To answer your question simply regarding gap importing 20 dogs from Australia requires 20 dogs to be rehomed at some stage. Breeding to achieve 20 race dogs would require you to breed 25-30 dogs as obviously not all pups make it to the track. therefore more to rehome. Unfortunately those breeding stats may even be worse in some cases. I think the NZGRA should have each breeders yearly statistics on this available for license holders to view. There is no difference from trainers being supplied dogs from owners and breeders based in Australia than the likes of Robin Wales and Cole sending race dogs to trainers around the regions. As I said in previous post people can choose to train and not breed and can source their dogs from where they like if you guys have a problem with it why don’t you start up a breeding facility and help supply trainers nationwide?
