Stud Masters, FS Importers and Stud Dogs
To breed greyhounds in New Zealand you need to be a licensed Stud Master, Litter Master or Breeder. To find out more about what is involved in breeding greyhounds please refer to the GRNZ Rules of Racing and Greyhound Welfare Standards. Additionally, see the breeding timeline graphic and related processes and forms below. The breeding of greyhounds is a vital part of a successful greyhound racing sport in New Zealand. And it needs to be done right. Choosing the right combination of Dam and Sire can have a big impact. Growing pups then need the benefit of the best possible food, the right amount of handling and exercise, and close monitoring if they are to develop into athletes.
From 1 August 2018 GRNZ are no longer importing Frozen Semen into New Zealand. To assist all breeders to collaborate, below you will find a list of the countries’ Stud Dogs and Stud Masters and FS importers.
If you would like to list your dog as a stud, register as a stud master or frozen semen supplier/importer, contact GRNZ at [email protected] with your stud’s details and please ensure all your licences are up to date.
