OWNERSHIP
​
The thrill of owning your own greyhound is a unique experience which offers excitement and a fun night, be it at our home track -Hove stadium where we run our graded strength from Tuesday- Saturday or on our Open racing team. Greyhound Racing is a great hobby to be involved in and we encourage a great social environment in our kennel, providing various events throughout the year for owners to come together and enjoy the kennels successes.
Our open race greyhounds regularly travel around the country whether it be for one off races or Category 1 competitions, we have had success winning the Grand National at Wimbledon in 2011 and in 2020 sent Southwood Jet to the English Derby final at Nottingham.
For further information buying a greyhound contact Richard Rees where he will be happy to discuss your requirements or arrange a visit to our kennel.

GREYHOUND REHOMING
​
We're proactive in the promotion of greyhound welfare and it is our number one priority. We work closely with the Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare, to ensure our greyhounds have a happy transition from the kennels to a life on the sofa once they have finished racing. In the case where our owners are unable to take there greyhounds home after racing they are rehomed through these rehoming kennels.
We always have a selection of retired greyhounds at our kennel waiting for there forever homes, so please contact us and we will let you know if you have a hound to suit you.

CORPORATE
OPPORUNITIESN
A greyhound could even help market your business and act as a truly original and rewarding way of entertaining your clients. Not only can they come greyhound racing and experience the corporate entertainment but they can watch your very own greyhound run! Syndicates where you share the costs and also have a ready-made sociable fan base for your greyhound are increasingly popular and we can help to organise all aspects of corporate syndicates.
