Annie (Rapido Annie)
born November 21
Followed Will (Chasing Willibee) into fourth place a year ago, which should tell you how dire the race was. Only a week before, Annie had justified her favouritism by winning in some style. Perhaps the poppet had decided enough was enough. Annie won seven races which is astonishing considering her tiny frame.
Annie is a bit unsure of life and needs her hand holding for a bit. Friendly little girl once she gets to know you, just needs to be sure. Her significant other is Boost who also benefits from her company.
Probably best rehomed with a calm dog. Lovely gentle girl.

Jim (Emers Jim)
born July 22
Tuxedo greyhound. Stunning. Born in Ireland. Failed to impress in his first run and red carded for life in his second. Bravo Jim.
A daft puppy who’s tail never stopped wagging on our walk. Very friendly and playful and good with kids – would suit a family. He likes to be involved and with you as much as possible.
We love this sort.

Rolo (Redbrick Rolo)
born Oct 21
Described as soft as Oat. Delightful. Four attempts to get his career started to no avail, Rolo has been lozzicking at his trainers expense since March 24.
Playful, sweet and first to give a cuddle. There won’t be a dry eye in the house when he leaves.
“Rolo has been in foster for less than 2 weeks and has settled into homelife super well, he is a very affectionate boy and a people person, who likes to make sure he can see us when he knows we are around. He has been clean in the house from day one, he immediately knew to go outside to toilet, he had one or two accidents when the door wasn’t left open for him, but he is learning that we will come and let him out.
At night, he has been sleeping in our bedroom at the side of the bed as he is happier being near us and sleeps all night when he is. On the odd time he has needed the toilet in the night, he has let us know.
Rolo travels well, lays down in the car and likes to look out of the back window as we drive along. Teaching him to jump into the car is a work in progress, but it’s still very early days.
Rolo has been living with 2 other greyhounds, a male and female, and has been great with them. He likes to be around them both and they will all often play together in the garden. Having come direct from kennels, Rolo is a little unsure of other breeds and can get excited when he sees them. He has had a couple of larger breed dogs approach him off-lead and has shown no issues. As with most Greyhounds, his socialisation with other breeds is a work in progress but he is showing all the signs that he will be fine. Other breeds are understandably very interesting to him at the moment and he can get excited on the lead when they go past him, he just wants to follow them. Rolo will bark at other dogs if they bark at him first but does nothing more.
Rolo LOVES cuddles and being fussed. He also loves “borrowing” things! Anything from socks and slippers to the TV remote and my glasses, he just takes them to his bed, it’s an adorable trait! He doesn’t chew things up or wreck anything, he can put his paws up on the counter but doesn’t take food or items from the kitchen sides. Rolo loves his walks and playing with Oscar. He is totally obsessed with himself, he loves seeing his own reflection in the windows, oven and TV! He is a nosey hound, who likes to put his paws up on the windowsill to watch the neighbours walk past!
Rolo is fine being left for a couple of hours. He paces for a couple of minutes and then gets in bed, saying that he does prefer to be around his humans. If we had to sum Rolo up in one sentence we’d say, “he is an absolute dream” who would suit a first time Greyhound or dog owner, providing they had done some research about the breed. We think Rolo could live happily with another sighthound or as an only dog”.

Boost (Redbrick Boost)
born Oct 21
Quiet enough fellow. Enough brains to know when and how to quit the ring. Boost won four races but frankly we don’t think his heart was in it. Just another black dog, sitting in his kennel awaiting a family to overlook his colour. Not too big at 31 kgs. His sisters have bagged themselves great homes but his brothers Rolo and Mars are in the same situation.
Boost is a quiet and friendly boy who walks calmly on his lead. He is currently kennelled with a very timid girl and Boost’s calm nature gives her a lot of confidence. Boost would benefit from being rehomed with a female Greyhound.
He has been waiting a year now. Time he was gone.

Star (Vixons Star)
born July 2020
Strong silent type. Never hear him in the kennels. A lovely calm solid lad who needs to be an only dog. Probably holding his personality in check until he is out of the industry. Well bred, winner of 21 races and owes the game nothing.
Great with people, Star last raced back in July, trailing in last. Trialled a couple of times last month but his heart isn’t in it anymore, At five years old, it is time to call it a day.
Come on son, let’s get you a home.
“Star was super excited and enthusiastic when he realised it was his turn for a trip to the park! He will happily jump into the car by himself and lays down for the journey. Star is a lovely friendly boy who is a pleasure to take out and, after a few minutes of initial excitement, walks nicely on a loose lead. It was the first time Star has seen other breeds, and he understandably seemed a little unsure. His response was to back away rather than move towards them, but we are sure his confidence will grow with time and as other breeds become more familiar. Star didn’t react or bark at any of the breeds we saw, even 2 small dogs who were “jingling” along as they had bells on their coats! Star loves to spend time sniffing and was quite happy walking on his own without another dog for company. We think Star thoroughly enjoyed his walk because, upon returning to the kennels, he didn’t want to get out of the car! A really lovely boy who is being overlooked and deserves his chance to shine.”

Cian (Franco Cian)
March 2021
Mum took 6 Open races. Dad won the Race of Champions. Cian is more modest in his achievements! Still he isn’t workshy and and had a longer career than most on this page. Almost a hundred races is enough though and Cian became slower with each trial. Heart was willing but the flesh wanted to go back to bed.
Not the biggest at 30kgs, more on him a bit later.
Welcome Cian.
