Greyhound Breeding Scheme

Written By Meg Watkins

Between January and May 2025, approximately 220 greyhound pups were whelped, while only 126 were rehomed through Greyhounds as Pets WA.

Amanda questioned the Minister on this irresponsible overbreeding, and the increasing pressure on volunteer-run community rehoming groups.

Amanda questioned whether industry incentives, such as the WESTCHASE scheme, may unintentionally encourage overproduction. She called for a review of the scheme, including its eligibility requirements and impact on adoption and overbreeding.
