Nick
 A former racing dog, Nick ran on the Northern Colorado circuit at Mile High Kennel Club (now known as Wembley) and Cloverleaf. His first race was on 19 July 2000 and, from what we can determine, his last race was on 18 April 2003. That is a long time running for a race dog. He competed in 133 races, winning at Grade A. Here is a chart of his overall performance on the track.
Nick came into our lives by a twist of fate. We were not looking for another greyhound, however, his "adopter" was trying to return him to his adoption group, Rocky Mountain Greyhound Adoption. She had had a baby Nick is an absolutely wonderful hound. He couldn't be better behaved or have a better temperament. He's great in the house and I can leave him inside for many, many hours and he'll not soil the place. He is sweet & kind. He gets along well with the other hounds. Nick would love to lure course and we tried once. However, he seems to have a shoulder injury, which may be why he was retired from racing. The time we let him run, he pulled up lame in the left shoulder. There isn't a title, a prize, or a ribbon worth having if it means a dog being injured or hurt. Nick has been with us now for 5 years, going on 6. He retired in April 2003 and we got him a couple of months later. We were blessed the day that his former adopter didn't realize what a "Saint", Nick truly is. My eternal thanks to Jan for calling me that day and for allowing us to keep Nick.

and, all of the sudden, Nick was "too much trouble". Jan Woll, leader of the adoption group, called me and asked if we could possibly take him until transport back to them could be arranged. "Of course!" came my swift reply. Well, to make a long story short, the dog who was "too much trouble" for one adopter, came here to Dyno-Mutt and he has never left.
