These are my son's two retired greyhounds. Jamie is holding Milo (Avago Milo) Sara is holding Feisty Girl. Poppy is looking on in asmazement. Double click the picture for better view.

Both dogs had a racing career before retiring. Milo being particularly successful. Milo and Poppy get on really well but not Poppy and Feisty - they are inclined to fight if not watched - we do not want Poppy to hidt feisty of course.


Interesting story about Feisty. Fesity used to run at Sittingbourne stadium. The stadium offers special party prices for groups of women - a night at the races with food, drink etc. These special prices attract groups of women from offices, hen nights etc. When they see the name 'Feisty Girl' they all think it is about them so they all have a bet. This means that when Fesity runs she always has poor odds because so much money has been bet.
The lesson here is if you have a female greyhouing called it "drunken slapper" or "aging spinster" or you will never get decent odds on a win.
