Sarah Clausen, greyhound and family life

It’s a rare opportunity to be able to do the job you love AND spend time with your family while doing it, but this is what Sarah Clausen does. Her life is quite busy. As both mum and greyhound trainer, she looks after all her hounds and her two youngsters as well. Luckily there are things even a tiny human can do to help mum out, and said tiny human is pretty enthusiastic too! The most important job he does is play with the puppies (dream job tbh). It’s great for puppies to experience things like meeting kids when they’re young. It’ll really help them become calm, confident and friendly adult dogs who are used to people of all ages.

This video is part of our ongoing series featuring the real people inside New Zealand’s greyhound community and how they live, work and play with this incredible breed. New Zealand’s greyhound sector is on notice, and greyhound people deserve a fair go to show how dedicated they are to ensuring their dogs’ quality of life. Help us by sharing these real stories so we can educate Kiwis on how greyhounds in New Zealand live today.
