Compliant kennel for greyhound not registered for breeding 3sqm.

Compliant kennel for greyhound (dog or bitch) registered for breeding 3.5sqm.

So if your kennels are currently somewhere between 3sqm and 3.49sqm and you are someone who doesn't usually have breeding greyhounds in kennels anyway, maybe they move to the main house, but you register for breeding before they finish racing, keep them in kennels till they finish racing, then move them into the main house on retirement from racing, you will not be able to that under the new Code.

If it doesnt impact you and you think that the Code has got it right, then send that to GWIC in your feedback.

However, there may be people who are adversely affected by it and they are entitled to put in their feedback, along with any other concerns they have.

The experience in Victoria demonstrated that there can be changes made between the draft and final Codes and the Commission seems to be genuine in wanting to undertake a consultation process so I would think that all feedback will be given proper consideration.

The Code puts in place practices for caring for and keeping greyhounds to be able to give them maximum chance to race and also to be rehomed

Its got nothing to do with growing the industry finances etc, ...that is a whole different argument that you are pitching

I don't see how a document to care and keep greyhounds is turning people away in droves.

Perhaps its the cost of buying a place near Sydney to train dogs to start with is the biggest problem faced by newer participants and older ones who do have property are starting to sell out to developers.

GRNSW is starting to realize that prizemoney needs to be regionalized to allow people in rural areas, where tracts of land are cheaper and where greyhounds are typically being trained, to access TAB prizemoney.

Taree is the latest addition to the rural TAB circuit in NSW, following on the heels o fGunnedah and Temora.

However, this new Code, is a fairly simple document, pretty easy to read and understand and there is nothing that is too onerous in it.

It is there to act as a platform to encourage old and new participants to be part of the modern era of greyhound racing and breeding.
SANDRO .DON;T YOU THNK THAT increasing the number of greyhounds being bred would be a better start than introducing new tracks ,
We can all see that most clubs now are extending nomination times and are racing with smaller fields each and every week , as a matter of fact some meetings are being cancelled because lack of nominations,
Introducing breeders bonuses etc would be a far better way at this present situation, to encourage breeders and improve the greyhound shortage that we are experiencing,just my thoughts mate .

Bill

I wasn't aware that there were any new tracks being built

All they did with Taree was turn it from Non-TAB to TAB....don't you think that is a positive thing for the participants in that area?

In any case, the Code of Practice has not got anything to do with tracks...that is a GRNSW responsibility

Daryl

You are not wrong. You can understand it, why can't others?

This is one rule i think is totally unnecessary.
Who cares if the dog lives in a shoebox ! if the animal is in good condition and visibly healthy ? instead of having ex-police as inspectors trying to persecute participants have vets that can inspect the animals, after all it is suppose to be about WELFARE.
