Dogs allegedly being shot on breeder's farm
Mauk, GA (US)

Incident Date: Wednesday, Aug 15, 2001
County: Taylor

Disposition: Alleged

Alleged: Sherry Grimmard

Based on a complaint, investigators visited a farm in Mauk, Georgia on August 15, 2001. When they examined the back of the property they found a dozen mounds of dirt and the skeletal remains of a greyhound. Farm owner, Sherry Grimmard, said that she buries dogs that have died but denied allegations that she was shooting greyhounds. Grimmard admitted to using jack rabbits to train the greyhounds and showed investigators the jack-pen. Grimmard was told that the greyhound cages were too small. Investigators suggested, but did not require, that they be replaced. For the follow-up visit by the AG department on August 20th, Grimmard was accompanied by her attorney who is also a greyhound breeder and by NGA inspector, Craig Randle. Suggestions were made during the inspection that the jack-pen include an escape hole for the jack rabbits.

NOTE: As of 2003, Grimmard is still a member, in good standing, of the National Greyhound Association.
