Greyhound Syndication- Are breeding syndicates the way to go?

By Hamish

Greyhound syndication is a great way to get started in the greyhound racing game. You can limit your investment and still enjoy all the fun and excitement of being an owner. One of the increasingly popular forms of greyhound syndicates going around these days is the breeding syndicate- why buy one racing dog when you can get a litter of pups and potential champions?

Basically with a breeding syndicate, you first need to find your brood bitch. Then you need to find a sire. There are costs here. Then you also have the whelping costs. These are the main costs with your syndicate.

Once the pups are born you have a few options. You can sell off some or all of the pups, or you can race them all. Usually you go with selling a few pups to cover your costs and then you race the ones that you keep for fun.

Obviously there are some risks involved- i.e. some of the pups die or your brood bitch doesn’t get pregnant, but if you choose the right greyhounds and go to the right breeder, you limit your risks as much as possible.

Over the coming months, we will be helping to organise some breeding syndicates. Let me know if you are interested and I will add you to the mailing list.
