I think that all pups are differnt and they should be trained for racing when the owners think they are ready!!!

I also dont think its fair for somebody else saying when a pup is ready to race or not!!

I think pups injuring themselves at racing has alot to do with before they are even trained...I think that all pups should have loads of free running first!

we wont even think about trialing a dog behind a lure unless it can hold its legs free running this is a good indication of if a pup is ready in my eyes if it can hold its legs running on a uneven ground then give it a little slip if it looks strong enough its ready if it loses its legs a lot it isnt ready!!!

It comes down to peoples common sense with their dogs!

I myslef dont think the age for pups should be changed a vet wouldnt say o yes thats a racing dog thats a pup till its 14 month old but hey joe bloggs you got a lab hes a pup till hes 12 month hahaha :blink:

Its time people started thinking about their dogs instead of themselves.Being IMPATIENT and  running pups at 7 or 8 mths old is far to early, their bones are still soft & their joints havnt formed properly.  Ive seen loads of good pups ruined by running them at an early age.  You might be lucky and get away with it but on the other hand you might not.

Im not really bothered what other people do, if they want to run their pups early its up to them.

  This is a good proposal, hope it gets passed.

well said john :thumbsup:

it will give a owner 2 month extra to school it properly instead of chucking them in with no experiance,which as been done on numerous occasions :- "

Agree totally that people should think about their dogs and be sensible about when to run their pups, but also think if the rule is passed for pups 10-14 months yearlings would be a waste of time, as not many run in them now and at 15 months then the dogs should be ready for adults. I am not saying some with more greyhound in don't take longer but like you say it is up to each individual. Also you might be lucky running adults and you might not its racing.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

what about the folks that start late,and might go straight into the yearling as they miss the pups through age.the yearlings is to give young dogs experience in competition.there are ones that exceed and go earlier into the adults,but in some classes its a big jump as the standard is very high.our dogs all have grehound blood so we shoud take a leaf out of the professionals books, there rule of thumb 14 months start schooling therefore 10 month for a whippet isnt asking a lot maybe to early for a no limit as they are more greyhound size than whippet as previously said ask your osteopath if your dogs ready. this ancient rule of schooling at 6 months might of been ok 30 yrs ago,but dogs these days are 10 yards faster. instance 1966 a track record 32 lb dog 8.90 for 140 faster and more prone to injury ???? :thumbsup: nice debate .

Probably because it's up to the owners to know if their dog's ready. Let's not get into them &us eh o

Totally agree with sadie.
