Greyhound Weekly Edition 58 Volume 2

Number 6

Barbara Perry’s Gift to Greyhounds A very generous $45,430 bequest has been left to the Greyhound Adoption Program by a former Gippsland greyhound trainer, the late Barbara Perry. Barbara’s son Paul contacted GAP to let us know about the gift from his mother, who passed away last year. The gift has been gratefully received by the GAP team which is currently considering the best way to use it to benefit greyhounds while commemorating Barbara’s generosity and devotion to dogs. GAP manager, Larissa Darragh, said options include constructing an enrichment yard at GAP’s centre in Seymour to help prepare dogs for re-homing, building a test yard at a metropolitan racing club to make GAP more accessible to participants or a large trailer to transport the dogs to adoption days and GAP’s centre at Baxter. “From what Paul has told us about Barbara, I know that she would want us to do something that directly benefits greyhound welfare and their chance to have a good life when they finish racing. We feel honoured to have received this gift, and we would like to thank Barbara’s family for their support and kind wishes.” Paul says he has good memories of growing up with Barbara’s greyhounds. “Besides training and racing greyhounds she had many as family pets once their racing careers had come to an end,” Paul said. “Mum always loved dogs, she had dachshunds, Scottish terriers and Afghans as family pets. “Greyhounds gave my mother, her partner and myself many great memories and we were fortunate enough to see what beautifulnatured animals they are,” he said. Barbara trained and raced greyhounds through the 70s and 80s. She found success with one dog in particular, her champion stayer Tammy Shanta who broke track records in the early 70s, won the 1975 Sandown Cup and was a Greyhound of the Year finalist in 1974. In all she clocked up 23 wins from 55 starts, 10 seconds and five thirds. She won nine at Olympic Park (732m) and nine at Sandown (718m).

Friday 10 November 2017 One report referred to the greyhound as the “current pin-up girl with punters” when she was lining up to win her fifth consecutive race at Sandown Park. The article mentions the stayer’s devastating and brilliant form, but notes that punters were inclined to regard her earlier starts at Sandown as a fluke, but she proved them wrong when she came home from a seemingly hopeless position to take first place. Barbara’s success as a trainer was no fluke either. She experimented with different training formulas before she discovered the right one to bring out the best in Tammy Shanta. Barbara and her husband Bill bought land in Longwarry in the mid-1970s to establish a training and breeding complex, which they ran for the next 14 years before retiring. Bill passed away in 2010 and Barbara eventually moved to Warragul. Barbara was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and spent the remaining three months of her life moving between hospital and a nursing home, but greyhounds were never far from her mind. In fact, one of her last outings was to the greyhound races in Warragul. Memories have faded since the 1970s but there are still people in the Warragul racing community who remember Barbara; now she will be remembered for her generous gift to GAP and greyhounds.

Windy Millar*

Our weekly selection of greyhounds to follow, based on their breeding and recent performances CRYSTAL BLING Black bitch, December 2015 My Bro Fabio x Lollipop Bling, trained at Clyde by John Westerlo, for his wife, Carol. Was only having fourth race start when handy third from box six over 595 metres at Sandown (SAP) on 7 November. Won first start, over 525 metres at The Meadows on 16 August, then seventh there the following week before sixth from box three, 515 metres at Angle Park on 14 September. Stepped up in distance after a break, for the Sandown run and handled it very well. Looks a good type. SODA KID Black dog, September 2015, Fernando Bale x Elegant Elle, raced by Daniel Mizzi and trained for him at Tatura by Max Auld. Was having just his sixth race start when handy fourth, beaten 5.19 lengths, from box four, in the race won by Alpha Themis, over 515 metres at Sandown (SAP) on 7 September. First five runs resulted in two wins and a third, Bendigo and Shepparton so that Sandown run was a sharp rise in class and distance, which he handled well and looks like a city winner. SMALL ROSE Black bitch, December 2014 Banjo Boy x Classy Caitlyn, raced by Paul Schroeder and trained for hum at Crossover, by Christine Haigh. 16 starts for four wins and five placings, before last start second, from box three over 515 metres at Sandown (SAP) on 7 November, beaten 0.37 lengths in the race won by Fiery Melody (29.99). That was fourth run at Sandown and her second placing, so she is a consistent performer, well bred, who is not far off another win.

