He's a whippet and it's just amateur racing, I doubt it could happen in greyhound racing, they take it much more seriously there. I never even would've been allowed to stand/crouch where I was to get that pic. I liked it too, I've just emailed it off to the owner, hope he likes it and doesn't mind being reminded of his mistake.

I like seeing sunlight pics, there's always something relaxing and dreamy about them. Nice floor too, is that oak, in Australia our floor boards are skinnier than those look and usually made out of an Australian hardwood.

Yes - it's oak. It's actually engineered wood, 4mm oak on 12mm plywood. Went for engineered wood because of the underfloor heating (carbon film).

or, in Lola's case, swimming in the loch which she loves as much as running.

I just stumbled on this thread and just had to contribute. Our three GH's allow my Wife and I to live in their house and be at their call 24x7. First time posting so I hope this works out.

Here are a couple. I'm still working on my technique for doing this, Dave Mill (aka Tracknut has been helping me, he's a good friend I've know for many years). First one is Brody and his ball, he's usually got it in his mouth when playing. Next one is him trying to get away from Nikki, another Borzoi who is much faster than big Brody. Brody is my buddy, I'll never have another one like him.

You've got a very good mentor in Tracknut, I wish he was over here so I could get his advice.

smbrj, we can only see Zack, it's a brilliant photo, I immediately thought phwoar! greyhounds in snow! Love to see more.
