Latest arrival at our kennels in Nairn. A Macmanus welfare case. His career in Britain lasted 14 days start to finish, almost eclipsing his Irish form (beaten 23 lengths on his only start).  Excellent effort Kit.  As you can see, he is a bit ribby and motheaten and Tia is all over both. This is a nice kind of fellow and the sooner he is out of here the better. There is a beautiful dog in there somewhere. Needs love, lots of it.

Welcome Kit.

Full of beans and very friendly with it. Suit people who like exercise, cross-fit, own fit bits, that sort of thing!

Presley has nothing to be ashamed of with his score sheet. Nineteen wins out of 102 races. Tough lad who has just retired and in danger of being forgotten because of his colour.

Presley is with us in Scotland; Deb a ring if you are interested.

Probably more suited to being in a sole dog household

 

Lad who has been rotting in his Kennel since his last race in June 2022, until he came up here in August. Another of the Macmanus dogs.

Veteran of 106 races and should have been on a sofa long ago.

Bauer is probably the most troubled of the lot. Rumour has it that McManus kennelled dogs together without muzzles. The track vet was always stitching them up. Bauer has scars all over him. He watches every move in the kennels and i only hope he sleeps well on a night. He is coming round, we can catch him now in the paddocks and he is learning to trust again but very, very slowly.

Mulder won 4 of his 20 races, the last one was in March 2022 and he never left his trainers kennel again.

He sits firmly at the back of the kennel waiting for us to make a wrong move. A very nervous lad at the moment. One of the Lee Macmanus batch of nine we took in at the end of August. He needs an experienced home, preferably with another dog but this boy must be kept safe and not let off his lead even in a secure paddock.

Work in progress.
