The Greyhound is a breed of sighthound that has been primarily bred for coursing game and racing, and the breed has also recently seen a resurgence in its popularity as a pedigree show

dog and family pet. A combination of long, powerful legs, deep chest, flexible spine, and slim build allows it to reach average race speeds in excess of 18 metres per second (59 feet per second) or 63 kilometres per hour (39 mph).. At maximum acceleration, a greyhound reaches a full speed of 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph) within 30 metres or six strides from the boxes, traveling at almost 20 metres per second for the first 250 metres of a race. The only other animal that can accelerate faster over a short distance is the cheetah, which can reach speeds of 109 kilometres per hour (68 mph) over 3-4 strides from a standing start. Description
Appearance
Males are usually 71 to 76 centimetres (28 to 30 in) tall at the withers and weigh around 27 to 40 kilograms (60 to 88 lb). Females tend to be smaller with shoulder heights ranging from 68 to 71 centimetres (27 to 28 in) and weights from less than 27 to 34 kilograms (60 to 75 lb). There are approximately thirty recognized color forms, of which variations of white, brindle, fawn, black, red and blue (gray) can appear uniquely or in combination. Anatomy
The key to the speed of a Greyhound can be found in its light but muscular build, largest heart, and highest percentage of fast-twitch muscle of any breed, the double suspension gallop and the extreme flexibility of the spine. "Double suspension rotary gallop" describes the fastest running gait of the Greyhound in which all four feet are free from the ground in two phases, contracted and extended, during each full stride.

4 beautiful girls at The Barn Animal Rescue Newtownards who will need foster or forever homes. Izzy is now fully vaccinated and has had extensive dental work (she’s hardly any teeth left bless her) so we’d love to get her into a home while she gains weight and recovers enough for spaying etc. The Barn will continue to pay for vet treatment while these girls are in foster but these sensitive souls never do well in noisy kennels 😢 Izzy is a sweet and gentle girl, nervous of the big wide world atm but very affectionate and loves a cuddle 🥰 .If anyone can help with fostering please contact The Barn Animal Rescue .

Mazie is looking for a new postcode … This is due to unforeseen circumstances with her owners so please keep any opinions to yourself .If you would like to give Maisie a new home please contact the page . Please Shsre . Some info from her owners below .

Maize is a gentle-natured Lurcher 4 yrs old with a heart full of love. She’s not a working dog — she lives for her home comforts, snuggles, and curling up on a soft blanket. She’s a laid-back, affectionate girl who loves nothing more than being close to her humans.

Maize is:
• Great with older children
• Fantastic with other animals, including cats
• Happy living with other dogs
• Friendly with everyone she meets — she truly loves everyone and everything!

The only thing she can’t resist is a squirrel chase — they’re her one true weakness!

We are sharing this fund raiser for one of our adopted dogs stitch .Poor stitch had a fall and now they think there is something pressing on his spinal cord . If each and everyone of our followers could even donate a £1 (and we have over 10,000 followers )to try and help stitch it would be truely amazing .We wish Mr stitch and his family well and that everything works out ok .
Both Ciara snd myself had something similar happen to a greyhound that we had My girl was called Lady and Ciara’s was Princess the vets just suggested putting to sleep but we both gave our dogs a chance and thankfully just with medication ,patience snd time both our dogs walked again . Good luck Stitch

Iʼm raising money to Stitch the greyhound spinal surgery . Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

It turned out to be a beautiful day with the weather on our side. With a lot of our regulars on holidays or not able to make it this time we didn’t have our usual big turn out but it was still busy enough and nice to see everyone again. Thanks to Bernie and Margaret for keeping everyone topped up with teas, coffees and buns. Thanks to Kathleen also for being our number one supporter and always there to help out with the merchandise tables.
