Ridgy is now back at my kennels because her times do not really justify keeping her in training,although she does look the part she is several lengths behind some of the others in the litter. Can not fault her keen attitude towards the game though.
George is going well and his first time out the closed boxes left him a bit flat footed to say the least. The experience will do him good and improvement is likely.
Ridgy settled in well and ate up and decided Baxter the Labrador was still a friend and good for a laugh!
Greyhound kennels established on the West Coast of NZ. The kennel name comes from the delightful description Helen Clark used when talking about West Coasters in 2000. The open spaces and the beaches were a top place to rear pups up until racing age. Now Based close to Oxford Canterbury on 4 hectares. We now breed and train as well as rear pups.

George and Ridgy at Chertsey Track 27th March
Sorry about the back straight guessing quality but the inside area was long grass! First time out of closed boxes.

March News
The two pups are learning their trade and George seems to be showing some promise. Ridgy is very keen but lacks a bit of pace so will be coming back to the kennels to mature. Skippy is now a few weeks out of season and seems to be coming right and enjoying the Coast and her sister Maggie. A hedgehog took a bit of a ear bashing but for some reason the dogs were not keen on attacking it but were certainly trying to deafen it!!!!
Skippy,s sister Utar Jet is running well on the north and is knocking on the door for another win.

Recent updates.
The two pups George and Ridgy by Scotexcited have gone to Supreme Kennels to learn the game. They have already been on the straight chasing the drag and both went very well.
Skippy is back home and is in season. She has been placed in the kennel with Maggie and both enjoy each others company. She was quickly back in to the routine of dragging her blankets out and taking her feed bowl on to her bed!!!!

Skippys Last race.
Made a big decision after her last run to retire Skippy ( Feral Duchess) from racing. She has been running consistently well in C1 class but felt it time to call it a day with several non placement runs. Its been great fun watching her run and cannot complain at her strike rate for places. She always gave her best but sadly like her owner was a bit one paced!!
She will come home to the Kennels in Kaniere and enjoy retirement on the West Coast.
