Extractions: var so = new SWFObject("images/topanim.swf", "movie", "532", "87", "6"); so.write("flashcontent"); An average greyhound normally weighs between 65 to 75 pounds. The greyhound is the fastest breed of dog. It can reach a top speed of 45 miles per hour and can average more than 30 miles per hour for distances up to one mile. Throughout history, greyhounds have been bred to hunt by outrunning their prey. They were not intended to be solitary hunters, but to work with other dogs. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt rated greyhounds first among all animals as their pets and hunters of choice. Their favorite hounds were known to have been mummified and buried along with them. As proof, pictures of these greyhounds can be found etched on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs. The greyhound is the only canine mentioned in the Holy Scripture. It is cited in Proverbs 30:29-31. In early Arabian culture, the birth of a greyhound ranked second only in importance to the birth of a son. So admired was the greyhound that it was the only dog they permitted to share their tents and ride atop their camels.

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Sled-dog racing Jump to: navigation search A ten-dog team of Seppala Siberian Sleddogs in tandem hitch on a frozen Mud Lake, a small lake west of Lake Laberge and the Klondike Highway Sled dog racing (sometimes termed dog sled racing ) is a winter dog sport most popular in the Arctic regions of the United States Canada Russia , and some European countries . It involves the timed competition of teams of sleddogs that pull a sled with the dog driver or musher standing on the runners. The team completing the marked course in the least time is judged the winner. A sled dog race was a demonstration sport at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York and again at the Olympics in Oslo , but it did not gain official event status. Sled dogs, known also as sleighman dogs, sledge dogs, or sleddogs, are a highly trained dog type that are used to pull a dog sled , a wheel-less vehicle on runners, over snow or ice, by means of harnesses and lines. Sled dog races include "sprint" races over relatively short distances of 4 to 25 miles, mid-distance races from 28 to 200 miles, or long-distance races of 200 to over 1000 miles. Sprint races frequently are two or three-day events with heats run on successive days with the same dogs over the same course. Mid-distance races are either heat races of 14 to 80 miles per day, or continuous races' of 100 to 200 miles. (These categories are informal and may overlap to a certain extent.) Long-distance races may be continuous or stage races, in which participants run a different course each day, usually from a central staging location.

Extractions: Today's Globe Local Politics Opinion ... Local June 10, 2007 Greyhound racing opponents said yesterday they would launch their third campaign for a statewide ban, setting the stage for a debate between those who believe the dogs are treated cruelly and those who say banning the races would hurt an industry that employs thousands of people. The Committee to Protect Dogs has $50,000 in seed money to begin collecting petition signatures to get a racing ban on the 2008 ballot, said Carey Thiel , executive director of Grey2K USA , one of the advocacy groups that make up the committee. Advocates for greyhounds managed to get a similar measure on the ballot in 2000, but it lost by a narrow margin. A campaign to get the measure on the ballot in 2006 stalled when the state's highest court ruled that the wording of the proposal was invalid. "Today is the first page of the final chapter of the greyhound debate," Thiel said at a meeting of about 30 volunteers that included representatives of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Animal Rescue League of Boston, and the Massachusetts Council of Churches. "This will be the final battle," he said. "I don't know how it will come out, but one side or the other will score a decisive victory this time."

Extractions: Greyhound Dog Racing rules The noble greyhound - a brief history. Greyhounds were first introduced to America in the 18th century to help farmers control the jackrabbit population. As time went by, the farmers started to conduct some form of competitive greyhound racing which evolved into the greyhound track racing as we know it today. The origin of the greyhound is quite old, possibly dating back thousands of years. The Pharaohs rated them first among all animals as both pets and hunters. Images of the early greyhound can be seen etched on walls of ancient Egyptian tombs. In Arabian culture at that time, the birth of a greyhound ranked nearly as high as the birth of a son. In Persia, Rome and Greece, the greyhound enjoyed similar standing. Greyhound racing in England was first established for the English nobility and could not be enjoyed by other citizens. In 1014 King Canute of England enacted the Forest Laws, which stated that only noblemen could own and hunt with greyhounds. The elegance and beauty of this most noble animal is a sight to behold. Additionally, at the end of their racing career the greyhounds easily adapt to the life of a loving pet and have become the pet of choice among an increasing number of pet lovers.

http://www.neuroxl.com/dog_racing_software.htm

Extractions: HOME WHITE PAPERS DOWNLOAD ORDER ... SUPPORT APPLICATION Another area in which neural networks excel is in the prediction of dog races. By providing a neural network with historical information on dogs, such as speed, positions during previous races, and earnings, the networks can use their advanced pattern matching capabilities to predict the outcome of future races. Dog races are influenced by a host of complex factors (sometimes up to 50 variables) that are often interrelated. While traditional methods of forecasting have great difficulty with such large data sets, neural networks have no such problems, quickly discovering relevant patterns and trends and producing accurate predictions. NeuroXL Predictor and Clusterizer are both add-ins to Microsoft Excel that harness the power of artificial intelligence for forecasting and clustering tasks. They are well-suited to predicting the outcome of dog races and other sporting events. Data simply has to be provided to the software in Excel spreadsheet form. The software does the work of building the neural network and generating the predictions or clusterings. Neural networks are extremely well suited to predicting the outcome of dog racing events since they can determine patterns and trends in large multi-variable data sets. They can also make predictions when faced with incomplete or non-linear data, which is often the case when dealing with historical dog racing data.

Greyhound Racing - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
The supporters of dog racing believe that legal racing, as an industry similar to that of Australia of Great Britain, would cause hunting to eventually stop.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyhound_racing

Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search "Dog racing" redirects here. For other uses, see Dog racing (disambiguation) Several greyhounds before a race. Greyhound racing is the sport of racing greyhounds . The dogs chase a lure (traditionally an artificial hare or rabbit ) on a track until they arrive at the finish line. The one that arrives first is the winner. In many countries, greyhound racing is purely amateur and conducted for enjoyment. In other countries (particularly the UK, US, Ireland, Australia, Spain, China and Mexico), greyhound racing is part of the gambling business, similar to although far less profitable than horse racing . There is some popular concern in the aforementioned countries regarding the well-being of the dogs; the effectiveness of industry efforts to address these concerns is a topic of some debate. A greyhound adoption movement has arisen to assist retired racing dogs in finding homes as pets. Modern greyhound racing has its origins in coursing . The first recorded attempt at racing greyhounds on a straight track was made beside the Welsh Harp reservoir
