Champion greyhound being offered for stud services in China

Greyhound racing is banned in China, although illegal racing does take place there. There are no animal welfare laws in the country.

Gardaí are investigating the circumstances surrounding how a champion greyhound apparently sold to an Irish buyer to race is now being offered for stud in China.

Gougane Jet, a three-year-old former British sprinter of the year, won 29 races out of 42 runs from May of 2022 before reportedly being sold to an Irish owner to race in October last year.
