Hey thier and welcome,

I am also very very new to the sport but am so hooked its not funny. firstly were will you be running your dogs at i never seen that in the post? If you are really in it for the fun and excitment why not start of with a dog that is racing so that you can get to no what dogs are about and what they need ect?

I have three dogs at the moment all are giveaways one is a bond dog one is a collision dog. To me the bond dog is going to be a huge learning curve as he is only two and not even named yet (papers have been sent though) so i am learning whith him and the other two are ready to race that way i can see all asspect of the dogs before i purchase a pup.

If none of these dogs race well or make the track it has cost me nothing except time, wich i belive is the best thing i don't have to worry about it costing me thousands of dollars.

however in saying that if you are wanting to race city class then you will need to spend the big dollars and hope your pup can run. I did see on a website that one lot of rarers / breeders will actually gaurentee that your dog will leave thier farm fit broken in and chasing or your money back. ( just can not remmember wich one it was)

Hope you have pleanty of winners in the near future

Cheers Sean
