It’s a boy!

Yesterday was the pup draw for the Dave the Dog x Flying Tan Time litter in which we own one puppy. There were 8 puppies, with the A pup already given to the previous owner of Tan Time as part of her sale to Team Greyhound. The pup draw is done randomly…the owners who have purchased a puppy are sent an email with the order in which we can choose a letter. When it’s your turn, you choose a letter from the ones still available and send an email with your choice to the entire owner list and then it’s up to the next person on the list. You don’t know the color or sex of any puppy until the choices have been made. Obviously, this is to keep the draw as fair and level as possible. (For those not familiar with greyhound tattoo’s, puppies are tattoo’d by the age of 3 months with a unique litter number in one ear and the birth month/year/and a letter in the other ear.)

With our first pup draw, I chose “B” for my maiden name “Brown.” This time around we chose “F” – as in FAST! It turns out F corresponds with the only black male in the litter, which is perfect for us! We love the black dogs and to own a black, male Dave puppy is just awesome.

We’ve got some pictures of the litter, but I’m not sure which (if any) of the black pups is our black male. We won’t choose a name for several more months, so for now our boy will just be called F Puppy (unless/until I think of a good call name!). We already have a definitely first choice racing name picked out, which we’ll reveal when the paperwork is processed by the NGA.

Ahhhhh…the life of a greyhound puppy!

I just love the expression on this red puppy’s face!
