he is still with his trainer so no pictures by GAP

he has been tested for little dogs and cats, from what the girl said it was at another foster home, not gap geadquarters.

the trainer will bring him to gap headquarters next wednesday and hand him over.

i will then take charge of him and for some weeks he will need to be aclimatised to life out in the real world.

take him walking where he will learn new smells, new surfaces (roads, paths, sand), people and animals.

i will take him to the local shopping center on quiet days.

and get used to living in a house.

slippery floors will be the main concern, and the 3 steps from outside to the front door.

try to train him to sit, stay and drop.

they say hes very placid and laid back, didnt bother when introduced to cats. took no notice.

the girl said they think he will pass fine from the reports hes had.

i will need to take him back to adelaide for his green collar test in a few weeks, 3 - 6 is normal.

i tried searching his racing name 'flying double' for a picture but so far nothing definite.

i did notice in his breed record he has a 'dyna double one'

FOO was a dyna dog.

That's real nice, David. I'm sure you'll be very happy together. I see a lot of ppl in my neck of the woods out walking their rescue Greyhounds. They're very elegant creatures. The Greyhounds, I mean, lol.

He's by Dyna Double One who won over a million dollars in prize money running around the 500 metre races

which has the toughest opposition so has great breeding as he's a progency of Barcia Bale who has won over

fifty million dollars through his sire line.

Thanks for taking another retired greyhound into your life and I'm sure he will make you proud.

Re: Hi, my names LEYROY

go-tazz — Fri, 31 Jan 2020 05:43:21 GMT

Looks like he retired due to being injured in his last race which he failed to finish as he was pulling up and was

tailed of in the 2nd last race so they didn't push him further and did the right thing to retire him.

The last race he won on the 1/5/19 he flogged them by over 8 lengths.

Now he can just rest,relax and enjoy life with you.
