grandad47 48 Report post Posted April 28, 2017 Excerpt below from National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee report regards Greyhounds. Full report at https://www.mpi.govt.nz/document-vault/17053 NAWAC remains uncertain about the number of dogs which are being produced or imported each year, and where they will end up once their racing career is finished; in particular as even high grade dogs tend to only have a racing life of 1–4 years. Whilst re-homing through Greyhounds as Pets is offering one avenue for these dogs, there is a risk of this avenue reaching saturation point given the length of a dogs lifespan vs its racing life duration. We understand that NZGRA is on target to halve the oversupply of dogs by 2017. This is being achieved through the introduction of fees for each puppy registered; restrictions on breeding bitches under 15 months and over 8 years; and the requirement that bitches must have a clear season after two consecutive litters.
