flapping v NGRC

[valentino 0]

Flapping would be far the better option especially for a beginner, less silly rules & general stuffiness. I don't know what your local track would be but there are a couple in Durham & one in Northumberland that i can think of. Get along to them & even better if you can get someone to show you the ropes before you get your dogs.

Personally the last thing i would do is buy a racer & then give it to a trainer to run, wouldn't be nowhere near as much fun.

 

 

chers mate,....yeah i know the tracks

 

yes for me it would defeat the object of giving a dog to someone else to train,..imo its not your dog then

 

thanks

NGRC or flapping ? depending on the type of dog you keep, if you only keep open class then NGRC is the thing to do as when you are flapping you probabley use a jocky anyway so having a licence means you can do both, if you keep middle of the grade types then flapping is probably best until the handicapper has the best of the dog then send it to an NGRC trainer and sell it off the form.

max the kenneling is long for ngrc dogs but the good thing is with the ngrc is the meeting doesnt go ahead without a vet being to present where if a dog breaks its leg it has to suffer in the motor on the way to the vets .................. there is talk of making the flapping tracks have a vet present but i can only see the costs of a vet per meeting closing a few of the flaps up here vets charge around 200 pound per meeting and then owners still have to pick up the treatment bill for the dogs

There's no vet in attendance at Gretna samba,there's one "on call" though.

 

Many's the time i've seen a dog getting seriously hurt and having to wait over an hour for the vet to arrive.

What we all have to remember here is that should beaches, parks , fields ect have a vet in attendance because anyone with any type of dog can get injuries letting them off for exercise, if something does happen weather it be a poodle on the beach or a greyhound on the track so long as the owner gets that said dog to a vet asap they are doing their duty. Most flapping owners take better care than most trainers of NGRC DOGS, IMO the welfare of greyhounds would improve if the NGRC adopted an open kenneling system as eire has ie you me or anyone with kennels up to standard can run dogs from one in number to whatever say 25 so long as you were licenced and registered ie no flapping tracks no ngrc just greyhound racing open to all. IMO TRAINERS WITH -100 DOGS ECT dont do them justice most of the time.

 

in beaches and fields you dont often have 5 or 6 dogs running together though do you ................
