Romeo (Hawfield Romeo)
born 14th August 2021
A mercifully brief career. Romeo saw a bit of Ireland for a couple of months and then headed across the sea to Doncaster. Nine months start to finish, Romeo troubled the judge on only two occasions. Romeo was 33kgs of rippling muscle, dad being Droopys Sydney. Neither of which prevented having his *** handed to him by a slip of a girl 18 month ago. Our very own Maggie (Redbrick Bounty) thrashed him 6 1/2 lengths and he has only just recovered from the embarrassment. Been comfort eating ever since as he now tips the scales at 38 kgs.
Romeo needs love, a lot of it together with a big sofa. The big oaf is rather needy and we are looking for a special home. A retired person prepared to hold his paw and tell him it’s the taking part that counts would be preferable.
There is an outstanding dog in this crushed soul somewhere. Needs a quiet steady home to bring it out.

Oliver (Rhoden Oliver)
born June 2021
Great big lump. A huge friendly idiot whose tail is constantly wagging and loves the world. Kennelled with his sister who frankly knows how to behave correctly. Unlike Oliver.
Oliver blew his career back in August and has been protesting his innocence ever since. Red carded, disqualified, drummed out of racing, warned off Newmarket Heath. Do not darken this fine stadium’s door again. To be fair it was a rough race with little room for manoeuvre, and Oliver was the biggest. Sinking your teeth into the hot favourite is just not on though…
Daft game anyway.
“From the moment we met him to the moment we left, Oliver’s tail never stopped wagging – this is one happy boy! Oliver is confident and friendly and, despite it being his first time to the park, he took the whole trip in his stride! Oliver travelled well – jumping into the car and laying down for the journey and, when we arrived, he walked nicely and calmly on his lead and didn’t pull. Even when we saw small breeds and a squirrel, Oliver was pretty chilled out. He was interested in watching some smaller dogs running around off their lead but was soon distracted when we offered him a treat! The way to this boy’s heart is most definitely through his stomach!”

Saturn (Geneva Saturn)
August 2021
This lady is a hardworking Northern lass. Twenty-two wins out of nearly a hundred races and had a bit of an epiphany in a rough race last June. Saturn downed tools on the third bend and her connections quite rightly called it a day. The lady doesn’t owe the game a damn thing. Twenty – eight kilos and as game as a pebble.
Her trainer says she is a quiet girl and in spite of her form, likes nothing more than laying upside down with her legs in the air.
We have no problem with that! If she could find a home we might do it too!

River (Monbeg River)
born Jan 22
Likes to go for walks and be out and about. Meeting new people, that sort of thing. No-one told him that you had to move a bit faster to get on a track. River was last in his only race, back in Aug 23 at Enniscorthy. Hammered by 14 lengths, River found himself on a ferry bound for Doncaster and a fresh start. Maybe he was a late bloomer. Six godawful trials later and the trainer refused to be further embarrassed. Even our Branno beat him with ease.
This lad has been waiting for a home to show up and and spring him from the kennel of shame.
His trainer couldn’t agree more!

Reeves (Cushie Reeves)
born Feb 2022
Hit the deck back in Feb at Doncaster and also managed to get disqualified for life to boot. We have looked at the form that day and it seems to have been an extremely rough race. Horrible. If you look closely, you can see the huge scar on his back from the sixty stitches he needed. His trainer tells us there were no internal injuries and he has made a full recovery.
The way he was leaping around would confirm that. Could hardly stand still for the camera and was the friendliest chap we have seen for a while. His adopter will have a lifetime of stories to tell/embellish as a bonus.
“We have been lucky to walk Reeves on a number of occasions. He is a fabulous boy who absolutely loves people and wants to be friends with everyone he meets. He is great with other hounds and he hasn’t shown much interest in the other breeds he’s seen whilst out and about, including smaller dogs such as Cockapoos. Reeves really enjoys being out and about and travels well in the car – jumping in by himself & laying straight down. He enjoys his adventures so much, he’s always a little reluctant to get out of the car upon his return to kennels. Reeves is a big boy but he is easy to walk and doesn’t pull on his lead. He’s a confident, happy go lucky dog so would probably be happy as an only dog or he could also live happily with another male or female Greyhound. Reeves is such a happy boy who is going to bring some lucky person so much joy”
Reeves is lucky to still be with us and deserves a special home.

Jet (Ballyglass Jet)
born May 2023
A baby.
Jet is a very quiet dog in his kennel and spends most of his time on his bed. Good with other dogs and can be kennelled with dogs or bitches. Jet was retired a few weeks ago due to a muscle injury. His retirement hasn’t exactly left the Derby betting wide open. Jet has recovered well and proved to be a good traveller in the car once he figured out how to jump in one.
Like most youths, he is a bit brainless and keen at the moment. Jet would be best suited to an adopter who is familiar with the breed and can keep him out of trouble until he matures a bit. Up to now his life has been vans and tracks, so heavens knows what he thought of the ducks and the dogs in the park. As for peeing on a tree…
Lovely type. Lovely looker. More when we know a bit more about him.
