short answer would be no, as far as im aware there is no one specifially set up for rearing outside dogs, although some will do it for their race owners. but most are rearing there own dogs or ones they have raced for others.
best bet would be go to races and chat to trainers, or else ask the person you purchase pups through about rearing

twirly berly got a reaction from Eyespy in Question on handlers
so are you saying that an owner or worker whos favourite dog it is, is handling the dog. And because the trainer isnt busy and another trainer needs help, that the first trainer cant help? seems silly. I do not believe there is any such rule. I know ive handled dogs for other people while my partner has handled dogs under my name.

twirly berly reacted to I know in NZRS.....
I agree a fair bit. Nzrs race for less than a graded race in the heats and to me that is not fair. You are better off running in the money in a c1 520 than in a c0 to c1 nzrs Heat, sure the final is worth more but you have to run in the money in that as well. Same goes for c2/c3 and c4/c5 and the open sprint for nzrs is just a joke. I think these races are good just the stakes for the heats needs to be brought into line with current stakes. Also something along the lines of, if you win a c5 520 $500 ? And if you can produce a litter that all win $1000 . Just an idea I'm sure there is others .

twirly berly reacted to aquaman in NZRS.....
Because you import all your stock, and do not breed them, or rear them, or educate them, but rather have it all done for you. You then eye up all the money on offer to the hard working local breeders whom commit big money thats required in developing a litter through to racing, none of which you do. Leave the breeders alone i say, its working, and they deserve everything that comes their way.

I really shouldn't weigh into this debate but some people have no idea what they are talking about. I will merely comment on the track today as I am the Track Manager at Cambridge.
The track was power harrowed on the weekend and any time tgis task is undertaken the track is susceptible to a softening up period whilst it beds back down. If anyone knows anything about track maintenance and any curator will tell you the same light rain is the last thing you want to see in the hours before a meeting after turning it in the few days prior. Would much prefer a heavy rain or a downpour as it actually packs the track down firmer. If you don't know this then you know nothing about track preparation and shouldn't comment.
This task has to be undertaken from time to time to prevent time as tracks becoming too hard which can happen after heavy rain or if they happen to dry out which should never happen. Sometimes though these things are out of our control. As Cambridge is a shared venue other events take place there and ten days ago the annual A & P Show was held there hence the track was being utilised and couldn't be watered as much as I would have liked. Surprisingly it came through not too badly but due to the high winds it had dried out considerably and some sand was obviously blown off the track as well. Rain was forecast last week so whilst the track needed power harrowing I held off doing it to avoid risking the very situation that has unfolded today. The projected forecast last weekend was for good weather throughout this week so the time seemed right. On Sunday evening that forecast changed and this time they were right.
You check the long range forecast and pick a time when the weather is supposed to be good for trhe period leading up to a race meeting before turning a track. The forecasters don't always get it right so it can be a fine line sometimes. I take exception to being told no attempt was made to fix the track in time as that is crap. The weather and forecast looked ominous yesterday so action was taken immediately to try and prevent it softening up. I inspected the track this morning at 8.00am and it was raining.as it had been since around midnight. It wasn't too bad but by 9.00am it was considerably softer so I contacted the club secretary and stewards and local trainers amnd arranged a track inspection for 10am.The track had softened even more as the light rain continued.
All present were unanimous in that the track was too soft at that time. Now before making the decision to call it off however we firstly had to take into account other factors. Is the forecast for improved conditions, If it is going to fine up then it would only need a couple of hours for it to dry sufficiently for the meeting to proceed.The forecast was to the contrary and for more of the same which indeed proved correct as it was drizzly and showery throughout the day and still is. Absolutely no wind and no drying conditions despite what someone has stated in this thread. I was still at the track at 3.00pm and still couldn't get the tractor onto it.
So do you make the early call and save everyone the time and expense of travelling to the track hoping for a miracle or let them all waste their time. The right call was made.
I have been involved in the industry for over 40 years in many different facets and have been looking after tracks for the majority of those years. I have done anything and everything in my power and always will to ensure a meeting goes ahead no matter what the weather or other extenuating circumstances has thrown at me. Shovelling sand back on a track at 2.00am in the morning after storms or floods is all part and parcel of the job and if that's what it takes then it'll be done. The only other meeting called off Cambridge under my care (co-incindentally) was the corresponding meeting in 2013. Iam also and owner and trainer and know the disappointment an abandonment can cause but can assure you no-one is more dirty on losing today's meeting than me.

If Aliens were to arrive on Earth, and you had to explain to them why the greyhound industry is not reaching its full potential, I think the easiest way to explain it would be to send them to this thread. Unreal.

A dog with arthritis cab have flare ups where they are sore. With correct treatment mild arthritis can be maintained.
Severe artritis is different obviously.
If the vet cleared it to race are you saying the vet should be replaced if it's so obviously sore to you?
