Dr. David McGrath:

There was a question about traceability. This falls into that area. Greyhounds are the most traceable dogs in the country. Every greyhound has a microchip, an ear tattoo and an identity card. There is no comparison with a dog in the street or in somebody's house. The greyhounds are getting a bit caught up in the discussion of pet dog breeding issues. A Sunday newspaper recently stated that some greyhound breeders in Ireland have 500 breeding bitches. What was all that about? That was in one of the main Sunday newspapers. It was an article about puppy farms, which have nothing to do with greyhounds. It does not represent what is happening on the ground.
