YESTERDAY

What a bad weather day it was...........I used the day to do a bit of much neglected housework.............when the phone rings.  Its a IGB steward!.....hes sat outside my house and he wants to inspect my kennels.

Nothing wrong with this...........all greyhound folk are used to these unexpected inspections........They happen often and there is never a complaint  We went through every dog on the premises, with earmarks and names being recorded.........and of course at the same time he took note that the dogs were in good condition and the kennels were up to standard.

And all this is paid for with the Trainers licence that I need in order to race my dogs.  He also checked my brood who has a nice litter of bitch puppies...............of course this is not the last check these puppies will get............as in a few weeks time another steward will come in............earmark and take all makings and put them onto a chart for registration purposes

So............why then MR GORMLEY............does all this need doing twice..............because your terrorist friends say so ...........Only last week on the Frontline Show Farmers  were warned "Be careful who you lie in bed with"..............Perhaps MR GORMLEY should heed this advice.

Oh.............and what about those BITCH puppies..............if Mr Gormley and his terrorist friends get their way ,  who's going to want them??
Nobody..............because even if you never breed a litter..............just having a female dog will mean you are a breeder......is that fair!!

Meanwhile all the unregistered puppy farmers will carry on as before
