Sad News for the Kennel

We are absolutely gutted and devastated by the news the Sam had to be put to sleep because of an shattered hock in 3 places which occurred during a race last week in which he got knocked over. Sam was the most placid dog in the Kennel and it is still hard walking in to the kennel and seeing the empty space. He was a handsome beast who just took everything in to his stride. He was in fact going to be our house dog in a couple of months because of his caring nature. Sam raced 29 times winning 5 times and this was an achievement because at one stage i did not think he would even make the track because of a stopper pad injury.