Tangaloa

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS: Winner 1978 Group 1 Melbourne Cup Winner 1980 Group 1 Australian Cup Runner-up in 1979 Group 1 Australian Cup Tangaloa is revered for his feat of winning the 1978 Melbourne Cup, before finishing 2nd in the 1979 Australian Cup, and then going on to win the 1980 Australian Cup at the unthinkable odds of 33/1. Both of the abovementioned wins were extremely special to trainer Joe Hili, and for different reasons. He entered the 1978 Melbourne Cup series after only having had five starts for five wins. He initially missed out on getting a run in the [Melbourne Cup] heats, but [GRV Hall of Fame inductee] Paul Hogan, who was on the Sandown Committee, argued that with five starts for five wins Tangaloa had earned his place in the series.

GRV Greyhound Care

Learned Experiences During a dog’s life there are thought to be special learning periods where experiences, or lack of them, can have a much more pronounced effect on the adult dog. Often referred to as the ‘Socialisation Period’ the first important learning period is from 3 weeks to 3 months of age. During this time puppies learn what the world is about and develop social skills – with people, other dogs, and other animals. During this time pups that are exposed to a wide variety of experiences – sights, sounds and places – learn that these are normal parts of their world, and aren’t to be feared. Pups that have little or no experience apart from the company of other dogs may become less able to adjust in future when their world suddenly changes. It is also thought that there is a ‘fear period’ at around 78 months of age. Bad experiences in this period seem to What causes fearfulness, and is there any way to have a greater effect long term when compared to bad prevent it? Any behaviour that we see in our dogs is a combination experiences at other ages. Good breeders make a point of ensuring their of: youngsters are not simply confined to their pen with  The dog’s genetic temperament their littermates. They make sure the pups get out and  Any learned experiences (both good and bad)  The effect of the environment the dog is in at any experience the world, meet people (adults and children), both within the safety of the litter, and on their time Fear is a normal part of behaviour – in fact it is vital for own. They take their pups on car trips, maybe to survival in the wild. What isn’t normal are high levels experience the sounds and smells of the race track, or of fear that make the animal unable to function normally just for the ride in the dog trailer with an older, relaxed dog that is a good traveller. They handle their pups in its environment. often, and introduce them to ‘chase’ games, walking on leash, wearing a collar, and walking on different Genetic Temperament surfaces. Usually greyhound breeders are trying to breed for speed and strength for racing above all other traits. In their quest for speed, they may overlook some other traits in their breeding animals in the process. Interestingly, fear is HIGHLY heritable, meaning that it is easily passed on to the pups from the parents. If you mate a nervy bitch to a high-strung dog, chances are you will produce pups that will have a strong tendency towards nervousness. Nervy or anxious brood bitches also have an added affect on temperament as the pups watch and model their behaviour on their mother’s behaviour during their early development.

Understanding Fearful Behaviour

GRV Greyhound Care Understanding Fearful Behaviour Continued 



Context and Environment Learning does not just happen early in life, it happens every day throughout the dog’s life. If a dog has a bad experience, it will relate that to the behaviour that they were doing at that time, as well as the location and context at the time. Context refers to things that are happening at the same time (people present, things in the environment, time of day and so on). For example, if a greyhound goes to the vet after a race with a broken toe he will be in some amount of pain. If during the examination the vet puts pressure on the toe, or moves it about causing even more pain, then the dog will associate the pain (a bad experience) with what is happening at the time. Depending on the dog and what prior experiences it has had in this environment, the outcome from this one negative vet visit may be minor, or it may lead to a serious fear of the vet. Dogs with confident temperaments, who have had lots of good experiences in similar situations, will probably recover from this one bad experience, but nervous dogs can get to the point where they are so fearful that they become nearly impossible to examine. Does it matter if my greyhound is fearful? Greyhounds that are anxious or high strung are very difficult to manage and rarely make really good race dogs. Because their bodies are constantly responding to day-to-day experiences with a physiological fear response (preparing the dog for the fight, flight or freeze response) it can seriously affect their weight, condition, hydration status, and acid-base balance. Long term it can lead to chronic health problems (similar to people who are under constant stress).  High levels of anxiety often lead to excessive panting, even when the weather is not hot. Panting leads to an increased loss of fluids and electrolytes, and can seriously alter the dog’s

