Cabarita goes to the Greenhounds

Lulu, Sammy and Gypsy have joined the growing list of pet Greyhounds in NSW that have been passed their Greenhound Collar test.
The dogs can now they can walk in public muzzle free wearing their special Greenhound collars that shows the public and council staff they have been assessed.
Proud owners, Mary Callander (Lulu) and Babette Angell (Sammy and Gypsy) are thrilled that their wonderful Greyhounds have become the first Greenhounds in Cabarita Beach, and they urge more owners to complete the training and assessment.
To qualify for the exemption, a Greyhound must successfully complete an approved re-training program and pass a behavioural test conducted by an authorised assessor.
To begin the Greenhound program, owners of pet Greyhounds must register with www.greenhounds.com.au http://www.greenhounds.com.au and complete the initial details that includes the microchip number and life time council registration information.
Local vet Dr Merridie Fury has recently qualified as an authorised assessor for the Tweed/Northern Rivers area, and will assess Greyhounds once they have completed their re-training program, an in-house program of a minimum of six weeks.
Pet Greyhounds walking our streets on the leash without muzzles would encourage more people to adopt these wonderful, mild mannered super dogs.
And walking muzzle free would stop people asking: ³do they bite?² Or ³Are they vicious?² Owners of pet Greyhounds are ambassadors of the breed and more Greenhounds with their approved green collars can only improve their image as a suitable family pet.
The NSW Companion Animals Act 1998 (section 15(1)) requires that allgreyhounds must wear a muzzle when in a public place. In February 2011 the NSW Companion Animals Regulation 2008 (section 33B(1)) was amended to provide an exemption to pet and retired racing greyhounds that have successfully completed an approved Greyhound re-training program and passed the required assessment.
