The GBGB's pilot project to evaluate microchipping as a permanent method of greyhound identification has entered its second stage with chipping now complete at our home track of Monmore Green. The microchips are the size of rice grain and its a great opportunity to get all the dogs done whilst the programme is free.The chips have all been implanted by a trained Paddock Steward and the process is very quick and pain-free to the greyhounds. Importantly, there do not appear to be any adverse affects of microchipping on greyhound welfare or race performance. In fact, quite a few greyhounds representing a variety of trainers have won first time out after being chipped!"
