(2) Subject to permission being granted pursuant to subrule (7) of this rule, a person must not permit a greyhound that the person does not train or own, to be kept at the person’s permises
(3) A trainer must not train a greyhound unless the trainer has notified a Controlling body in the manner required by it that the greyhound is kept at the registered address of the trainer.
NR34 (5)(a) A registered person must as soon as possible notify a Controlling Body that a greyhound has come into or left, the person’s care or custody (and in each of those cases including as a result of a greyhound having its ownership transferred)
LR 34.3 The Controlling Body may, upon application and for such period and on such conditions as it considers appropriate, grant an exemption from the operation of rule 34(2). Compliance with the terms of a granted exemption will constitute compliance with rule 34(2) to the extent of the exemption.
