imo we need to stop making excuses for these dogs and look to eradicate them from the breed at every opportunity (i.e. never breed with them and rub them out when they offend in races), regardless of how many successful examples we can find. It's our responsibilty as custodians of the breed.
The problem is that it so prevalent in the breed these days every sire and dam has either parents , grand parents, great grand parents cousins, litter mates that have had indiscretions
Its a mute argument because if we went with your proposal then over 50% of greyhounds would be eliminated from the racing pool and then even that wouldn't guarantee its elimination

Interesting comments from someone who has espousing the use of slow bitches as broods for decades now. Surely that is just as negative a trait as fighting or being a nonnie.
Do you have questions about greyhound racing?
