Some people have asked me to upload the video of Axel racing. I finally managed to convert it and upload to youtube. I didn't post it to get into a discussion about the morality of racing - I only posted it for those who've asked to see him race. He's in the orange vest in the first race (my wedding day) and the stripey vest in the second (his last race: bonfire night 2009). Hope you enjoy seeing him in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJILbGvCEhM
Thats brilliant Melanie , no wonder he wants a rest now and again now ! Must be good to see him in his former life ! ;-)
Yeah, it was lovely to see I know, Axel is just off mooching around, bless I hardly believe it's the same dog who sleeps all the time!
Wow!! He was fast!! He looked so beautiful running. Must be lovely to see his history. I wish I knew about Guinness. Lovely to see xxx
Thank you. It's lovely to see how he raced, I like the bits at the end with him just mooching around, the ring leader of the others and you can see his personality Does Guinness have tattoos? I phoned the Irish studbook with his tatts and then became detective from there! Thank you, he was brilliant If Jobie has tattoos you could possible find some videos like this I know, I'm exhausted watching him! Thanks He's poetry in motion - I love seeing him do a lap like this for the fun of it in a field, rarely happens but when the mood takes him...whoosh!
He's super fast! I've never seen a greyhound race. They all look happy enough to be doing it. What an awsome dog you have!
he was very fast and looked like he was enjoying himself i have to admit when i read the title to your thread and you had on the darkside, i thought you meant racing being the darkside wasnt until i clicked the link i realised that was his racing name
Ha ha, yeah, his name could be taken either way! I like his racing name, some are a little 'out there' for me, but I like Axel's
