Blue Paws Scheme Ceases Operation

Greyhound Racing New South Wales has made the decision to suspend the breeding program after it was found the program didn't coincide with the National Welfare Strategy.

Some of the key reasons included the state's purpose of decreasing the number of greyhounds that are deemed unsuitable for racing and to prevent over-breeding practices.

The program has been in operation since 2006 and was implemented to encourage and rewards participants breeding successes.

GRNSW will offer refunds to registered greyhounds which have raced since 1 January 2015 and never won a TAB race, or unnamed Blue Paws registered greyhounds which are under two years of age on 30 June, 2015.
