I'm not mourning the loss of greyhound racing in any way shape or form. But I will say Greyhounds and retired racing Greyhounds seem pretty different. Most of the behavior that defines mine is a result of racing, for better or for worse. Mine didn't even know how to bark until he went to a dog park for a few months, and to this day it's exceptionally rare to hear him bark or roo The way they're brought up around other dogs for most of their lives is also somewhat unique and contributes to their demeanor - I don't think it's any sort of loss compared to what Greyhound racing was doing to dogs though. To this day I get people complaining to me about my dog being skinny... he's 15 lbs over the weight I got him at (75 lbs from 60 lbs). Pictures of him from when his was racing are depressing, despite constantly being happy and inquisitive today not a single one shows him as anything but scared and/or disinterested.
