Can I have a say please. Thankyou thats very kind of you.

This is what I think. The dog can either run fast or it can't no matter who it's bred by.
If you have a look at the current top dogs in Australia you will find there is no prominent dam or sire. They are nearly all different sires and dams.

If you send 100 bitches to one sire that you think has outstanding breeding, surley one of those litters will produce a good racer.
Lets say each of those bitches on an average has 6 pups in the litter. Thats 600 pups. How many do you think are going to make it. Send 100 bitches to an ordinary sire and again out of 600 pups how many do you think is going to make it.
It goes back to my point of view. " They can either run or they can't."
So many times you hear or see. "For sale: such and such, brother or sister of champion such and such for amazing amounts of dollars and they do nothing."
It's like a lottery to me.

I have only had a greyhound for 6 months and it's hard work to keep it in prime condition all the time. But I love doing it. I have followed Greyhound racing with a passion for the last 40 years and seen many many breeders looking for that extra special greyhound. Yes it comes for them every blue moon, but a more than many go by the way side.

Thanks for letting me have my say. But it's only my opinion.
