When registering a new greyhound with GBGB, owners are required to pay their contribution to our Greyhound Retirement Scheme (GRS).

Under the GRS, a £420 bond – paid for jointly by owners and GBGB – is attached to each newly registered racing greyhound.  The full bond is unlocked when a greyhound enters an approved homing centre which means a greyhound’s future is safe and secure before they have even stepped foot on the track.

You can find out more about the GRS here.

How much do I need to pay?

• If your greyhound is British bred (e.g. bred and earmarked in Britain) you are required to make an owner contribution of £110. GBGB will contribute the remaining £310 upon the greyhound’s retirement;
• If your greyhound is Irish bred you are required to pay an owner contribution of £210.

If you have any queries regarding how much you need to pay, please email grs@gbgb.org.uk.
