If you’re looking to buy a greyhound racing fanatic anything, traditional sports-inspired gifts might not work, which is why we’ve compiled a handy list of unique gifts for the greyhound racing lover in your life!
The best gift you can give a greyhound racing fan is a day at the races. Buy them a ticket, give them some betting money and let them choose the best dogs for the races! They’ll love a relaxing day at the races doing what they love best, while also enjoying your company. You might also want to buy them a few drinks and lunch and you’ve got the perfect gift ever! But don’t forget to take pictures to remember the special day, which you can later use to print out and create more gifts for them.
If you can’t buy them a day at the races, the next best thing is a greyhound racing canvas print of a special day they had there or even of their favorite greyhound to bet on. There are several ways to print these canvases, either using your own pictures that you take at the races or opting for some online to use for the canvas. They make a great addition to man caves or offices of those who are a fan and can be totally customized! You choose the size and can even add in quotes or different filters to create your greyhound canvas prints masterpiece!
The ultimate gift for any greyhound racing enthusiast is a retired greyhound racing dog! These dogs can only race for a certain amount of years and then after they are either used for breeding or are adopted out to loving families who would like to share their home with a retired greyhound racer. Greyhounds are great pets and each year, those that are retired are rehomed by their owners, trainers or some rehoming charity, so you can easily find one that needs a good home. Owning a piece of the sport they love will make them appreciate it even more and you’ll be giving the gift of companionship since owning a pet is known to increase one’s quality of life for the better!
When you think of sports in the UK, football immediately comes to mind as the top sport of choice. But greyhound racing is just as popular, with 23 licensed stadiums around Britain and several independent ones in the area. Greyhound racing is just like horse races, except with greyhound dogs!
Greyhounds are a fascinating breed of dogs that are born to race since chasing an artificial hare is innate to a greyhound. Greyhound racing trainers simply channel that innate ability to make sure the dog is kept happy, healthy and fit, while still being mentally stimulated. Greyhounds are sight hounds and have the body for speed, which is why they are so good at racing. The excitement you feel when the gun goes off and all the greyhounds start to run is exhilarating! Seeing that mechanical lure zoom off as the greyhounds chase it is enough to get your heart thumping in excitement, which is probably why so many find it to be a fascinating sport. And the fact that you can win money if you’re lucky just heightens the excitement of the race!
