“Mustang Layla”
d.o.b. October 2020
Hi all,
Just me looking cute and gorgeous. I wasn’t a bad racer in my day (6 weeks ago tbh). I won 19 of my 108 races and usually landed the odd gamble when the chips were down. I am not very big, 26 kgs on a big pants day, but what I lack in size I make up for in heart.
I get my bandage off today which is a pity as it got me lots of attention. My racing days are over apparently but my trainer wants the very best for me. Contact Deb if you are interested. No need to come to Scotland as I am still with my friends in Ripley, Derbyshire.

Keiran (Sadies Supernova)
d.o.b. 13/12/2018
This chap needs a bit of a leg up. Although he is quite safe now, his all-breed rescue asked for our help. Keiran is a 2018 whelp who has never raced in Britain. Not entirely useless, Keiran has two wins under his belt in Ireland and last raced there back in March 21.
We know he was exported to Spain in May 2021. This dog has more airmiles than Katie Price!
He seems to have apparated about 5 months ago in Doncaster where he is currently living in a wonderful foster. In some ways he epitomises trade waste racers. Black, male and no fairy princess at 34 kgs. Keiran won’t get anywhere without a push. He seems to be a friendly lad and needs to find his place in the world.
If only he could talk. If only he could tell us where on earth he has living for the last three years!
If you can help, please contact…

We have decided to make better use of our online shop. We will be posting things all the time.
There will still be all our usual stock items but we are also adding items that we get donated. We get some really lovely and varied items and we will be updating the shop on a regular basis.
When I say we, I mean Emma our Pickering shop manager. She is brilliant and does this voluntary, in her own time.
We aren’t in a good place financially but I will post more about that after the shows and Zip Wire challenge.
Happy shopping….Deb

My name is Bess, I was born in March 2022. I’m not very good at racing, but I am good at being cute and beautiful. I don’t race anymore…apparently I need a home now not a kennel. No clue what that is but I’m willing to learn. I’m in South Yorkshire at the minute…

We had a phone call to say a local trainer had lost his licence, he had been filling out retirement forms saying the dogs had been rehomed. They hadn’t. They are no longer alive.
There were another 18 dogs in the kennel. This is Hello Khiara she has faithfully served her trainer. At 5 year’s old she has had 156 races at Doncaster. Yes !!!! 156 so in around 3 of her racing years, she must have raced every week sometimes twice a week to make up for injury time. She has a gracias muscle injury (it will heal well without treatment now she’s not racing) and a tear on her shoulder (trainer said she’d done it the night before we collected her, Chris from Donaldson’s disagrees more 4/5 days and was left untreated.
I seriously hope the other dogs have been taken off him. How many dogs have you had killed? Lee McManus….

Penny (Pennys Draiochts)
Update….she hasn’t been spayed the lying tw—.
Her racing name was Penny’s Draiochts
Born 12th September 2018.
She raced at Doncaster up until July last year, clocked up 71 races. She has been spayed and she was rehomed in February this year….shame it wasn’t a better home.
Shame they left her in the stray kennel for a week.
Thanks to Cliffe kennels again for letting us know about this little beauty and thanks to foster parents for stepping in and getting her out of the pound.
We’re calling her Penelope for now.
Penny is currently in South Yorkshire on foster waiting for her retirement home, transport and meetings can be arranged. She raced over 70 times out of Doncaster, and this gentle sweet girl is now ready to be homed.
She is a clean, sociable and happy girl. Mixes well with sight hounds and other breeds. She travels well, very calm on the lead. Whilst in her foster home she has been a joy to have around, she has an appetite as big as her heart and has easily settled into home life.

As many of you are aware, some bright spark ( very expensive marketing company no doubt ) has changed the way that people can choose the “Charity of their choice” to receive the lifeline vouchers. Which I have to say, are worth having. We have just saved £150 on a £240 shop.
To cut a long story short, bright spark has decided that the Charity has to be within a 20 mile radius restriction of the store….and so do you!! So no longer can you chose your preferred Charity…you just have to chose a local one.
This will impact us greatly for any new people wanting to support us, but I have been assured that if we are your chosen Charity that will still be the case.
A lot of Charities are not happy and rightly so. I have just spoken to Adam who is the Charity Co-Ordinator at Pets at Home. He says the radius restriction will be removed but he doesn’t know when. He has asked that we email in so he can put pressure on bright spark to sort it out asap…

After being in 2 foster homes Rocco has decided that he wants to live the life of luxury, on his own.
Whilst he is absolutely fine with other dogs out and about, he just doesn’t want to live with them.
Thanks to Andy for fetching him up a few weeks ago. He is settled in kennels but you can tell he wants to be out and back in a home….
This was Rosshill Rocco bn Jan 2021 in his prime…..
Not a lot of thanks he got did he Anthony Upton? GBGB Trainer.
Don’t worry, they know he is safe with us.
This was the original post..
Urgent foster home needed for Rocco. He is 3 years old and has been in a home for a few months but doesn’t really like all the attention that he is getting from the little human person in the house. The trainer has said he will take him back and put him to sleep. The owners do not want that and just want him to get another home with no little people…
He is currently in Rochdale. If a foster home isn’t found he will come up here, but ideally he needs rehoming down there.
From his foster mom..
The handsome Rocco is looking for his forever home. He is 3 years old and house trained. He’s a big softie loves cuddles actually smiles lol. Can be quite strong on the lead. Make a lovely couch pooch
he responds very well to attention

The farrier came today. I was very scared, I’m scared about most things to be honest.
I do a lot of jumping which makes my mom jump too and shout “jesus Odin”.
My front shoes were welded on so I had to be sedated to get them off…it took ages but they are off now so I can go out with Tom & Joey. They’ll show me the ropes.
I don’t normally look over the door but I needed somewhere to rest my enormous head….I’ll be awake soon, I hope they have my tea ready, I missed lunch…
Odin…
