Raced for the final time April 23 and been kennelled ever since. Arrived the end of August with the batch from Lee Macmanus, the trainer subject to a welfare case. Another big lad. He is very bouncy and happy and is ready to go into the world. He is a stunning boy.

Bit smaller than some of the others on here. Weighing in at a trim 31 kgs. Less on the clock than his mate Del but still a reasonable score sheet with seven races. Still a young dog.
Doc hasn’t been on a track for over a year and is overdue a home. We have been told he is as soft as butter, loving and quiet as a mouse.
Just ready to begin his serious career as a sofa hound.

Failed to qualify back in February after a long career running at Doncaster. Del is a blue lad who tips the scales at 34kg
Del needs a home after 150 races and winning 28 of the things. More once we have talked to his trainer.
He doesn’t owe racing a darn thing.

Five races in the North of England. Managed to get his head in front once. Soon stopped any bright ideas in his subsequent races. Very friendly with other dogs and a nice sort. Neutered and ready to take his place in the world.

Card filler frankly but honest with it and won five times. Stopped dead in a race at Sheffield and owners called it a day. More later when we talk with the trainer.

Tired girl.
Needs a new career as a lounge ornament. One hundred and three races and owes racing nothing.
Bambi finally hung up her boots on 1st March whilst still a contender. Right to the last the lady has given her all. Not the largest of girls, heart is bigger than most.
Needs to be going down the drive looking through the rear window of her new family’s hatchback!!!
born November 2020
One hundred and twenty-seven races, winning or being placed in over 50 of the blighters. This is what his trainer sys about him.
Really lovely boy. Calm, quiet, friendly. Apparently he’s brilliant with other dogs. Can be kennelled with dogs or bitches. Used to be kennelled with Plus Four (our Nixon). Walks calmly on lead.
Lets hope he has the same sort of luck.
On Bank Holiday Monday 5th May, we will be having a stall at Knaresborough Pets Day Dog Show. It’s a lovely day out with many animal charity stalls, refreshments and displays, as well as the fun dog show. Do come along and support us. It will be in the grounds of Knaresborough House, right in the town centre.
One look at him was enough. He calmly returned our gaze. We tore up the plan and his docs went straight to the Sponsor Dogs file. It simply wasn’t worth the risk. Trialled twice in Ireland without increasing anyone’s pulse and rocked up at Tia soon after. Tarzan was barely two years old and like so many, culled early from the game he was bred for. Rusheen Bouler wasn’t even registered with the GBGB.
Still our lad was on the payroll and has earned his corn. It is impossible to count the number of girls he has welcomed over the years. Tarzan was easy to look after and earned his promotion to the big kennel (house). He thoroughly enjoyed getting fussed over by his old flame Lana, but the young strumpet Duchess was more than he could cope with. Over the last few months, he became a bit wobbly but still enjoyed the outings with the others to the beach. Still adored his ham slices at two o’clock, (Sainburys Taste the Difference) and could usually be found following a stray sunbeam around the house.
We are going through the wringer at the moment and there is a big hole in the house tonight. Tia does not just lose a dog, it loses a member of our family. Tia’s sponsors, staff and supporters have known the day was coming for a while. I would personally like to thank the sponsors who have remained loyal, some travelling specifically to see him over the years.
Thanks for the love big lad. So gentle at the end.
I loved you very much.
