Greyhound Training (1959)

Chertsey, Surrey.
High angle shot of a greyhound bitch with puppies. Puppies are rather lively and very young so they tumble over each other. C/U shot of the puppies playing. They are absolutely fantastic! C/U shot of the face of happy mother - beautiful!
These are kennels of the Greyhound Racing Association at Chertsey in Surrey where around two hundred puppies are born each year. M/S of a man taking a black puppy in his arms to cut its claws. This is Mr Joe Gross who has been working in kennels for over twenty years. M/S of Mr Gross feeding the puppies. C/U shot of three black puppies drinking milk. Cut to C/U shot of 'mother and baby' - great hug. Mother's face is as long as baby's body.

well some do, but generally you let the dog be a child for a while. i find it cruel when you begin too quick too hard. but i'm sure some trainers start very early even if they're not supposed to.. like this guy who killed his child because he made him train on a threadmill. well if a dog dies, sadly, not many questions asked, especially if you're breeding.