acid-base balance. These dogs can become quickly dehydrated, and will recover poorly after a run. Fuelling the fear response burns calories. Nervous dogs tend to need to eat a lot more than a calm dog of similar weight and size to hold their condition. These dogs will often lose condition very quickly if they do not eat, and may not eat if they are particularly stressed. Nervous dogs often respond to stressful events in other ways. A common example is the dog that develops diarrhoea every time it becomes stressed. Once the bowel becomes involved, the dog can lose fluids, electrolytes and calories very quickly. The classic example of this is the dog that gets the ‘trots’ or the ‘squirts’ when you travel to race meets that are further away than normal. This restricts you to racing locally as the dog rarely arrives in any shape to compete. Chronic low grade health problems often sideline these dogs. They are always the first to get sick in your kennel. Their bodies are so stressed that their immunity falls, and they become prone to infection, and can become anaemic, develop skin problems or more serious problems like pneumonia and other infections. These dogs will have often ‘run their race’ before they get out of the kennels. The stress of travelling, arriving at the track, being examined, and then sitting in the kennelling area for an hour or so can really take it out of a fearful dog. By the time their race comes around they have already spent most of their energy.

What can be done to prevent fear?  Breeders can make a big difference in preventing fear by choosing breeding stock that is calm and confident.  Breeders can also make sure their pups are well handled and socialised.  Expose young pups to all of the things they will experience during their careers – tables and ramps, cars, dog trailers, handling by a variety of people, the sound of the lure, even the starting boxes. Make these experiences pleasant.  Make sure that exposure to ‘good’ experiences continues throughout the rearing process – don’t just send the dog to the farm for a year and expect it to cope when you decide it is time to break it in. By putting a bit of work in early, the breaking process will be far less stressful for the dog, easier for the breaker, and much more likely to be successful.

Letters Letters to the editor

Obviously, the long term decline in Victoria and elsewhere must have been, and still is, influenced by other factors than direct GRV actions. So what were they, and why have we not addressed them?

I can’t sensibly answer the first part of that question except to say that buyers are not buying. I can comment on the second point. It is the long term habit of Editor, greyhound administrations to act after the event – ie Peculiar actions by GRV are becoming the norm now. only when a crisis emerges. For example, the current Encouraging trainers to race the runts of the litter hardly GRV effort to encourage more slow dogs to join in what will be bad races is a reflection of the increasing seems helpful to the problem of short fields, let alone number of empty boxes and the impact on betting the product dished out to customers. Ditto the turnover. Forget quality – only quantity counts. Yet the discussion about installing short races in the city – shades of the former horror 311m at Olympic Park, with trend has been clear for many years. its right angle bend. Customers hate short races. Overall, someone – everyone – should long ago have But the most worrying claim concerns breeding – or in launched studies into breeding activity to help explain the trends. It has not happened. The wet finger GRV terms “overbreeding”. dominates. Email: editor@victoriangreyhoundweekly.com.au

The latest GRV Monthly Report and Annual Report to parliament are busy telling us …

It is not just the numbers that should concern us. Add to the list the declining standards of staying races, the increasing proportion of races over 400m or less, or the recent talk about ultra-short races in Melbourne (Wentworth Park ran one the other night, Albion Park, Cannington, Launceston and Hobart do it all the time). And why put in a 315m trip at the new Traralgon track when it has a 395m trip next to it? What sort of breeding does that encourage? What sort of customer likes quickie races?

“Overbreeding is now no longer occurring” “Overbreeding in Victoria (is) addressed …” “Overbreeding is now no longer a problem”

What codswallop! The fact is that overbreeding never occurred, it never was a problem, except perhaps in the mind of inquiry chief Dr Milne, who clearly failed tolook at the data. But even though it never existed, either Australia-wide or in Victoria, the mantra Either way, there are huge gaps in our knowledge of the kept getting repeated by GRV, GRNSW, the NSW breed and of the needs of potential owners. Premier and the inquiries in NSW and Queensland. In reality the reverse was the case. Bruce N. Teague ____________________________________________ Between 2003 and 2015 the number of Litters Registered in Victoria ranged from a high of 1,315 to a low of 937, ending up in 2015 at 1,029 (GA statistics), all reflecting a slowly declining activity. In 2016 and 2017 years the figures were 634 and 409 respectively (GRV statistics) but these big drops occurred largely without any GRV influence. Yes, GRV did eliminate direct subsidies (but maintained VicBred races) but that would not have influenced 2016 performance due to lead times and commercial obligations binding breeders. It might also be argued that it had only modest effect on 2017, if that. Clearly, the long term trend, perhaps accelerated by the February 2015 live baiting sagas, is down, down, down. Additionally, the more recent regulations restricting the output of mature dams would have added to the downward pressure.
