If your going to buy a proven dog to race you first need to consider how much your willing to pay and also where its going to race etc.

CONTACT Brad Gully from TEAM-BUNDY SYNDICATIONS im sure he will point you in the right direction.

RYLES - you forgot to mention that people shouldnt listen to my opinion when buying a dog

What is a pup worth?

What is a pup worth?

only as much as someone is prepared to pay for it

but it all depends on breeding

Someone else will train it right ?
When you buy a pup just remember if its parents were champions doesn't mean it will be .
Do they still have Greyhound auctions at angle park if so get some one in the know (like a good trainer)to go with you and help you select a dog.
And do you want a dog or bitch ?
Do you want one who is just a sprinter or just a distance runner ?
And don't buy one because you like the colour please .Then again blue(grey) greyhounds are cool.
And a taller dog is not always a better runner .
If you are buying one who already is racing see if you can watch a tape of it .or get it to have a single trial at angle park and get a trainer to watch it run .that way you may find out it runs to wide on turn 1 or 2 .Or cant jump out the boxes !!!

Sorry I spent many years growing up around greyhounds and greyhound tracks .The only dog I love the look of
