as soon as ben [sun prince] had he,s last injection i took him down the beach with my older dog and let him run around when he was tired i put him back on the lead that was hes training free running. he never ever run in a puppy open and only ever run once or twice in a yearling race ,he started schooling at newton aycliffe around 13month old first solos then against sauve dancer then gradually against 2or3dogs then into club racing and luckily into open class

My opinion and it is only my opinion that when a pup is let to free run on the beach or the field they go at their own pace and stop when tired,but put a pup behind a lure and they are put under stress and pressure that make them run faster than they need to hence over stirding and causing injuries

What age do you think you should put a young dog around a greyhound track Jeff?

My opinion - a dog is ready for the bends when you feel that it has the strength to cover the distance of a bend track at a good pace, has it's feet, is confident in it's own physical ability and has shown you by it's actions free running that it will be able to handle twists and turns and is confidently able to avoid obstacles without causing danger to other dogs or injury to itself (it's one thing to go round a track, it's quite another to go round a track and be able to get out of the way should an incident occur :thumbsup: )

So I think that's similar to Jeffb's then :eek:
 
Right that's it I'm off to bed - if I can't sleep because of thoughts/ideas running through my head I'm going to blame all you lot I've just been talking to (w00t) .

Nitey nite all :huggles:

Thought it wasn't a very good turnout for agm.Just to let everyone know.Drug testing will not be reinstated,and there is now a cap on dogs over 55lb.Due to members present,this will not affect adult dogs already racing.Marie's proposal over the breeding of whippets with greyhounds as also been voted in.Can't remember all the other results so perhaps someone could add them.
 
I usually go to represent Dawdon club. Due to the dogs being bad I thought it a good idea to stay away this year. Sure we'll get to know what went on in time.
 
Cap on over 55lb'ers.....

Who's transporting the new scales to check them-Lol
