Most greyhounds who race in England are bred in Ireland.  Approximately 23,703 greyhounds were bred in Ireland and 2,952 were bred in Britain for racing in 2008-9.

In Spain, tens of thousands galgos (Spanish greyhounds) are bred indiscriminately annually in the hope of producing one that will become the national coursing champion.

Greyhound Compassion supports small greyhound rescue organisations in Ireland, UK and Spain battling to rescue as many of these poor greyhounds who are abandoned in vast numbers each year.  Greyhound Compassion raises funds for the greyhounds in their care and provides practical help and rehoming referrals where possible.
