GAP Greys - Wangaratta Show 2009

This is the 10th year that GAP Greyhounds have attended the Wangaratta Agricultural Show, and are now one of the main attractions in there.
It's a perfect set up, the dogs take turns to be out front, laying on blanket covered straw bales so they don't get walked on, and the public can touch and meet them and ask any questions they may have. They other dogs take some time out to rest and display themselves on the cushions and couches. This activity always causes lots of amusement.

This really shows what great pets they make. Including the couch made them look to be well adapted to domestic living.

I'm trying to get caught up, Bea. Don't know if that is possible. But wanted to mention that this is a fine gallery, quite enjoyable.
