Breeding greyhounds is an area of our sport that requires extensive knowledge, lots of hard work and true passion. Breeding the next generation of champions is more than just good luck; it involves planning, research and exceptional care of the brood bitch and the litter.
The process involved in becoming a greyhound breeder, whilst relatively simple, is designed to ensure that new breeders are beginning with the right intentions and have the welfare of the greyhounds they breed in mind at all times.
The Breeder’s Education Package contains four units covering topics such as selection of breeding stock, GRV requirements, mating your brood bitch, whelping the litter and the raising of a litter of pups. It is designed to give new breeders an insight into the job ahead, making sure they are aware of their responsibilities and giving them some information about each important stage.
If you have not bred a litter before, you will be required to read through the information contained in the four units then complete and submit the assessment forms for each unit prior to your bitch being served. Completed assessment forms are to be submitted to:
Member Services Department
Greyhound Racing Victoria
46-50 Chetwynd Street
West Melbourne 3003
Or faxed to: (03) 8329 1000
