GREYHOUND and lurcher-owners will be able to take their pooches on a new organised walk.
Charity Greyhound Walks will meet on Chipperfield Common at 9.45am on Sunday.
Jan Taylor, from the charity’s Hertfordshire branch, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be holding our first walk in Chipperfield this weekend. We regularly hold walks in other parts of Hertfordshire that have proved to be very popular, attracting anywhere between 35 and 70 dogs and their owners. It is quite a sight to see so many well-behaved hounds walking out together.
“We have several regular walkers who live very close to Chipperfield so we look forward to seeing them along with others who travel from further afield.
“But we will be especially pleased to welcome any local people who own greyhounds or lurchers or who would like to find out more about these breeds.
“Greyhounds and lurchers are wonderful dogs, they make great pets and whilst the walks are a social occasion for the dogs and owners alike and more importantly they are a great way to raise awareness of how many greyhounds need re-homing once their racing days are over.”
