To Ludo, who asked me some text to elaborate on the greyhounds, and for anyone who loves this beautiful ancient art, or want to approach him.

"Since the early twentieth century began to use this qualifier, in Spain, to designate the people who raise, care for and train dogs to devote to running hares in the field, have been nearly 100 years and since then many things would have changed.
galguero The word is not in the dictionary of the Real Academia de la Lengua and therefore I personally think that that is not the ideal word to define people who breed dogs in the field and run, but the word breeder or trainer, us to better define, in the context of society and in sports today. However, I will use the word galguero along the article to try to discern what it means or entails for some and for others within that society. Being
galguero in now means many things, good or bad, depending on where we get information or to moderate the terms of the fans involved. For a sector of society, is abuse, neglect or hanging fruit of the disinformation campaign that some protective began in the early 90's, intending to attack, discredit and abolish hunting hares with dogs. Most of these protective bombard tabloid media with a very small archive of photographs of greyhounds who have been abused or abandoned by God knows who and who, as always, the galgueros disrepute.
Who with a minimum of sentiment or scruples see images of a greyhound hanged and remains unmoved? Who does not hurt that a greyhound has been abused or neglected?. Such people seem to be the key to the feelings and only they can feel repudiated by such acts. But instead of worrying really know from which abused greyhounds, who has been really committed this barbaric act, rush to photograph and send the information to the press, filling parallel lines of hatred and resentment to our hobby. We will not now enter SEPRONA actual data or the last statement of the European Parliament, both very favorable to the sport, but it would be much more profitable that each of us who share this hobby or sport do soul-searching and see what our faults and our virtues.
As mentioned above, perhaps starting with the word that defines us, using the breeder or trainer, we would be comparable to other modalities that prepare animals to physical exertion and competition, such as the mushers or horse trainers races, which would not go very well off if we started calling the "malamuteros" or "gentlemen" as is the case galgueros in our hobby. However
definition or etiology of a word is not as relevant as the background involved. Being a trainer of dogs, in this case field means, among other things, to love dogs so exorbitant, and with them, the two main protagonists of the scene aesthetic that is produced in each run, and there are others the hare and the nature, site of the cast.
In the current situation, the neophytes of this hobby is suspiciously close to it, suffering a trivial dilemma. On one side are attracted by the beauty and satisfaction that is preparing a greyhound and another feel identified by a sector of society that you are treated as potential abuser. It is necessary that both these future fans, as that sector of detractors will learn the reality in this hobby. To this end, the compose qua, we do a lot of ideas and approaches to see where we are and where we want to, which is, to know our shortcomings and try to assimilate while maintaining the virtues overcome.
The first thing to be clear is which of the two modes Galguera, united by the same umbilical cord belong. We can be breeders of greyhounds running hares in the field, without having to compete or we can do the same to compete with other specimens of the same race, set in a federated system, given and constitutional terms. The two modes are very respectable, but each must decide what mode is decanted. What should not be do is separated from one or the other, depending on the interests or special needs.
The competition, as we said, is governed by the CSD, national and regional federations and clubs (of course respecting the measures to be taken in regards to hunting by the CAAC in question), while the form of hunting is legislated exclusively by the CAAC to have skills in environment or in his absence by the ministry of the same name. Both have the same common denominator, greyhounds and hares in the field, but different objectives that we all know and need not narrate. However there are issues that require an analysis that brings out positions, at least a little "comfort" of some fans. Try to reflect on some of them with the desire to change quickly.
The galgueros generally, we know that this is an expensive hobby, starting to look more and more to sports called "elite." Whether you practice one and the other mode (especially in competition) are spending a lot to see running dogs: breeding, feeding, insurance cards, licenses, identification, security in the kennel, transports and sliding are some of the costs posed and that if you add a cost dispensing of relevance to any mortal. Sien But there are still "galgueros" that breed of unorthodox their dogs, throw them to eat the waste and try to refrain from all collateral costs of the hobby. This type of fans not only a relief for our sport but rather an internal threat to us again and again subjected to debate by some of the society that lists equally to everyone.
Secondly, we are often unrealistic fans, and not only careers that envision, but with the same problems we are addressing. I remember a few months ago and had a large number of fans concerned to defend and keep alive the sport but also remember the passivity and indifference with which many others were before the same. It is time to wake up and stop seeing the speck in your neighbor's eye, seeing the attacks of the protective, some political parties and a section of the press, a real problem that requires everyone's help to address and overcome.
Thirdly, it is necessary that we all comply with legislative commitments arising in the fans and of course in the sport. The identification of our animals is essential in the fight against thefts that we suffer, a real scourge Galguera, relying on the tattoo and microchip as bulwarks for the recovery of stolen animals.
Fourthly I would emphasize the "grudge" or rather the lack of interest that some fans have shown towards the federative entities of the competition. They would say that these bodies are those that have promoted, developed and updated to defend the interests of all who run dogs in the field. The Departments of Environment, temporarily occupied by different political parties are not going to defend our sport indefinitely, especially if these councils are occupied one day by the political parties that seek to abolish. That said, it seems interesting, trust, help, and respect the federative bodies that represent us as a solid base of fans who want to endure over time.
The opportunity gives me the yearbook, I have wanted to use to make a brief review of the timeliness of this hobby, with the sole purpose of opening our eyes to all the fans and hopefully we can all pull the rope in the same way some day soon.
With respect and admiration they deserve all galgueros me well, I say goodbye to the only wish that everyone can enjoy this at length heroine who is hunting for hares with greyhounds and their competition. "
