Did anyone see this? It's about a couple who have 2 greyhounds which are out of control. It was broadcast on channel 4 on the 26th but you can view it on 4 On Demand (which is well worth getting btw). The dogs are nice but they aren't ex-racers, they have had them since they were pups. They are out of control t...

Hi there and welcome to the forum. Always nice to greet new members. It's even better to hear of new converts to greyhounds. They are the best!
