Bendigo Adoption Day postponed due to

kennel cough at GAP Seymour GAP Seymour will remain closed until further notice as

a precautionary measure after a number of dogs were

discovered with kennel cough.

The decision to temporarily close Seymour GAP,

following veterinary advice, will also impact the

Bendigo Adoption Day which was scheduled for August

13.

The Bendigo Adoption Day has now been

rescheduled to Sunday, August 27, pending no further

cases of kennel cough at Seymour.

Kennel cough is similar to the common cold in

humans and most dogs recover within a few weeks.

No new dogs will be accepted into GAP Seymour

during this period but intakes will continue at GAP Mt

Mercer.

No dogs can leave GAP Seymour until completion of

quarantine.

However, a restricted number of greyhounds will be

available at Baxter during the temporary closure.

GAP pre-entry assessments August 14 and August

15 will be rescheduled and no GAP adoption dogs will

be made available for RSPCA.

No collar assessments will be accepted at GAP Seymour

but the Pilot Green Greys assessment at Baxter on

Thursday, August 10 will proceed.

Volunteers and the public will not have access to

GAP Seymour during the closure.

The temporary GAP Seymour closure follows a

recent spike in kennel cough across the Victorian

greyhound racing industry.

AGRA GREYHOUND OF THE MONTH

JULY 2017

“FAST TIMES”

AGRA’s Greyhound of the Month for July is

brilliant New South Wales owned and Queensland

trained sprinter Fast Times following his outstanding

win in the Group 1 Ubet Winter Cup at Albion Park

on 6 July.

A son of Barcia Bale and Group 3 winner Clockwise,

Fast Times has long been held in high regard by his

trainer and had built a stellar resume which included

victory in the Lismore Maiden series last December to

go with a Queensland Derby final berth and a runner-up

effort in the Richmond Riches series in May.

Brett was full of praise for his chaser in what was

a performance that belied a dog which had started only

16 times prior to Thursday night.

“True grit from a good chasing young dog to do

that at his 17th start. I couldn’t be happier with him.”

Brett said.

“The first thing I saw was that Ando’s Mac also

jumped ok from out wide but we had the pace to beat

him to the first turn.”

Brett admits Bubble Guppy surging through in the back

straight caused a heart-in-mouth moment,

“He gave (Bubble Guppy) every chance because

he sat off the track. If Bubble Guppy had have gotten

through and held him off a bit he may not have come

back.”

“It was two good dogs and it was the longest 29.77 I’ve

watched in a race.”

A trip to Ipswich a few weeks ago appears to have

worked the oracle with Fast Times’ box manners

according to his trainer.

“That’s when he was last beginning, in those early

runs (at Ipswich).”

“You just go back to what was working and where

it was and you hope the change works and it did.”

Following the Group 1 victory Fast Times went to the

Meadows to contest another Group 1 the Maturity

Classic. Without having seen the track he won his heat

brilliantly first up on July 15 in a fast 29.92.

A week later in the semi-final he won again in

30.15. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury in the lead up

to Saturday night’s final and had to be scratched on

Friday.

The injury shouldn’t keep him sidelined for two

long and let’s hope he can take his place the Queensland

heats of the National Sprint Championship on August

10.

Fast Times is raced by Terry Hill and trained by

Tony Brett of Grandchester in Queensland. Fast Times

is a Black dog whelped April 2015 by Barcia Bale from

Clockwise (Magic Sprite x Elizabeth Royal). He has

won 13 of his 19 starts and has been placed on three

occasions his current stake earnings stand at $152,360.

AGRA congratulates owner Terry Hill, trainer Tony

Brett and Fast Times on being awarded the AGRA

Greyhound of the Month for July 2017.

He joins last month’s winner Mister Twister, Fanta

Bale (2), Falcon’s Fury and Lightning Frank as the

AGRA Greyhound of the Month winners for 2017.

greyhounds to follow, based on

their breeding and recent

performances.

WHISKY ROSE

Black bitch, November 2015 Hostile x St Trinians Gal.

Raced by Ben Pryse and trained for him by Barry Mills

as Badaginnie.

Having first race start when fourth from box one

over 525 metres at The Meadows (MEP) on Wednesday

9 August, beaten 7.9 lengths in the race won by the

more experienced Lektra Stroll (30.88).

Led early and unable to hold off the challenge

from the more experienced campaigners, but that was a

good effort and a sign of better things to come.

SCRAPPY DOO

Fawn Dog, April 2015 Cosmic Rumble x Diamond

Cluster). Trained at Willow Grove by Trevor Whitford,

for Michael Chilcott.

Taking a while to mature, with 14 starts now for

four placings, but last start third, beaten 3.73 lengths

over 525 metres at The Meadows (MEP) on 9 August,

in the race won by Candy Rose (30.88), coming from

box six was a good effort.

Prior to that placed over 545 metres at Ballarat in

previous four starts and is worth following.

ME BROS BAD

Black bitch, May 2015 Barcia Bale x Creative Mojo).

Raced and trained by Max Zammit at Exford.

Raced eight times now for a win, over 400 metres

at Geelong (22.65) and two placings.

Caught the eye with her last start third over 525

metres at The Meadows (MEP) on 9 August, beaten

1.13 lengths in the race won by So Amazing (30.79).

