Hello Audrey, sounds like Rocky has started to make a small improvement which you should see now daily. If he has trapped a nerve in his neck/back when you try to lift him it will make him cry with the pain, but in time that should improve also. Have you got a Magneto box you could put him...

Carol we had a similar problem so what we did was to put a thick piece of carpet just at the entrance of their bed so their feet are dryer when they get in the bed. Our kennels have a "walk-way" from the outside runs prior to their beds so we have room to put carpet on the floor infront the...

Audrey if it is a "trapped" nerve of something similar, time and rest could be the answer for recovery. Many years ago we had a dog that got a back injury when stopping for the lure and he was unable to stand on his back legs, he just dragged them around. With a long rest and plenty of t.l.c...

We missed the last bad weather as we only had a slight fall but afraid this time we have really been hit. Here in Kingswinford we have had approx. 8" and the roads/conditions have been and are terrible. I haven't been out today but from people I've spoken to have said there were...

Hiya looks like you poor souls are having it bad up the North. We have only had approx. 1" and the main roads and side road are mostly clear. Some side roads are icy to drive on but nothing major here in the Midlands. Took the dogs out as normal this morning for their usual walk. Hope we...

Hiya John, yes Michael & I were there too, there was quite a long debate regarding the breeding and yes a warning was given that the Scratch Dogs were getting too big. Like you we no longer race but from what I have read/seen most of the Scratch dogs today have more "Greyhound" blood in them...

We had approx. 3" to 4" here in Kingswinford, West Midlands, first thing this morning. However, the lovely sunshine we have enjoyed all day has thawed it all away. However, it has now clouded over and we are at this moment having a snow shower. Gary the pictures look very scenic and nice to...

Yes, here in the West Midlands, Dudley area, the scene is that of a Xmas Card with 3" snow. Looks very pictureque if nothing else. Lets hope it has not reached Old Hall which is approx. 50 miles north of us. All the best for the BWRA Puppy/Yearling Champs. today and hope the weather...

Hiya thank you everybody for your kind wishes. We have had a lovely day. :cheers:

IMO seeding should only be for the "genuine" left or right-hand runners. As regards bend racing I watch a lot of Greyhound racing and when the dogs are seeded W or M you will notice that (depending on how far the lure is in front of the dogs) wide runners are inclined to come in on the bends...

All the very best of luck to Charlie and hope he will make a swift recovery. Thinking of the family too at this worrying time. :huggles: Joan & Michael :thumbsup:

Fleesh sorry to read about your mum. Yes, I can tell you from past experience Tow Bars can help save you severe damage when being hit in the rear. It happened to me once I was stationary and a car ran into the back of my Estate car which had a Tow Bar fitted. Damage to my car was minimal but...

Fleece it is about time you learned to drive your mum's car. (w00t) So come on girl get those 'L' plates up!!!!!!! :p Joan

Regardless of whether the Bellwoods have had their memberships withdrawn indefinitely (life ban) the point is they have stolen monies from the Members - without their knowledge or permission - this in the eyes of the law if pure and simple - THEFT/DECEPTION. :rant: Some members may think the...

He was a great "speed merchant" - we have watched him whenever the Greyhound Racing was on Sky. Charlie Lister always seems to get the best out of his dogs. On a sad note though it would appear that the great Bitch he trained Farloe Verdict, who has retired and only 6 or 7 yrs. old died from a...

As an Ex-Racer IMO the NNWRF have handled this situation extremely well. What some members are failing to understand is that the Bellwoods have committed "a Criminal Act" by fruadulently/stealing monies from the Members. As Steve or Karen has already stated that if the Bellwoods had any...

As people know we are no longer racing but we do still have 7 whippets. Beckie - Saxon Honey - who is blind Jessie - Saxon Honeybee - these two are litter sisters and are 14 yrs old. Robbie - Saxon Duke Ben - Saxon Blue Tom - Saxon Prince Bonnie - Saxon Tiger Kelly - Saxon Gem these are...

Loshy, we have a bitch that is blind - she went blind nearly 2 years ago and she gets around the house and garden without any problem. She does bump into a few things at times but other than this blindness she is very healthy. She even, at times, tries to have a little run in the garden...

Mirrell we have always found that whatever the pups weigh at 12 weeks old - double that weight and add a couple of pounds and that is the final weight. If there is Greyhound blood in the breeding though it may not work so accurately. The last litter we bread (the mother being half-bred...

Thats is just where you are wrong Parker we DID have dogs to race, and yes they were still winning. In case you have forgotten we own R.Ch. Saxon Tiger and R.Ch. Saxon Gem. So we did not quit because we couldn't win. If you have raced as long as we have then all I can say is you too should...
