Life in a kennel sounds pretty bleak to me. Where I live in Greyhound racing isn't serious sport. All of the dogs were someones pet (mostly young people by the way). So I quess dogs lay on the sofa most of the day. Personally I would buy puppy from legitimate breeder. I trust that in this part of the world they treat dogs well. I think there is more amateur(not so legitimate) breeding FACTORIES for those breeds (little cute ones), that sells like teen spirit. Why isn't anyone concerned about that???

I think a lot of people are concerned about breeding farms. Your photo, however, is called "Greyhound Racing".

I understand in this case where no money is involved, the dogs would be from pet owners with the dogs living at home with them. Fair enough, but isn't this a different world from 'pro dogs'?

I feel this is a valid point as casual observer (myself included) might not be able to tell the difference between this hobby race and one for money.
