How are the numbers on our side? Out of 3000 racing dogs a year, only 800 are rehomed. Great odds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great odds since 2016 our breeding numbers have been 2017 744 2018 843 2019 712 your 3000 number I'm presuming would cover dogs aged approx 18 months to 5 years if we rehomed 3000 dogs a year wouldn't leave us many to race RFS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With most dogs making over $10,000 at least how can’t they afford to rehome them or pay to fix them when they get injured Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statements like this is what has lead the greens to attack, you people are your own worst enemy. You say people breed to many yet in the CD and the North there is a huge shortage of dogs so why ?

Its too little to late. Most people in the industry are as naive as grnz so im not surprised this is the end result Everytime i make a suggestion regarding any issue, people either at the track or on here push back and say nothing needs to change and that there isnt a problem or its a problem to big to solve. Its been clear since 2013 that this industry will struggle to reach 2023 and it very well may not with the current direction its going in. Regardless of stats, greyhound racing in new zealand has a poor standing in the publics eye and i cant see anything changing in a year that grnz couldnt have started changing 10 years ago MiniJax 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 150 Report post Posted September 5, 2021 Maybe it is , maybe it isn’t. What we need to find out is, what a suitable number is considered sustainable. And the only way to do that so far is with the required race’s program . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers in the report they provided were botched aswell. One of their stats says 0 dogs were brought into NZ for breeding purposes in the last 2 years. I am connected to two bitches that were brought in in the last year. Fucken shambles. Than they think "we are rehoming 1 dog per litter whelped" is a good statistic. What a joke. I am glad i no longer rely on the industry to survive because its being run into the ground Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rules For Some 163 Report post Posted September 6, 2021 People in the industry laugh at me when j say the industries time is numbered if we fail to deal with the outstanding issues still at large but here we are, given 1 year to tidy up the industry which im doubtful of when it has made little progress in 10 yrs.
