Terry County farmer keeps greyhounds as aging passion
Boyd Watkins and his wife Emil raise and care for a small pack of greyhounds on their Terry County farm west of Brownfield. Once up to 40 dogs, they now tend six puppies and a few adults, with eight racing at Lincoln Rhode Island and two at Wheeling West Virginia. Watkins, honored with plaques and features in national magazines, trains pups in Abilene Kansas and notes the dogs need careful care but eat almost anything. He started in youth, loves the animals, and says greyhounds keep him going each day.
