Dog racing is alright as well.

There's a lot of bad treatment of the dogs, though.
Quite a few unscrupulous people out there. Once the dog is retired, it gets dumped somewhere. And since they have to have identifying tattoos in their ears, some of them get their ears chopped off first.

There are charities that look after them. My auntie has a rescued saluki. They're alright dogs but fucking hell they're boring.

I have a lurcher
which is a bit of a pikey dog. My newsfeed is almost entirely made up of photos of people's lurchers/greyhaounds/salukis/etc

Lurcher's are alright. They're usually a bit more interesting because of the whole 'other dog' element.
My other aunt has one that came from some gypsies. She's pretty much a collie with a short running dog coat. She's great.
