Seven for Droopy VINEYARD breeders, the Hall-Hall Syndicate have a litter of seven pups on the list this week, by Droopys Marco* (July 2002 Droopys Kewell x Little Diamond UK), whose dam is by Spiral Nikita x Camelot Katie (Merlens Slippy x Lisnakill Flyer).
Dyna Double One THREE litters on the NSW list this week for former champion sprinter, multiple group 1 winner, now outstanding stud prospect, Dyna Double One (March 2013 Barcia Bale x Crystin Bale). Whilst he has to cope with living in the shadows of his sire, Barcia Bale, who is Australia’s number one sire and set to be one of the most successful sires we’ve ever seen, I would be surprised if Dyna Double One doesn’t make a name for himself in his own right. Kew breeder, Thomas Roche has the first of his three litters, which has four dogs and four bitches, from the very well bred bitch, Eiffel In Love (September 2011 Knocka Norris x Gable Mctiger), whose dam is by Gable Lafourche* x Ally McTiger (Prince Of Tigers x Overlocker). She is from a litter of five named, who all won, winning 68 races between them, Kimbro won 19 times, as did Tigress Alley, Eyefull won nine times, snd Smokey Touch won six times.

GRV Greyhound Care
Supplementing the Diet There are many different brands and types of supplement on the market, and you only have to look through any of the greyhound papers or magazines to see advertisements for the latest product designed to help your dog become a winner. Some of these supplements are specifically formulated for greyhounds in work while others are designed for dogs in general. There are multi-vitamin and mineral supplements, electrolyte supplements and supplements containing essential fatty acids and amino acids.
Why use supplements? The reason for using a supplement is to overcome deficiencies within the diet that may occur due to the way food is processed, preserved and prepared. The greyhound’s body requires vitamins, minerals, trace elements and electrolytes to function – not enough, and the body cannot function optimally, too much and the body simply sends the excess out as waste. The amount required of each nutrient can vary depending on the dog’s age, work load, health status, stress levels and physical condition. Young or growing dogs may need different levels of certain minerals to a dog that is spelling. A brood bitch with pups will need different things to a dog in light work. So the decision to supplement the greyhound’s diet depends on its needs. Feeding your dog good quality food is the most important step to getting the balance right. If you use commercial, prepared foods, someone else does the hard work for you, and as long as the food is fresh and stored
correctly, it should cover most of the dog’s requirements. On the other hand, if you choose to prepare the food yourself, you will need to know exactly what’s in the food to make sure it meets the greyhounds needs. Simply putting some meat, rice, vegies and bread into a bowl is not necessarily a complete or balanced diet. Which supplements to use? There are so many supplements out there it is very difficult to know what you really need. It’s a great idea to discuss the ration you make with your greyhound vet. They will have a good idea of what is likely to be missing, and can advise on a suitable supplement. If you are thinking of adding a supplement because your greyhound is not performing to the level that you expect given its training history, a thorough check up at the vets including a blood profile should be considered prior to trying to guess what is wrong. This may save you money in the long run.
Using Supplements It is very important that you follow the instructions on the supplement label. These will tell you how much of the product to use and how often. It will also have storage instructions that need to be followed to ensure the product does not spoil or lose its potency. Most supplements should be added to the diet just prior to feeding so that they do not interact with other food components, and do not lose their potency.

Supplementing the diet You need to be very careful about what ingredients are in each supplement, as some contain products that can lead to a positive swab. If you are not sure what an ingredient is or what it is for, it would be wise to discuss your choice of supplement with your greyhound veterinarian as they will be able to tell you whether or not the ingredient poses a concern.
What types of supplements are there? Multi-vitamin and Mineral Supplements Feeding these types of supplements can cover most of the greyhounds requirements. This may mean that you do not have to use multiple products to achieve the same effect – in turn saving you money.

Greyhounds with poor coats or skin conditions (other than flea infestation), can often benefit from an oil-based supplement. Many trainers will simply use animal fat, but there are a number of proprietary formulations that contain increased levels of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids. Like everything, the ratio of the fatty acids is more important than the quantity.
