Our very own Sin Bin Annie hit the track on Dec 21st for her first schooling race. And school was hard that day. You can read all the racing lines and reports on Southland Greyhound Park’s web site, but I’ve pulled out Annie’s schooling race for you to look at here. You’ll...

The pups were due to head to Southland at the end of November, but were held back a couple weeks because they had a bit of a cough. Not only do you not want pups to travel if they are under the weather (travel stress can make things worse), but obviously you don’t want...

Our first racer, Bunny (Fast Fluffy) travelled to Greyhounds of Shamrock in Louisville, KY this weekend in search of her forever home. We believe in responsible racing greyhound ownership and will be sending a $200 donation to Greyhounds of Shamrock to help cover Bunny’s vetting and placement expenses.

When we bought half interest in our first racer, I made the proclamation that I’d rather have a flunkie for my first racer than a super star. After all, once you have a superstar, there’s no where else to go but down. The racing gods were listening that day and have granted my wish...

Bunny schooled again on Thursday.She didn’t exactly burn up the track on her first schooling race, so I anxiously and excitedly pulled up the schooling results on Friday morning. I found her race and read words that no racing greyhound owner wants to read: Fell First Turn, DNF. The DNF stands for “did not...

Unfortunately, our dear Bunny doesn’t seem to be moving as fast as the other dogs…LOL She had her first schooling race Monday morning and not only did she finish without her muzzle…she finished dead last. Of course, this was just her first schooling race . Her littermate, Wildcat Alley, performed pretty much the same...

In what’s been an otherwise sad week for us and our pack, we had some welcome news from Team Greyhound regarding our race girl, Bunny. Bunny is doing well in training, though she’s a little shy and still getting used to life in a racing kennel. Her first schooling race should be in the...

He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion
