Hi,
I'm looking to build a run for a retired greyhound. Any advice on area needed, type/height of fencing, surface etc??. Have plenty of space so thats not a problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

I've found that as they get older they are happy to lay in the sun and dream of days gone by. My old dog (11yo) is happy to go into a 60m run through the day and just poke around. He is always at the gate at feed time at night and goes back into his old race kennel with the other race dogs for his feeds and overnight. He still goes for the odd ride in the trailer or just a ride in the station wagon.
