Hi Lil,
I have seen quite a bit of racing over the last 6 years & was exposed to my ex (wanna be trainer) & his (shouldn't be trainer) son, who i would do the total opposite from, but i have met a lot of really nice dog people who all have their own little bits of knowledge to impart to willing listeners so i have gleaned a good bit of information to refer to. My sons have also handled dogs a fair bit over this time & their school is running a greyhound training session in sport time every week, i want my sons to see that having racing dogs can be a good experience not an awful stressful time, my sons & myself stopped going to meetings with my ex's son rather quickly due to his attitude & mistreatment of his animals, which i so wish i could prove to those in power.
