My Greys and other dogs

This gallery depicts my own Greyhounds, Trip, (Green Limousine) 8 y.o. adopted March, 2012.
Tom, (Indeed I Am) 6 y.o., adopted 24-9-08
Hilary (Proven Rumour) 10 y.o. RIP 11-11-01/4-11-11
Nero,12 y.o., RIP 7-12-98/11-7-11.
Honey, (Bach's Passion)12 y.o. RIP Oct. 97- Dec. 09.
Lucy 12 y.o., RIP, Feb.2005/1-9-07.
My non Grey, Daisy, RIP, July 1995 - Dec. 2006.

as well as the foster Greyhounds who have come and stayed a while. My Greyhounds were adopted through GAP in Victoria, Australia. In my photos I've tried to capture the very essence of what makes a Greyhound. They are true athletes, and I attempt to show their beauty, speed, and power as they run, enjoying the freedom of our rural property and dam. There is also a wonderful gentleness, acceptance, elegance, dignity and calmness within each dog, resulting from thousands of generations of breeding. They are truly a Royal and remarkable breed. I hope I convey those qualities in my photos.

Hi Bea
Got your message and logged in to view your photos - they are magnificent! Paddy is heading back tomorrow after his holiday with me, but when I get my next foster (or forever) grey, we'll come for a visit and maybe a photo session. What a fantastic talent you have! And what a wonderful life for your beautiful dogs.

Bea,
Forgot to mention that my wife Connie would appreciate them also as they appear they would not shed a lot of hair as our Aussie Sheperd does now. :O)
Pete Rodgers 25-Sep-2008 19:58
Bea, such a beautiful compiling of images. I never have made it through it but it is so evident a labor of love. I dearly wish I lived where I could have a couple. Such beauty and am sure in time they would bond to become loving pets.
Rachael 22-Sep-2008 02:16
Absolutely MAGNIFICENT!
Watching the greys in action and in their element is awsome.
They also look elegant,beautiful and almost spirtual.
Ali Majdfar 14-Jul-2008 09:56
Fabulous captures, lovely. GMV
Guest 07-Jun-2008 13:52
I absolutely love your photo gallery. It just takes me away to a different place where I can leave the stresses of the day. I think you capture the dogs personalities beautifully. They are so lucky to have such a great life.

Great gallery! I have a lurcher - people always think she's a grey - but you'de never mistake her for one if you know the breed. She looks most like Lucy, but younger. Your dogs seem to have a lovely life. V

This Gallery is lovely. You have truly captured their spirit. I am sorry for your loss of Lucy. I recently lost my own companion and I know how hard it is.

Thank you for your big heart and thank you very much for sharing this amazing gallery with us !! Greys are my fav dog-breed, unfortunately you don't see them often in Switzerland...
Warmly Irene

Bea, I have checked all your photos out and was close to tears seeing the greys just enjoying their life with you....i reckon they don't miss the track at all.

What lucky dogs they are to have you and a wonderful property where they can run like they are made to do. I have a grey, Frankie, and the only time he gets to run is when I take him to the slipping track . I wish I could take him somewhere else.

Really great photos!!!!!!!!!
Margaret and Poppy 06-Mar-2007 10:54
Happy 12 Birthday, Lucy.
Debbie Stahre 01-Feb-2007 22:55

DB Hans 29-Jan-2007 06:21
What an incredible gallery of images! Your dogs are so lucky to be with such a caring person. If I was a grey I know where I would want to end up! Your action shots are some of the best I have ever seen. Congratulations!
Tania 29-Dec-2006 00:17
Bea, I just love your photos! The dogs look fantastic. You make me want to buy a new camera!!! ;-) Cheers, Tania
Marg Moran 10-Dec-2006 16:53

Guest 31-Oct-2006 02:05
Wow, I just love all the photos of the greyhounds running free, and swimming, too! What a treat. Lucy looks a lot like my girl Jazz! Daisy is a very pretty girl, also. Wonderful job.

Bea, you have captured the essence of these magnificent animals quite beautifully.

Ex-Kennelboy. 19-Sep-2006 13:48
I once worked in a greyhound kennels for 3 years, we had 180 dogs, and killed and replaced about 50 - 60 each year. It was heartbreaking for the staff having to collect 4 to 6 dogs for their last 25 yards journey, all waggy tails and big smiles because they thought they were going walkies. Champions, winners and has beens, they all ended up at the vets, then in a sack, the track managers were heartless. So thank you from an ex-kennelboy.
Guest 13-Sep-2006 10:15
These really are lovely Bea. We had a greyhound similar to your Honey. They are wonderful soppy loyal dogs and great company.
Glyn Curtis 03-Sep-2006 02:31
Thanks bea for your comments and it looks like your dogs have alovely life too, great gallery, all the best Glyn.
Liz Bickel 01-Aug-2006 19:01

Larry Danforth, LDStudios 25-Jul-2006 13:02
Great shots. We have two greyhounds and just adore them. Both are rescue dogs and the most loving wonderful friends you could ever find. Great shots of beautiful animals.
Rosemarie Kusserow 25-Jul-2006 09:53
Hi Bea, I enjoyed all the fine shots from these beautiful greyhounds, thanks for sharing, best regards, Rosemarie :o) I vote
Patricia Tomlinson 07-Jul-2006 18:55
Great pictures capturing the essence of the greyhound spirit when allowed space. The happiness is so obvious in all of these canines.

Fine Gallery...got a couple Labs myself...DD
Karin in Askim 12-Jun-2006 22:04
Hallo Bea, you make wonderful photos and I am still just a person that hope to make at least one photo that is as good so someone could tell me THAT one is good ;o).
How good Lucy looks, ja, all three of them look good and Daisy's dip in the "water-bowl" with water all over is greyt ;o).
Klem Karin.
Glenys 12-May-2006 00:54
Great Photos Bea. I envy you your doggies, and your talent. Thank you for taking the lovely photo of Fudge. A greyhound she's not!!
Graham Tomlin 04-May-2006 07:03
nice gallery regards Helen
Margaret 19-Apr-2006 13:03
Some more wonderful photos. I just love that portrait of Lucy (Say"hello" Lucy). She is very photogenic!

Margaret and Poppy.
Karin in Askim. 13-Apr-2006 10:47
Well, Bea, I thought I would have seen something to critisize ;o)but I had no such luck;o). The photos are just magnificent, the dogs just greyt, even Lucy's face looks so satisfied. I got to the wrong site for "letting someone have it" but I got some of the "steam" out ;o)looking at the running greys. As you see I'm back and still nothing ....;o( Well, well, I can take it ;o).
GaryWK 10-Apr-2006 12:00
Enjoyed seeing your pups, some great action shots.
Margaret and Poppy 10-Apr-2006 05:16
It's wonderful to see the absolute joy on those beautiful faces. I also love the way Lucy's coat blends into the background.
Bea. 10-Apr-2006 05:12
Karin? What are you doing here? How wonderful.
Karin in Askim 09-Apr-2006 21:27
Look out! and Just stay put, we know where we're going! And of cause the rest, I can only see one fault, I didn't do them ;o, Bea, they are just wonderful photos of even more wonderful greys and Daisys. STORARTET we say in Norway when we enjoy something.
Karin in Askim.
