Jackson (Ryecroft Apollo)
born November 2019
Gives kisses. Do you need to know more?
Took twelve of his races over two years so more than earned his keep. Beaten by 0.03 in his final race by a slip of a girl five kilos lighter than him.
Street cred shattered; he hasn’t stepped foot on a track since.
“We had the pleasure of taking this gorgeous boy out to a local park today and he was such a gentleman. He travelled well in the car, laying down for the journey and seemed totally unphased by anything he saw at the park, including other dogs and a horse. Jackson really seemed to enjoy the change of scenery and took everything in his stride, walking calmly on his lead.
He is so affectionate and when we stopped for a rest/photos he gave us his famous kisses and then was just happy to have a sniff and watch the world go by! His trainer says he loves everyone and is also good with kids.”
Needs a change of luck. In Doncaster so please ring Deb for more details.

Four (Plus Four)
d.o.b. 24/5/2021
Like some of us at Tia, needs his roots doing! Just a young lad. Four (the name has to go) is scared of the world and everything in it. Needs a sympathetic soul to show him a brighter side to life.
His nerves haven’t stopped him showing a clean pair of heels and five races are nothing to be ashamed of. Last graced a track back in April and has been waiting for his family to show up ever since.
In Doncaster still. Please ring Deb, it would be lovely to see him with his own Xmas stocking.

Lewis
This is Lewis; he walks beautifully on the lead; no pulling at all, stops when you stop… hasn’t even been heard barking yet!
Do It Martin was his racing name and he will be 5 years old in February. He has been through the mill and was picked up as a stray in Bradford in October this year.
Lewis is currently in a foster home recovering from a few small injuries…Whether he will be available anytime soon, we don’t know as resident greyhound girl seems quite smitten..

Crockett (Capel Rocky)
d.o.b. 2/10/19
Another Macmanus dog. At Nairn with us. Dead heated in his only race in Britain, March 22. His kennel mate Ridley was a nostril behind him. Then nothing. Probably been in a kennel ever since.
Go back to his grandparents and his pedigree positively glitters. His granny was the rockstar Kildallon Maid, one of the fastest bitches of her generation.
Seems to prefer our place to his former lodgings. Welcome Crockett.
Please ring Deb, Crockett is with us at Nairn

‘Kilara Scottie’
d.o.b. 2/3/21
This is a young dog who should have been down the road weeks ago. Scottie likes the joint and wouldn’t mind staying on a bit if it all the same to you. None of that nasty racing, plenty of mates and the grub is epic. High time Scottie found his own sofa and place in society. We don’t think he can be homed with cats, so would be suitable for someone knowledgeable about the breed.
His owner had retired from training and almost cried with relief that we would take Scottie. The gentleman had tried for six months to find a place and drove for four hours to bring him here.
From a high achieving family, Scottie raised everyone’s hopes by coming second in a Group One. That sadly proved to be the zenith of his career. Â Unlike his four sisters, who are absolute superstars, one bringing home the bacon only last week at Monmore.
His mother can barely hold her head up for the shame.
