(a) For females up to 8 years of age, 3 litters. However, with a prior veterinary certification of appropriate health and fitness for further litters and the approval in writing of a RWWA appointed Breeding Panel, a female may have 1 additional litter. The same approvals are required for a female over 8 years of age to have a litter.
(b) Eligibility for breeding is monitored by whelping notices lodged under the Racing and Wagering Western Australia Rules of Greyhound Racing 2008 for the registered breeding females.
