Greyhounds in Cornwall
People often comment that greyhound owners must have to walk for miles, labouring under the misguided impression that greyhounds need a lot of exercise – nothing could really be further from the truth.
Of course they do need exercise, but two 20-minute walks a day is quite adequate. Greyhounds are sprinters, so somewhere where he can run flat-out for a few minutes, a gentle walk and, most importantly a nice soft bed for a good snooze is a greyhounds idea of heaven.
The most important thing in life for Blue (left) was his bed. His bed was better than all the walks and all the Bonios in the world.
Casey (right) loves watching rabbits but given half a chance he would be off catching them - but his bed is the next thing on his list. You can't beat a good snooze after all that hard work watching rabbits!
There aren't any greyhound racing tracks in Cornwall, and this is probably why there aren't quite so many greyhounds this far down west, in Penzance, although the greyhound rescue organizations are still active in this part of the world.
