Dog Fancy was written for us, this month! :D

TinyAlbinoDancer · 11-01-2004, 10:25 PM

I laughed when I got my Dog Fancy issue this month, as it covered alot of topics we've been talking about here- including designer mixes, and Siberian Huskies.

It features the Westie, for anyone interested.

GreenLeaf, I have to tell you, I think it was another sign... Next month's feature breed is Greyhounds, and there was a big article in this month's issue about your dog being a blood donor (I'm looking into fostering from HemoPet, and some- maybe all- their dogs are retired blood donors

).

Good stuff!

GreenleafGreyhound · 11-01-2004, 11:37 PM

Really!!! *STILL cursing under breath* I never got my issue!!!! What the heck!? I just renewed my subscription though my niece's stupid magazine drive...those things always take like a month to go through *sigh*.

Yeah, I've heard of Hemopet. I went through all the adoption groups existing in California during my adoption group hunt. I never really delved into the So Cal groups, so your guess is as good as mine regarding Hemopet. You should really re-join GT once you get the duckies in a row and your rifle ready (jk jk

). We have a few blood donors and you'll soon find out that Greyhounds were made for donating blood. They have a unique build that allows them to pump their own weight in blood within seconds and I believe they have more red blood cells(?). I don't remember clearly, but it's in RRGfD. *muttering* I've been waiting for years for Greyhounds or Pekingeses as the featured breed! Grrr, they better send that issue!!!!

TinyAlbinoDancer · 11-02-2004, 12:41 AM

One of the GT members e-mailed me to voice her support privately- her and her husband adopted a Grey from Hemopet. The article mentioned Greyhounds being perfect because their blood is universally accepted (is that the right terminology? Best I can do right now, I'm tired! lol)

I've been getting Dog Fancy for years ('97? '99?), and the Greyhound has been featured once before. I was just looking through that issue the other day.

I don't remember appreciating the article very much, so I don't know how good it was. Never seen the Peke on the front, and can't remember seeing it sub-featured at all! I should look through my mags again, though, and see if I can find any with the Peke. I'd happily send it to you, as I just have piles of Dog Fancys accumulating. lol Hopefully your issues will start arriving soon!

Lil'Paws · 11-02-2004, 03:31 AM

That Great. I hope the Greyhounds get the recognition they deserve. I'll be waiting to see.

If they live at a high altitude, they'll have more red blood cells than those living at sea level.

I got my issue a few weeks ago. They always have some interesting articles, but in this issue, they had the "Designer Breed" thing, and they interviewed IDIOTS

. "They're in demand right now, so why not?"

But I was so excited they featured the Westie, which is one of my FAVORITE breeds. Besides, my neighbors have two of them, and they're not very good at watching them--they don't have a fence and the dogs run in the street. SOOO, I am either copying the article or buying them a copy of the December issue and highlighting the part where it says, "A fence is a must for Westie owners" and giving it to them. Maybe THEN they'll get a stupid fence or at LEAST a dog run. I think I'll find a good trainer and give them a card, too....they're dogs are SO untrained.

"As long as people are buying them"... GAH! Idiots is right!

Rip's Girl · 11-02-2004, 11:56 AM

I sent in a subscription renewal awhile back (Don't remember just how long it's been.. several months??) and I still haven't gotten one single magazine.

TinyAlbinoDancer · 11-02-2004, 01:07 PM

You need to contact 'em Rip. I think that happened to me once after renewing, and I believe I didn't get anything for a couple months, then I got them all at once- if I remember correctly.

Don't normally have any problems though.

Rip's Girl · 11-02-2004, 01:57 PM

Ugh.. I must be the flunkie of subscribing to magazines! Every time I renew ANY subscription, I don't get any magazines for the first 2-3 months..

gaddylovesdogs · 11-02-2004, 02:13 PM

I just recently subscribed to Dog Fancy (June or July). I recieved first my August issue and then my July the day after! I was like, "Hey, I should be getting a JULY issue first, not and AUGUST issue! lol

GreenleafGreyhound · 11-02-2004, 10:04 PM

Yeah I know. That happened to me for awhile. I'd get a September issue and then a November issue the day after. And then when I renew, it takes months!

That's really interesting! Ok, I have RRGfD in my lap and here's what it says

Quote:

The Greyhound's heart is slightly bigger than the hearts of other dogs, and it has a thicker left wall.
The cardiac output of a Greyhound increases by five times during a race whic means that, in just one minute, a Greyhound pumps his own body weight in blood.
The Greyhound's blood pressure is higher than that of other breeds.
In other breeds, 7.2% of their body weight is blood. In Greyhounds, 11.4% of the body weight is blood.
The Greyhound has more red blood cells than other breeds.

Reading this just renews my love for the breed

TAD, this post has made me really interested in Hemopet, now. Do you have a website because I think that they do not have a site? I never looked into Hemopet; just skimmed through the name Lol. Anyways, any time you feel like it's right to foster, please don't hesitate to come back to GT. They're really a comical, knowledgable bunch once you get past some minor hostility. Luckily for me, they were nice 99.9% of the time.

GreenleafGreyhound · 11-02-2004, 11:42 PM

Hmm...That's odd. I've never seen such chubby looking Greyhounds. Are these dogs fresh off the track or have they been fostered? A few of them look like the right weight, but the majority look like they've been retired for a long time if you know what mean

I don't mean to be rude, but that picture of Hogan is appalling. Unless he came from a family who made him that way, or he's just naturally chubby (but even then...), or there was a special situation, imo, NO Greyhound should look like that! Beautiful markings, though

Nice program, too.

Rip's Girl · 11-02-2004, 11:51 PM

They do look quite overweight for greyhounds...
