AN EXCITING CLUB
The canine athlete
provides an exciting spectacle to watch when
racing at full speed. A sport carrying a large
spectator base gives an opportunity to own a
greyhound at a modern premier class venue for a
minimal outlay. A racer can be purchased for
only a few hundred pounds and a professional
trainer will then care for your greyhound for as
little as £35 to £50 per week. The costs of
training your dog professionally may be reduced
by the prize money your canine star wins tax
free.
As an owner you will be issued with an owner's
pass, which will entitle yourself to
free entry to the track to see your greyhound
race.
If you and fellow workmates wish to share the
costs of greyhound ownership an option of
forming a syndicate may well be worth
considering.
OWNING
A GREYHOUND PROVIDES:
VALUE FOR MONEY
ADVERTISING YOUR BUSINESS
AN ENTERTAINING AND RELAXING NIGHT OUT WITH
FRIENDS
A
greyhound will give many hours of pleasure
during its racing career, however remember the
racer is your responsibility and you must make
provisions for the dog when it has finished
racing.
The majority of ex-racers find it quite easy to
fit into the routine of home life and provide
many hours of further enjoyment with a family in
their retirement.
