Link farming
It's starting again....
Suggested links to remove:
- Greyhound Adoption Program, South Australia, Australia
- Greyhounds as Pets NSW
- The Greyhound Adoption Program, Victoria, Australia
The above links are all to individual adoption groups (Rather than group directories or general information pages). Pokey little puppy (talk) 04:07, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Behavior of adopted greyhounds
Someone added a large block of text about behavior of adopted greys, and asked in their comment if it should be its own article. I've gone through and edited it substantially, including cutting large sections. Those sections should probably be moved (at least in content if not text) to either the general greyhound article or greyhound racing. Some of it I also removed since this article is an overview of adoption, not an adoption manual. More editing is still needed.
The removed text follows:

Incorrect Info
"At the age of three months, puppies receive tattoos in their ears; the left ear is the individual litter registration number, and the right ear is a code for the month, year, and order in which the animals were tattooed."
This isn't always correct anyway, as greyhounds in the UK only have the regestration number in their left ear.
"Although possessing long legs, greyhounds do not like to step or jump over objects."
Again- not always. My greyhound loves to jump over fences and bounds in the air whenever there's a cat about...
Significant edits Nov 2006
I've been concerned by the movement of this article toward being and adoption guide. So I took some time to do some heavy editing, removing some information that I consider correct, but I'm well aware is not NPOV. I made several small changes, but I significantly edited the section on Behavior of adopted greyhounds . Let me be clear, that much of the information I removed is good advice in my option, but some of it goes to your philosophy about caring for animals. That makes this kind of information inherently not NPOV. To review the changes you can see the diff in the article history. --Ahc 03:47, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
External Links
It seems to me that the list of adoption groups has gotten out of hand. That section is slowly becoming a link farm for the growing number of groups out there. Seems like we should cut that back, and perhaps provide links to 1 or 2 sources that provide information on adoption groups. Thoughts? --Ahc 14:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
