Greytalk - A Forum For Greyhound Lovers

GREYTALK is a valuable forum, linking Greyhound people from around the world with other Greyhound people. Discuss Greyhound-related topics such as health/medical issues, food/dietary issues and training/behavior issues. Have a question? Trust me, you'll find an answer on Greytalk! But remember, your VET is always your best source for health-related issues. Still, Greytalk is a valuable resource and a greyt way to correspond with other Greyhound folks.
