Hi guys, I need your input to help the WGO place a value on the topics below. Once we have all the data we can then initiate an order of priority of things to be achieved and improved upon in countries currently owning and/or racing greyhounds without any official welfare structure or governing body.
Can you please post a score against EACH item 10 being if your rate it a must and 1 if it is not important at all.
If you have any suggestions or see anything I have left off please let me know.
Please note these are only heading we are not at the point of saying brush the dog, walk the dog, wash the dog etc. as this will come later.

Agree overall,but a different view on a few; Online Studbook - 8 Vet Attending all race meetings - 9 Kennel Inspections - 8 Vet Examination - 9 Bedding in kennelling area -8 Design - length of straights,radius of bends,camber on bends etc - 9
Nothing against Jamie's views,just quicker for me to do it this way.
Retirement/Welfare Centre - 10 Diet - 10 Vet attending all race meting - 7 Kennel inspections - 5
Pre Race
Vet Examination - 7 Weighing the dog - 10 Kennelling the dog - 10 Bedding in kennelling area - 5
Track Surface

would rename
'Welfare'
to
'Welfare - cradle to couch' (or something like that)
Topics as you have them, but also - Whelping - Rearing - Socialisation - Chase stimuli - Training - Preparation for couch/pet life - Common Racing injuries - Common Health issues post retirement
Do you have questions how to use the Greyhound-Data website?
