From the records of University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine study by the Center for the Interaction of Animals, much maligned greyhound is rated the most docile or least aggressive canine by breed which eventually make him fit and safe for possible races.

The study involved researchers from the University of Pennsylvania. The researchers actually have questioned 6,000 dog owners. Other dog breeds that scored low for aggression include Basset Hounds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors and Siberian Huskies. Other dog breeds scored average or below average marks for hostility toward stranger and these include Rottweilers, Pit Bulls and Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

By record, greyhounds are the most docile or least aggressive toward humans and other dogs. And the most vicious or let’s just say the most aggressive are the Daschunds. They are the first on the list of 33 dog breeds that were rated for their aggression.

Based on the results, Dr. James Serpell, one of the researchers from the study then have said that smaller breeds tend to be more genetically inclined towards aggressive behavior than bigger breeds.

For the details, the top ten aggressive breeds for the researchers of University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine are as follows:

1. Daschund
2. Chihuahua
3. Jack Russell Terrier
4. Akita
5. Australian Cattle Dog
6. Pit Bull
7. Beagle
8. English Springer Spaniel
9. Border Collie
10. German Shepherd

Because of the bad happenings, some employees now of Raynham Park are afraid that the that the track, the dogs and their jobs might be phased out long before Jan. 1, 2010 closure deadline.

Some employees fear that if some other kennel owners follow suit, the track could be closed by the next spring. “Please help us. Our hours are being cut,” said Cheryl Bonaparte. Bonaparte is one of the six Raynham residents who has been advocating two years extension of the deadline.

In defense of Christopher Roberts, worker at Raynham for 11 years as pari-mutuel track announcer, “They’re trying to stay open on high-volume days”. Still, Raynham at some point wants their employees to stay calm and be deaf from all the issues.

However, due to the pull out which lead to fewer races and less betting and eventually which then lead to closure of Raynham for simulcast, it really shows there’s a trouble. Thus, employees of Raynham have justifiable reason to get worried.

Employees of Raynham also believe that some of their kennel operators are now finding for other venues that are out-of-state. Hence, because of great fear, some of them have contacted the governor’s office for help and they seem to be making some sort of impact. They wish to reach enough people at the State House to amend the Greyhound Protection Act, their only hope.
