:angry: Then dumped in a rescue like most greyhounds untill people like poppys owner rescue them. :thumbsup: And shows lurcher people have got some bloody good lurchers too :thumbsup:3bitches and 1dog in that litter and they all have raced on the track :thumbsup: I take it Poppy was K****m***e Ann and she was unplaced in 5 races on the track plus 3 trials all at Lifford :thumbsup:Im Poppys owner, the dog that was reserve at Sandringham-for information she IS a RESCUE and NOT an EX-RACER-she has never raced at a track (confrimed via the Irish Coursing Club)-she was tried in the traps and was no good-her sire was Distant Fields a champion coursing greyhound and her dam Madam Rollin a track dog. She was sent to a resuce centre in Ireland by her trainer/owner Gerry McGuire and then onto the Dogs Trust in Harefield,where we rehomed her from.Hope that clarifies the situation.:teehee: a Lurcher came 1st at sanderingham finals a bloody good dog .As for the dog that came 2nd THE RESCUE was a GREYHOUND an exracer not a RESCUE just retired as i know this dog and she is only 3yrs old.So fairplay to the lurcher that beat it.:thumbsup: Bert :thumbsup:
