More about Allen

  • Why Allen started breeding

    I realized the need for intentional greyhound breeding as I watched the racing circuit decline over the past few years. “I did not wish for the 200-year-old bloodlines of the American Racing Greyhound to become extinct or for others to miss the experience of a lifetime having the companionship of these intelligent, loving, loyal, 45mph couch potatoes.”
