Greyhound Info

[pistol17]

Just wondering if anyone could help me out with some info. I have been offered a dog breeding is:

Bombastic Shiraz - Pure Ability

Greyhound is unraced so far - i dont know alot about greyhound sires so just wondering about the breeding and any other regarding their other runners.

Cheers

The sire was a terrific greyhound.

Here's a bit about him:

there are a lot of factors to consider...

how old is the dog? if it is a couple of years old and has not raced yet, has there been anything wrong with it? were there any problems when it was being educated?

if it is a pup, then you will need to consider the fact that on top of the purchase price, you will need to pay another couple of grand to get it to race age, with no guarantee it will be any good. you would also have to find someone you trust to look after it.

the sire was a champion, and is proving himself very capable in the breeding game. however PUREABILITY looks to have been a fairly average racer and you might be better off looking at another option if you want to get into the dogs.

Its first qual is set for next week. As far as i know there havent been any issues or problems as yet.

The trainer is going to be my best mate so ill trust him with it.
