My very first greyhound Lady Blue Bear the busybody was given to me by  Bill and his wife Joan. These two wonderful people are still  in  "my kennel". Restoring my faith in greyhounds and human nature during some of my darkest days.  Everything I needed to know about how to rear and race greyhounds Joan originally wrote on a foolscap piece of paper for me and although I have learnt a bit more since those early days I always refer to their knowledge and not just about greyhounds either.

These these two greyhound immortals are still running a great kennel house with style.

 AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED NO MATTER WHICH WAY  BILL RETIRES HE IS STILL A LEGEND TO ME.

and we all know behind every legend is an even more legendary woman
