Disqualifications and fighting

An attacking greyhound must be disqualified from the racing. Not only for safety reasons – to avoid the greyhounds being injured – but because the attacking greyhound ruins the entire run, entire race.
An attacked greyhound is held down in its run and slowed down, while the greyhounds in the last positions are able to get to the leading positions. Certainly, unintentional collision is not considered as attacking.
Attacking is always intentional assault against a peaceful partner that is simply faster than the aggressor. Even turning head towards a sparing-partners is considered as reason for disqualification - such greyhound does not pay attention to the hare.
In such case, hunting instinct is deteriorated and aggression may prevail.

An attacking greyhound is “disqualified” – Disq. is recorded in its Racing Log.
Hardly any owner is willing to provide his calm greyhound as a sparing-partner for the “correction runs” after disqualification (max. 3 times).

After a third correcting trial, In case of another, third disqualification, the greyhound is disqualified from racing forever.

If a greyhound receives disqualification for the third time, it is not just accidental behavior, it cannot be changed. Such behavior is more than often transferred to the next litter.

Some irresponsible greyhound owners, however, send up a greyhound - fighter, that is disqualified by one organization

(that issues their own racing licences), to races that are organized
by another racing organization (that issues different licences) hoping that the greyhound won't be disqualified again.
(Note: a czech greyhound owner can race with a licence issued by the CGRF or with a licence issued with the FCI or with a licence issued by the CGRC - each organization holds its "own" races at variuos race tracks).

The catch in such “dog fighting” is not the artificial hare, but a living greyhound – the racing sparring partner.
The attacked dog is being attacked in front of the referees who do not see, guess why... 
Due to a small number of racing greyhounds in the Czech Republic, the greyhound attacks are often knowingly disregarded. 

Probably to have as many greyhounds at a race track as possible.

These are the main reasons why our organization has not been accepting greyhounds with various, different, unknown licences since our Czech Derby 2007. Bad experiences with one foreign greyhound (i.e. not owned by any of our members)  taught us a lot.
We cannot be sure if such greyhound has not attacked other racers (at races held by a different organization) and there is not record in his/her Racing book..
We prefer to believe only what we can check (we accept licences issued by the countries organized in the World Greyhound Racing Federation - IGB, GBGB, SHCF, etc.).

We have always checked FCI greyhounds before races (i.e. whether a greyhound runs near the outer fencing, in the middle or near the inner fencing of the track).
At least two trials are obligatory before a greyhound can participate in our CGRF races.
(It is well known that we require to pass at least 2 trials at our race track before we can allow such greyhound race with other dogs).
FCI greyhounds can have the FCI racing licence, however these greyhounds are not classified.

You can be sure that we do our best to have clean races, to protect greyhound welfare.
Even if we, the CGRF, would have "two and a half" greyhounds we will organize the races without fighters.
Iffy egos of some greyhound owners and race organizators have no place in our organization. The number of racing sighounds, and especially greyhounds, is very limited in the Czech Republic as greyhound races are just a hobby here.

Lots of greyhounds or lots of races "at all costs" - that is not our priority.
