Things have been absolutely hectic in the kennel over the past couple of weeks or so and nobody's had time to think about anything else except the dogs.
But here's a little something to make you smile. Two of our old racers, Waggy and Toby who have been in there home for quite a while now. It's great to see how they're getting on.

DAVE'S BLOG 9th JULY
It transpires that the PM wasn't the only one guilty of telling porkies this week. Dave's confession that he misjudged the level of work he'd be involved with after refurbing the kennel led him to break his promise to write weekly. We'll forgive him because the kennel has been great!

Here's the listing again for the kennel hand required - please pass it around!

peteswaves3 minutes ago3 min readDave's Blog 9th July 22I begin with an apology for telling a lie. OK it wasn't in the Prime Mincer's league, but I said that I would return to posting weekly. Its not happened because we've been busy. Very busy! In among all the very busy we have had six pups landed....

As we settle down with our super kennels the boss decided to post a few of the races he didn't blog about (and some he did) that he really liked.

Great fashion for the race dogs.
Starshine Collars from Deanna are the dogs b*llocks, a real industry gold standard. If its worth it for us, then its worth it for any retired dogs!

After a spell of Dave doing double time as a builder/chippy and greyhound trainer, he's back to the blog.
Its been a pretty quiet month or so on the track with the Derby monopolising action at Towcester, so it was a good time to take the kennel step and make it posh.
We've nonetheless had a few really good winners with the videos and Dave's blog which can be seen on

We are now earning our five star kennel award. ALL kennels done and dusted, and normal blogs will now be resumed.
To say we have been busy is an understatement. Results keep coming in, though we have had less racing than usual through the Derby being on.
More at the weekend!

This weeks news now up at

We're now off into Derby time. Our schedule gets thrown out a little, but happy to have so many runners.

A very busy Saturday for the kennels this week with 4.30 am start for a double meeting day. 21 runners for the day and all back safe and sound is a testament to the Towcester surface. Loving it. All every greyhound trainer wants ultimately is a safe track and Towcester fits the bill perfectly.

With Oxford now imminent we'll keep you posted about the Racing Club we're going to form.

The kennel treatment picture of the week goes to Maia and Woody (Wood Brae). Isn't it amazing what we do for the dogs?

Professor DJ and Footfield Daisy having a chat before a run.
If ever a picture puts into words the extraordinary love between trainer and dog, this is up there. This should go viral - who'd have thought Dave's smile could light up the day?

A week of low numbers mainly because Towcester has now switched to 2 Saturday meetings from the Friday one so false figures as this Saturday we have 21 runners over the 2 meetings which will show up in next weeks blog. This has worked in well with our kennel renovations that will all contribute to happy dogs and a nice environment. We still have the Derby which will affect runners over the next period, but we're hoping that Oxford will be going by then so the Derby effects will be softened for us.

Figures of 20 runners and 4 winners gives us a very good percentage at 20% for the week. Dogs continue to be in good form. Unfortunately Towcester have an unusual situation in greyhound racing these days where they have too many dogs, especially with the Derby looming. This is a temporary situation as it will turn around with the opening of Oxford which is scheduled for June time.
In the meantime our good kennel form continues which we are pleased to report.
