Dexter in his new home!

Its great to see Dexter (Feral Steadfast) is settling in to his new home.

He went to his new home on Sunday and seems to be really enjoying retirement !

Three years ago !

Lizzie and her pups. Sadly Lizzie died of cancer last year .

New Home for Dexter

Pleased to tell that Dexter (Feral Steadfast) goes to his new home tomorrow. He has been in a foster home for a couple of weeks and has really taken well to retirement. Good Luck Dexter !

We have been on the West Coast for 2 weeks following the thoroughbreds at the 4 meetings held on the Coast. We have had house/kennel sitters who have done a great job with the dogs. Having only one runner now with Darth (Feral Kaiaka) he has started galloping again after having a minor foot injury. Hopefully will be back racing soon.

Kennel News

Have now retired 3 of the Oaks Road X Collision Risk litter and we will be looking to rehome them in the near future. 
On the racing front Feral Kaiaka has now moved up to C3 grade and has finished 5th and 4th in this grade.

Kennnel news and a Race !

Darth (Feral Kaiaka) finished 3rd in his second C2 race which was pleasing to see. Going wide on the bend costs him in all of his races but at least he generally gets a trouble free run!

Other Kennel news is that we have decided to retire both Daisy (Feral Whanau) and Dexter (Feral Steadfast) just on the fact that they were not quick enough win C1 so was a pointless exercise and their welfare is something we are high on. They will be going to Nightrave a great rehoming group who hopefully will find a loving home for these guys. If not they will stay here to be pampered!

Dove (Feral Dove Love) picked up a stomach virus and needed to go to the vets to be kept overnight on the drip. When the nursing staff went in the next morning she had ripped the drip out of her leg and shreaded her bedding ! She is now making a good recovery but has lost 2kg weight!

Darth (Feral Kaiaka) gets finally himself out of the C1 Grade!

Darth runs out of Box 5 in the Yellow rug.

Not so good with Dexter (Feral Steadfast) who found trouble and finished 7th. Might be time to call it a day (retirement) with this boy.

Kennel News

Had another 2nd with Darth (Feral Kaiaka) again ran a bit wide off the bend which cost him the race. Checked over and no apparent soreness. Daisy (Feral Whanau) was put over the 520 metres at Addington. Got in to 3rd position at the 1st bend but was kept wide and then faded in the last 50 metres, answered the question so back to sprinting with her. The other two runners are well and fit and just waiting for a race.

At the moment we are boarding a dog for Nightrave rehoming group and organisation that re-homes plenty of greyhounds here in NZ.
