Hi Guys,

Just thought I would join this forum.I bought a pup 2 months ago and its 6mths old now being reared.

Cant wait till it get broken in!

Still thinking of a name too.

Hey firstdog, Welcome to the forum. It's been bit quiet of late except for those spammers but ask any questions about greyhound racing. I hope I can help answer any questions you may have. Also Good luck with your first dog as it fantastic owning a greyhound. I have had a few over the years and my broodie just whelped her 3rd litter 6 weeks ago so very excited for future with them. cheers Dougie

Thanks mate.

Yeah I have always wanted to own a greyhound.So one day in July I decided to buy one.

I bought a white & Brindle bitch by "Pure Octane" out of "Our Girl Jazz".

Our Girl Jazz is full litter litter sister to "Miss Elly Mint" !

She is being reared at Bathurst at the moment and hopefully will broken in about Feb 2011.

Just a quick question re:break in.

Do the greyhounds have a particular time they should run in or does it vary depending on location.

Dave.

Looks very well bred which is a good start. Breaking in varies at different break in tracks but the times are only a guide. I always believe if they do everything right example jump from boxes well and chase hard then thats a good start. When there in full training that's when you will know if they make it or not with there times. Patience is the key and if you do that you might be well rewarded later on. My good racebitch broke in average but become a city and group winner when she mature around 2 1/2 to 3 year old that's when she hit her top racing peak. Anyway good luck with her and let me know how she is progressing when she breaks in. cheers Dougie

Thanks Dougie,

Just out of curiosity,whats the name your race bitch you were referring to?

Welcome first dog . Best of luck with your purchase, now the bug has started, so be prepaired to take good an sometimes the bad.

Very nice breed to start with, good luck with her by her breeding she is in with a chance straight up, breaking in, training and racing are all very diff, how your dog runs on its own can be cmpletly diff to how the dog will run in a field..keep us up to date with her progress
