Re: Greyhound Racing
Yeah I know evo. I've heard of some pretty dodgy things being done to ensure a dog won't run well.
Having said that I want to do it for a fitness aspect too. I have to build my leg muscles up for yet another knee reco and excerising a dog might make me more disclipined.

Re: Greyhound For Sale....

Re: Greyhound For Sale....
Curtis Cuteypie - the name of the dog, the name of the dog!
Geez, evo, apart from some things turning to mush, I'm just the same as ever. :hihi
Do you like my avatar? Little Britain ROOOLZ! Pity about the rest of it.

Re: Greyhound For Sale....
Realistically Bunnerz, how much do you think it would cost for us to get a dog going around on behalf of PRE??

Re: Greyhound For Sale....
Rearing can cost between $30 and $40 per week up until it gets broken in @ around 14 months. Breaking in takes 4 weeks and costs $50 per week. A spell after that for a couple of months and into training (although a dog is 'trained' it's whole life). Once in pre-training cost is about $50 per week and full training cost once the dog starts racing is negotiable depending on ability.
A dog generally starts racing from 18 to 20 months old and with luck will race until it's 4 years old, and then it's retirement. If it was a half decent *smile* it's worth breeding from so there's always that option later on. If it's a champion the sky's the limit.
Usual costs for an average dog that races mostly in the country might be $50 per week plus 50/50 split with the trainer or trainer keeps all prizemoney under $100 and 50/50 split for the rest. If you have a city class dog it's usually just 50/50 because a trainer makes decent returns with this type of dog. If you have a top class dog the split is usually more in the owners favour.
Just to have a dog on the track is great fun. I even go to watch mine trial when I get the chance and there's nothing stopping you having some hands on involvement, like catching. Well worth it from a social point of view.
Unfortunately there was already a dog named Punt Road Flyer that raced in the late 80's so you probably won't be allowed this name.

Re: Greyhound For Sale....
What Flinders said was pretty spot on although i can get rearing a bit cheaper. I am a trainer and it costs about $35 a week for up keep, thats without vet bills. Maybe we should get a pup....
I have a few at the moment if interested....... from now to it races it would cost about $2600 all up b4 it hits the track, therefore when it hits the track it needs to make more than $5200 for you to make a profit...
