Im so Excited!!!!

[bertiesmum]

I emailed sittingbourne greyhounds as that was where bertie last raced, to ask if they had any pictures/videos or race cards that were berties and they have his whole race book and are going to send it to me :-) and the man is also going to look for pictures of bertie and anything else and said that if he finds anything he will then send them!

im so excited?! has anyone else got there race book for the houndies?

Hi Cassie,

It is exciting when you find another piece of the jigsaw of Bertie's former life. And you will be so proud when you see a record on paper and and the thrill you will experience when you see him in action on video.

On contacts and links I found a list of Fizz's 79 races and some of her winning are including on video). I've got vision only on my computer at the moment but I watch with pride when I see her winning.

Life is never dull with a greyhound.

Aw bless, that is lovely I'm so pleased you managed to find out a little bit about Bertie's past. Mousha's trainer sent me and mum some pictures of Mousha as a puppy. I will see if I can add one, as she was just soooo cute (she's still cute now of course) ;-)

Hope you manage to find out some more about Bertie's history :-)

[bertiesmum]

Thanks, I just hope he sends them first class so they don't take long to arrive!!
How beautiful is mousha? Wish I had pics of bertie whhen he was a puppy :-) his trainer didn't sound to happy when I rung him once to find out about bertie but his trainer is based at sottingbourne so I hope his trainer finds some stuff :-)
I do love looking at there history, I find it so interesting :-)

What a lovely photo, she still is a beautiful girl now.

I have got all Franks races on DVD, if anyones dog raced at Harlow a few years ago I have the address of the woman who has the old races on dvd.

[bertiesmum]

How long's Franks DVD Alison
I'm hoping to get some footage of Betty racing - although looking at her at the moment it's hard to believe she was ever a racer!!!
Hope you get your picture soon Cassie

hi jennyr,

cant believe no-one else has looked at the great pic of Mousha and said "Simples!" its a meerkat not a greyhound surely?? i would love to see a pic of one of our two as a puppy.

Ahh your soo lucky to be able to find out the history of Bertie.Baby never raced so cant find out her family lines,then she was in a kennel fire and we arent sure which kennels she was at when it happened.thought it might be the zigzag kennels,did email the breeder there but never got a reply :'(good luck with Berties racing stuff,hope it arrives soon

[bertiesmum]

Thanks, have you thought of ringing the kennels? That's such a shame about baby!! I didn't know :-( bless her :-)
I am excited!!! There are3-4 videos of bert racing on greyhound data but there's none where he wins :-( onl two thirds and two last place. I attempted to ask berts trainer for some pictures of him by found him very hard to talk to ( he was quite rude to be honest) so I thought an email to the last track he raced at as they would have owned the race card/video footage/pictures :-)
is anyone else going to try to find outthere houndies histories?? :-)

Hi rushy,

I had never looked at it that way before, as I just think she looks like a seal!! But I totally see what you mean :-) I feel very lucky to have been given some photos of Mousha as a puppy. From what I remember, it happened because Mousha's trainer was at the kennels when we were there once and we got talking and she said she would send us some photos. Here is another one.

Cassie, I hope you get some photos of Bertie too. If so, I look forward to seeing them on here :-)
