its very much appreciated Robert that your having a puppy race, like you say 12 month and under :thumbsup:

 

[kirsty17]

i cant c wot the problem is here!!!!!our pups awill be 12 months and ten days and well be running in the puppy race with or without them as we still have Magical Reni who has just turned 10 months...really too young to be raced but if needs be shel race. At the end of the day colins right.....wen do we know wen a pup isnt a pup...wen it comes to greyhounds they are classed as saplings from 8 months on and are too young to be raced anyway....its roberts show n what he has said goes!!!! c u all sunday...lukin 4ward to it!! :- " :thumbsup:

Do you hunt your dogs as well as race them ??

[baby1]

Is there a Veteran race? I have a dog who could race in that. There is never a veteran race. When a dog gets to a certain age its rare for it to race. Organisers forget about the veterans over here where as in England they race all the time.

 

[stormydog]

how far is the track ? is it a greyhound track or a straight gallop ? are you racing from traps or handslipping ?

 

[milliken]

hand slip up a up hill gallop not sure about distance it is but its a good run

Yes I agree there are a lot of dogs over here that age and over so would make for a good race. I also agree that pups should be 12 months and under, the way its always been.

 

[milliken]

if you can get me 6 vetrans ill be more than happy to put a race on but ill tell you you will be hard pushed

robert

 

[peony]

if owners want to race there dogs, knowing there over 12 months old, and they win the race, i can't see the satisfaction in that :blink:

ONE YEAR IS 12 MONTHS, AND A PUPPY RACE IS A PUPPY RACE :thumbsup:
