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

West Melbourne 3003
