Can anyone shed any light why this dog is standing at stud in Millom to breed lurchers? I've tried finding out on Newcastle greyhounds twitter page, but as expected, I've been totally ignored. Anyway, any info will be greatly appreciated. Frankly, I believe this dog has been discarded to anyone who wanted it, without a seconds thought for its welfare. Here's a link to my page where anyone interested can read the post. EXTERNAL LINK

So after over two months of waiting for Jackson, Newcastle, Arc or gbgb to do something about this dog, i finally heard something this week. It was from the previous owner of the dog and a rehoming centre. They`ve tried to locate the dog but unfortunately, it looks like he`s changed hands more than once and now the trail has gone cold. As far as i know, the previous owner sold the dog to Jackson, but Jackson didn`t bother to change the ownership. Jackson also thinks he`s done right by the dog, even though everyone who I've spoken to can see, he`s done nothing to make sure the dog was in a good home and well cared for. This two bob trainer should of started with the fundamentals. i.e, getting him neutered, to stop this sort of thing from happening. Instead, like i`ve said previously, he couldn`t get the dog out of his kennel quick enough and the dog was discarded to any tom dick or harry that wanted it. I find it mind blowing that the governing body of this sport has chose to keep out of it, and Jackson is still in charge of greyhounds. At the very least, he should be suspended, until the dog is found and an investigation is carried out as to why, he didnt follow guidlines. He`s blocked me on twitter otherwise i`d of posted this onto his page.
EXTERNAL LINK feel free to ask him questions directly.

I feel this is a kick in the teeth for welfare in licensed greyhound racing in the UK. Basically this scumbag from the northeast has got away with a pathetic caution, for having zero concern for what he did. In fact he denied any wrong doing, which at the very least this inquiry has proved was a bare faced lie. This two bob trainer should get, minimum, a 1000 fine and a 3 month ban for discarding Popper Hallie the way he did. To this day the dogs never been located.
This is from this months gbgb calender. And in my opinion takes the piss out of the integrity of this sport.
