Mehe......No I don’t breed racing dogs, but I would just about bet you anything you like that litters breed/reared in nz has no where near a 66% success rate.... and I don’t call a success a dog winning a race I’m talking racing through too 3.5 or years of 4 years of age I’m probably being generous at 66%....

i'm happy too be corrected.......... basically the informant is going broke under its current model and want the tab/nzrb too bail them out??? is this the same tab/nzrb they are consistently putting the boot into??? i would tell them too get stuffed as well

does it really matter where the dogs come from?? last time i looked they all have 4 legs 1 tail and a mouthful of teeth........ on current rules there is a maximum of 250 imported greyhounds a year so lets say this drops too 50 ( i'm sure some very handy ones will still come and win most of the big races) so that's a shortfall of 200 dogs a year....... so the code either loses racing dates or it has too breed another 200 dogs a year too counter the shortfall so who breeds these 200 dogs?? and i would imagine too get 200 qualified race dogs it will probably take close too 300 pups born 33% failure rate?? so i'm guessing by decreasing Aussie imports this will actually put more stress on our re-homing groups not improve them........ happy too be proved wrong but i just cant see how putting tariffs on these dogs will make one iota of difference too improving dog welfare in this country......... i think the issue around dogs coming here with marring or failing too pursue charges is something that can be debated but all policies should be made sensibly and for the benefit of the overall sport i just cant see any benefit too the code by banning perfectly good race dogs just because they are not born in nz

although everyone wants different things when placing bets, i feel this is actually a good change makes the process a lot quicker for taking trifectas and first fours and quickness(too many clicks) has been one of the biggest complaints since the new website....... maybe at some stage they will give each customer the choice old way or the new way..........
