I'm glad someone else caught that comment. I actually thought it to myself before Bill made the comment aloud.

Bill, I think you need to get a couple polo mallets. Besides bringing them down to the local pub (since they make great "show and tell"), you can use them to wing balls across that field for your dogs to retrieve. Never you mind that the ball is just about as big as the dog....8^) 8^) 8^)

ps - Something tells me that if this works out, you're going tot need a bigger supply of turkey bacon. You'll be having to hand out a piece for every retrieved ball...I know dogs and they hate to drop the ball once they've sunk their teeth into it!

We have a lurcher (greyhound cross) and 2 dalmatians...NOW they love a good walk! (All 3 are rescue dogs...great move)

Sorry for going off-topic.
Rob, Sorry, but it was a bit tongue in cheek. I know what they are like, being described as "40mph coach potatoe's". Having said that it has already been suggested that we take them on a lead whilst riding the Seg's, and that was my daughter.

Well you could always attempt to teach your Greyhounds to glide. They are big enough and with proper training could acieve it! Just make sure there is no one around I don't think the Greyhounds would be very good at turning!

They are very good at turning, but only to the left!

Trouble is I think they may want the purple key as even 12mph is slow for a Greyhound.

Yes indeed and they may start tinkering just to find some sort of electronic speed limiter similar to a car's governor (to my best knowledge they will not find one) and you will most likely end up with a broken seg! Speaking of greyhounds are you allowed to have a Segway on a Greyhound Bus?

Good question. Typing "greyhound" into the above Search feature on the menu bar gave half a dozen relevant posts. Half of these were about dogs, but the other half talked about shippment by bus, and http://forums.segwaychat.com/showthread.php?t=12139 was the most relevant of them. One post also cited a Greyhound Bus web page of prohibited items which included "batteries" but wasn't very specific.

Very timely post as we have a client coming in who has two large dogs and is looking at a Segway to help with the exercise routine.

I have had Weimeraners, Miniature Pinschers, and Yorkies. Love them all...am at a stage now that the Yorkies (especially miniature Yorkies) fite well into my lifestyle.

Default Running with hounds

My wife and I take our dogs (1 beagle, 1 bassett hound) out and while she walks one I run the other one down the block and back. Only takes about 4 blocks to totally wear them out.
