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.

Hugo

What a cracking little chap. He has been on an adventure lately, he found them completely over-rated  and they make you late for dinner!

Thankfully, someone cared enough to ensure his safety and he travelled North yesterday. Hugo has settled in nicely, thank you very much and is bunking up with Ada. He is housetrained, having bed and breakfasted at a volunteers for a couple of nights so he has tasted the milk of human kindness at some point.

Hugo is five years old and needs to get back on a sofa asap. We suspect we will miss him as he is quite a charmer. Even Bob allowed him on the sacred chair.

A define no with cats.

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.

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.

Annie has now moved up to Nairn to increase her chances of a home. More when we know a bit more about her.

Welcome miss!

Duchess (Flashing Duchess)

born August 23

There is a rumour that her mother is out looking for her to come in for tea. Just turned two and already out of the game. Cheeky, full of confidence and walks like a supermodel.  Duchess made the mistake of winning first time out and her connections got excited. The tiny minx soon wised up and was benched five races later.

Bravo Duchess, bravo.

Jane (Tomahurra Jane)

born Jul 22

Much as we would like to tell you about her final race we cannot. Jane last raced on Boxing Day in heavy fog and probably stopped off for a turkey sandwich at the fourth bend. Frankly the race should not have taken place.

She trialled again in April but failed to meet the cut. Jane is a plain little scrap without a spicy backstory. Jane promises not to take up much room as she is a sylphlike 27kgs.  The young lass is still a baby yet managed three wins, three more than her mother managed. Dad held the track record at Newbridge for five minutes though so that is something.

Jane is your typical girl next door – sweet & friendly, sensible & straightforward. She walks nicely on her lead and has never had a cross word with anyone or anything. Ready for her family to show up as she has been practicing snogs long enough.

Her whole life is ahead of her.
