The cost will depend on its age and ability and can start from a few hundred pounds to several thousand. • If this is your first time owning a Greyhound we would strongly advise you seek advice before your purchase. Try to find a trainer for your Greyhound first and they will be able to guide you on your first purchase. • Don’t forget the monthly costs, Trainers fees vary but on average it will cost you between £7 and £9 a day to keep your Greyhound in training. You should always contact a trainer in advance to discuss this. There may also be additional costs for veterinary fees. • A great way to reduce the cost of owning a Greyhound is to get involved in a syndicate and purchase a share in a Greyhound. You can do this with a group of friends or some trainers have syndicate opportunities available within their kennels. • Be realistic and have reasonable expectations where your Greyhound is concerned, your Greyhound probably won’t win the derby – keep things fun! The most important part of owning a Greyhound is the welfare of your Greyhound. Proper consideration should be given to what happens when your Greyhound finishes racing, ideally it will be kept as a pet. Alternatively you can find it a new home with help of a homing scheme.
