In Trimaris, we are limited (at the moment) to coursing only sighthounds.
Other than our Ridgeback lurcher, our college is completely made up of
greyhounds. We have not had any problems yet (knock on wood) but I am sure the
Midrealm and Meridies have had their share.

Thank you Rebecca -- this was very helpful.
I do understand the stringent contract and rules an individual is obligated to
when they choose to adopt, and it sounds even more stringent for retired
greys, but ultimately isn't that a contract between an individual and adoption
group? If the group thinks a person is using their adopted dog inappropriately,
why would they go after the SCA and not the individual?
Also, isn't this a somewhat limited problem to deal with? If it came up once
and was dealt with, why would a society-level position need to be created?
Also, how many kingdom groups are made up solely of retired racing
greyhounds? From our point of view, I believe less than 5% of dogs
participating in our kingdom's coursing activities are retired racing
greyhounds, so very few of us would be obligated to follow any NGA or
adoption group rules out here.
Why do the greyhound adoption groups not let you course an adopted
greyhound? And, if that is the case, why are adopted greyhounds being
coursed in the SCA?
As far as a state gambling commission inquiry goes, I think it makes more
sense for the BoD to handle it with an appropriate legal team, rather than a
Houndmaster/mistress. I suspect a charge of illegal gambling would be pretty
serious and potentially detrimental to the society.
