This isn’t our normal kind of post and it is disappointing that we have to make this post so please bear with us!
We have never hidden the fact that we are a racing kennels, however this page has always been neutral to racing - we’re not here to push an agenda about racing but rather simply showcase our hounds for homing and those happily homed. We don’t plan to change that!
However, on Wednesday Animal Aid, along with other anti-racing organisations launched a campaign backed by the RSPCA with the heading “Missing, Fallen, Killed” and we cannot simply stay silent on these baseless allegations.
Having taken a couple of days to digest and reflect on the campaign - we owe it to our hounds, our owners, our supporters, the charities we work with and ourselves to set the record straight.
The campaign lists a number of dogs from across the country, some from Burton Lodge, that allegedly are “missing, fallen and killed” - a headline that understandably is disgusting, repulsive and attention grabbing…except it includes baseless lies!
A number our dogs that are listed are in fact retired, many already in homes and homing centres. We wanted to share some of them in the images below, with the hounds racing names, to reassure everyone that these dogs are not missing!
The campaign has asked us to mark these dogs as “found” on their database…but how do you find a hound that was never missing to start with?!
This isn’t about being pro, anti or neutral - this is simply about facts and truth, rather than lies and manipulation.
Our hounds have, and will always be, the front and centre of what we do. Those who have homed hounds from us, along with the charities we connect with, have always had full transparency on our hounds including quirks, traits, eating/toileting habits, racing history, any injuries etc. and we do our best to match hound to home.
We thank those who continue to support us, including the charities up and down the country that help get our hounds into homes.
