Display Team doing their thing
« Thread Started on Jul 25, 2012, 1:15pm »

As they have done for a few years now, Greyhound Walks Display Team continue to go out and about to shows and fetes to help promote the rehoming of retired/rescued Greyhounds and Lurchers 8-)

They go out in cool, rainy weather ....... Cressing Village Fete

and they go out in warm, dry weather ... Old Deanery Care Village

Before and after the displays the dogs help do "Test Drives" and take people for little strolls around (if the weather isn't too wet/hot etc) which is especially good for people and children who, for whatever reason, would love a dog but can't have one.

At the Care Village they walked around to let the residents and their guests fuss the dogs and they were very popular.

These ladies, gentlemen & hounds do an absolutely splendid job of dispelling the many misconceptions that others may have about rehoming Greyhounds and Lurchers and are great Ambassadors for Greyhound Walks.

The hounds were great to watch - Teign makes you laugh - and I also like the choice of music - from my era! - particularly The Kinks and The Rolling Stones. Looking forward to seeing them live - perhaps on August 12th?
