Experienced Rearers & Spellers will not take on a lot of GAP dogs no matter the weekly price because they know that a high percentage of these will become non payers & abandon the dogs. Unlike a person getting a pup reared there is nothing happening at the end with a GAP dog.( ie breaking in & racing for a pup) However I think I may have a workable solution which I will recommend to our ruling bodies. GRNSW or GWIC could be the point of payment when a dog is boarded at a registered persons property ( pass the board of say $80 or $90 on to the boarder less a handling fee ) GRNSW or GWIC pay the boarder & in the event of non payment the boarder is still paid & GRNSW or GWIC use a debt collecting firm to recover any unpaid board & suspend the owner/trainer from racing until the debt is paid. In this way the Owner remains responsible for their dog/s, the Boarder has a guarantee of payment & the governing bodies have a solution Owners & Trainers & Boarders can accept. What are peoples thoughts?
