must of been while ago have not raced of a saturday night for a while i dont think

i think it was in seventy

This is not the 70's, taking a racing greyhound "Roo Hunting" is a sure fire way to lose your license and also get plenty of bad publicity for the sport not to mention the issue of fences or other horrific injuries!! Seek advice from reputable experienced trainers and also realize that there is a certain percentage of dogs that can trial like trains but just won't go in a field!!! Maybe she will make a top Coursing bitch?? Patience is the key.

yes great point gippy lol

Just gotta remember there is good china and bad china where the dogs go. Good china is the ones that pay tens of thousands for top quality dogs. So unless she proves to be of sensational ability - its bad china they go.

How often do we get a fast one aye, so if in the sport for a bit of fun, try all ya can to get her going - nothing more awesome than having a fast dog. Ive rejected offers for 4 of my dogs purely cause theyre fast - 2 broke their hocks, 1 dropped both back muscles and the other fought next start - aka, 3 live on my bed and the other is in qld lol!
But they all won races and was a stack of fun owning and training fast greys.

we sent her to taree for a couple of easier races she ran 22.50 in her trial and then when it came to the race she led by 5 and just stopped.

Is she a mad chaser? if so maybe send her to Qld or SA for the lure - if only a sprinter send her to NZ.

She isn't just field shy then!!! To be out in front by 5 lengths and stop only means one thing, she is not chasing!! There are too many unknown factors here to make a judgement , age?? temprament?? how did she break in?? training methods being used??. If you really believe that she is a quick dog(I know nothing about Taree) then I would not wait a minute longer and either get her re-educated by a reputable breaker or get her to a likewise trainer who then has the experience to make a informed assesment of her, good luck!!

Umm yes my above post should be is a she a mad ''on the lure'' not just chaser. :)

As Gippy has posted maybe re education. May i suggest Kilcoyne Kennels in Leppington NSW if you do try it. Had a breaker tell me my dog wouldnt chase a yard and was better off being potted.

Slipped the dog with a a bitch that was about 20L off the pace... she beat him by 20L minimum. Sent him to Kilcoyne, my boy has had 4 starts 1-1-1 and a fall. He turned him around from this stupid idiotic non chasing dog to now because he was chasing better he seemed to mature up into a race dog much quicker. He isnt 2 until the middle of December.
My boy jumps 'ok' but musters up quick and can take a hit now - far from when he usd to meow.

thanks for the info
