What is the Greyhound-List?

The Greyhound-l is a mailing list devoted to the Greyhound breed. We prefer to remain non-denominational, and we welcome all Greyhound owners, breeders, exhibitors, rescue and adoption groups, racers or anyone with an interest in the Greyhound breed.

Our primary goal is to act as a support resource for new adopters and owners. Our secondary goal is to help facilitate the placement of Greyhounds into homes....to this end, we encourage adoption groups and the Greyhound Underground Railroad (GUR) to use us as a networking tool. Our third goal is to provide a place where people can share information on medical, behavioral, performance and care issues. Lastly, we are here to bring the "greater" Greyhound world together - to create a sense of community - to educate - to share our joys and sorrows.

The Greyhound-l is not a forum for those who frequent dog tracks and wish to discuss the relative merits of tracks, betting, handicapping and other items of that nature. If you are into that, there are other resources out there where you can compare notes and betting stories.

The Greyhound-l does not exist for you to air your personal agendas....whether pro or con. We're not here so you can publicly flame other adoption groups, AKC breeders, pet owners, or other individuals or entities. We understand that the Greyhound breed and Greyhound racing are intertwined and the issues surrounding greyhound racing are complex and controversial. This controversy necessarily excites a great deal of emotion - but the complexity makes it even more important that we discuss it carefully and calmly. In any case, there is a very broad range of opinions regarding this issue on this list. Out of respect for that diversity of opinion, we ask that those wishing to discuss these issues refrain from personal attacks, inflammatory rhetoric, and repeated attempts at "conversion". After all, regardless of which side of the fence each of us is on, we're all here because we share a love for Greyhounds.
