We have a celebrity in our midst. Believe me if it were not for a family situation, we would not be getting a sniff of this dog. A superb athlete. Two Group 1’s, including the Golden Collar, two track records and more Opens than a boy can count.
Thirty-four wins. Tommy and his mate Sammy (left) know more of racing than the rest of the barn dogs put together.
Owned by a member of a generation that wouldn’t let a dog out their sight, never mind ownership. This elderly man drove the 300 miles himself to ensure Tommy and Sammy’s safety. We have known him for decades and have no intention of failing his trust.
Ideally, we would like someone we know or a previous greyhound owner.
Brand new boy from a new trainer. Just a baby. No effort was spared in his connections bid to get him qualified. His siblings are equally talented. Let us get him out of here before our founder falls in love again.
Last raced June 2023 trailing in last after a bit of a rough race, something we hate to see. Took nine races in his career and deserved a better finish. He is very gentle and friendly. Also, he is clean in his kennel.
Desperately needs a change of luck. Bellamy is part of the welfare batch and is here with us in Nairn. He is only a little chap and is full of fun.
Bellamy is a straightforward lad who has spent a few weeks in a home. He passed with flying colours and it’s only because of a change in the family circumstances that he has been returned.
A simply delightful dog and one who deserves to be on his way down the drive.
A beautiful brindle and for his grading a respectable racer. Hercules won ten of his forty races and is one of our welfare cases. Nice lad who is ready to move onto the next stage of his life. It begins now, in Scotland.
Bradley has been so distressed that he has ground all his teeth down to stumps. He is as keen as mustard and is a huge boy. He is lost.
This is a little cracker of a dog. A Macmanus welfare case. His career in Britain lasted 14 days start to finish, almost eclipsing his Irish form (beaten 23 lengths on his only start). Excellent effort Kit. As you can see, he is a bit motheaten but has vastly improved from the beaten down wreck that was coaxed from the van a few months ago. Kit has begun to enjoy life again,
There are a few scars on this lad’s body, we have discovered that males were kennelled together un-muzzled. As a softer dog young Kit tended to be picked on a bit. We are looking for an owner with a heart. Nothing would give us more of a lift to see him on his way.
This is a nice kind of fellow and the sooner he is out of here the better. Needs love, lots of it.
Sad card filler who should have hung up his muzzle a good six months before the GBGB pulled up on the yard. His mother is called Nomoretogive which says it all. We have no idea what he was doing at Doncaster as he was bred for coursing. Still, ten wins is a respectable total. A big lad, a gentle giant, coming in around 40kg..
Just big, daft, and lovable.
Craddock is in part of the second batch from the Welfare Case previously documented and is now in Scotland taking in the new scenery and not bothered at all by his new friends..
Ridley last raced in December 2022. He then was stuck in the kennels until we got him at the the end of August. Product of a frankly mediocre litter. He was one of the nine McManus’s dogs that were lucky enough to still be alive.
Did his bit though, and won on five occasions. Lovely lad and a bit camera shy. Probably cannot wait to make a fresh start, though seems happy here.
He is a lovely big soft lad who is now ready for a family and a home of his own.
Here he is, moving faster than he ever did on the track…
Tubbs finished racing back end of July 2022. This 35kg lad trailed in last, when priced as a hot favourite and his connections thankfully called it a day. Part of the batch of welfare cases that arrived up here in August, Tubbs has settled nicely. Four of his mates are now on their own sofa, he watched them go. Just another ordinary black dog but could be the joy in someone’s life. It would be wonderful for him to find his family. A big soft lad.
Bit of a looker you have to admit.
Tubbs is beginning to get the hang of the new routine here at Nairn and we are slowly getting to know him.
