How well do you know the sport, or should i say, the trivia.

Your starter ( of ten ) is

1) Why the name Greyhound, when you hardly see a grey one ?

2) What is she specific difference between a GreyHound and a FoxHound, regards how they hunt ?

3) Who introduced the breed to the UK ?

4) Name the first stadium the Chandler family helped build

5) On a race card what does the term B stand for, as in B6 race.

6) What type of races are dogs that tend to bite other dogs raced in, and why ?

7) Which dog was stuffed and at one time housed in the Natural History Museum in London

Which King banned the general public from owning Greyhounds, and what year.

9) Which one of our users is named after a very famous Greyhound ?

10) What is the link between Greyhounds and Chelsea football club.

11) At what track did Blonde dino break the world record for 480 metres ?

Most of these answers can be found on the Forum. I wont give any answers, only name the correct ones.

Edit to add.....i know its eleven i got carried away.

10 is correct. Well done TGS

What a day, watching the Blues, retire to the bar, then a night at the dogs. Signs of a mis-spent youth.