Before that had no luck when fifth over 515

metres at Sandown (SAP) on 6 August, also brom box

eight.

She hasn’t been closer to the rails than box four in

her last five starts, so keep an eye out for her when she

does draw inside box which will probably suit her

better.

Prevention is better than cure, right?

With breeding numbers down by around 60%, and an estimated 30

-40% of pups not being named, I would like to start a new service

- early education.

I'd like to see this become my main, if not only service. I feel it's a

critical step our industry has neglected for too long, and with the

poor percentages above, its important we become more efficient

with what we breed.

I'll provide details in a day or so, but basically this program is for

3-9 month old pups, with a minimum of 12 weeks to gain real

benefit from the intense one-on-one education. But longer the

better!

There will be 6 stages of which your pup will go through, all

designed to ensure your greyhound is a well-rounded, forward,

confident and keen chaser, with his/her prey-drive fully unlocked!

They'll still get all the standard rearing, but will also get exposed

to the kennel life as well as lots of bullring, box and drag lure

work.

For older pups, at stages 4, 5, and 6, your hound will be a junior

race dog, they'll even compete against another pup behind the drag

and on the clock, so that'll be great for syndications to keep clients

excited!

With early and consistent positive reinforcement, I can safely and

confidently offer a full refund on the extra service if (IF) your pup

doesn't break-in. That's $15 per week refund, even if you use the

full 40 weeks, or minimum 12 weeks. (*conditions apply).

Kennel Cough - Special Report

From page 1

Prevention is largely reliant on regular annual

vaccination and good kennel management.

Participants who suspect a greyhound of having

kennel cough should immediately isolate the

greyhound, disinfect their kennels, and contact their

veterinarian for advice on treatment and

vaccination.Individual immunity to the disease can be

maximised by maintaining a regular program of

vaccinations in all dogs, from puppy through to

adulthood.

Kennel cough is a complex disease caused by

various combinations of viruses and bacteria, so

vaccination may not always prevent the disease.

However, vaccination will minimise the severity of

symptoms in most cases.

GRV recommends that all participants speak to

their veterinarian as soon as possible about preventative

measures, including vaccination, to decrease the spread

of the current outbreak of this disease.

Kennel Cough – reducing spread in the greyhound

racing industry

This is a short brochure to explain the importance of

appropriate management of Kennel Cough in

greyhound racing kennels.

What is Kennel Cough?

Kennel Cough is a highly contagious disease in dogs,

and is caused by a number of upper respiratory viruses

(including canine parainfluenza) and bacteria (usually

Bordetella bronchiseptica).

How do dogs get Kennel Cough?

Kennel Cough is spread as droplets in the air from one

coughing dog to a healthy dog.

When an infected dog coughs, the bacteria and viruses

will usually die quickly in the air unless those droplets

are inhaled by another dog in close proximity. Once a

greyhound has inhaled the infection, it usually takes

between five and seven days for symptoms to begin.

It is important to note that even after the coughing has

stopped and your greyhound appears well, they can

remain infectious for up to three months.

What are the symptoms of Kennel Cough?

The symptoms of Kennel Cough include:

• runny nose

• sneezing

• dry, hacking cough

How long does Kennel Cough last?

Depending on the general health of your greyhound, the

exact infectious agent(s) associated with the disease,

and your greyhound’s vaccination status, Kennel Cough

can last from a few days to several weeks.

Can Kennel Cough be prevented?

Annual vaccination against the Bordetella

bronchiseptica bacteria and canine parainfluenza virus

(part of the C5 vaccination) can prevent Kennel Cough

outbreaks or at least help to reduce the incidence and/or

severity of the disease in racing kennels. As described

earlier, Kennel Cough is often caused by a combination

of viruses and bacteria, although it is often the

Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria that causes the

severe cough; and it is the coughing that spreads the

disease.

Vaccination is especially important because dogs with

Kennel Cough can continue to spread the disease for up

to three months after their symptoms have disappeared.

Kennel Cough vaccinations can be obtained through

your veterinarian in injectable, intranasal (nose) or oral

forms. The intra-nasal and oral vaccinations can be very

effective in preventing the spread of Kennel Cough, as

they usually act more rapidly than the injection. This is

because the intra-nasal and oral vaccines act on the

mucus membrane lining of the nasal and oral passages,

preventing the viruses and bacteria from gaining entry

into the animal.

My greyhound has Kennel Cough, what do I do?

At the first sign of Kennel Cough, the sick greyhound

should be immediately isolated from all other dogs on

your property and your veterinarian contacted.

Your veterinarian will provide you with information

about treatment options, quarantine and vaccination

options for that greyhound and any other dogs on your

property.

The kennel area where your sick greyhound was being

kept should be completely disinfected with hospital

grade disinfectant. Remember, the disease travels from

dog to dog through droplets in the air, so the whole

kennel facility should be disinfected and all bedding,

drinking and feeding utensils, and lures washed in hot,

soapy water.

Scrubbing is important to breakdown the surface of the

infection droplets and prevent spread. Any outdoor

housing (eg undercover kennel areas in day yards etc.)

should also be disinfected.

In addition, ventilating your kennel building

(opening doors at either end to allow fresh air in)

will also help reduce disease spread.
