was bossy with the other dogs on the trip down and seems like a natural leader of the pack. He liked the kids he met, but he does like to give hugs, so could easily knock over a small child. He is doing great in his foster home and doesn't seem to be stressed. He reacts with curiosity to everything and is fearful of nothing so far. Toast is a lot of happy dog.

Diamond just arrived from the Tri-State Race Track in WV. She only raced 7 official races there and finished toward the back of the pack in all of them. Diamond was retired young and won't turn 2 until May 4th. Her sire is Jackslittlething from Ireland and her dam is SE's Lil Money. She is a small female, racing at 60lbs. Diamond was too interested in chasing the cat to be able to live with kitties. She was fine with the small dog she met though. Diamond liked the kids she met and pretty much loves everyone. She is an attention hog and wants all the love from everyone she meets. Diamond is a very confident girl that does what she wants and can be a little pushy about it. She is likely to be the queen of the pack in any group of dogs. She has a little muzzle rub on her nose right now, but that it looks like the hair should grow back. This cute little girl has a TON of personality.

Simba just arrived from a farm in WV. He never made it to the race track and just didn't show much interest in training. He is very young and won't turn 2 until May 3rd. His sire is CET Dirty Dan and his dam is JW's Ladyluck. Simba's litter was named for Lion King. Since he didn't race, Simba never got an official racing weight. He is a mid sized guy weighing in the lower 70s. He initially showed some interest in the cat, but after one correction, he lost all interest. That pretty much sums up his personality. He is super sweet and is a very soft dog that responds well to correction. He isn't an overly confident guy and isn't pushy with people or other dogs. Just a gentle boy and pretty calm for such a young guy. Simba passed his small dog test easily too. He isn't shy and has been calmly friendly with adults and children.
