| Hello, I am Hannah (All The Milk) |
Yesterday I went to visit our Nightrave racing girls, who are currently in the 'racing school' in Waikato. It was a very exciting experience - we have been planning to add racing dogs to our pack for a while now - and finally, it is happening!
 |
| And I am Stella (All The Coco) ! |
Hannah (fawn) and Stella (black and white) are 14 months old litter sisters, who travelled all the way from Rangiora after they got accepted into the racing school run by the lovely Mike Lozell.We have already chosen their racing names too - Hannah's racing name is
'All The Milk' and Stella's is
'All The Coco' :)
 |
| Mike and Stella (who looks brown LOL :) Both girls still have thick fluffy southern puppy coats :) |
 |
| Mike was a great sport helping me get some pictures |
 |
| Hannah looks like a dingo -complete with EARS! |
 |
| Yup -dingo! |
I took loads of pictures, however most turned out blurry - greyhound puppies are very energetic! I am always amazed how different young greyhounds are compared to a seasoned racing dog or a retired racer - they are like energizer bunnies, never standing still!
Stella and Hannah love their training - they have already been chasing the lure in the paddocks and loving it. Nothing as happy as young dogs with jobs :)
 |
| Most of my photos turned out like this!! |
 |
| and this! :) |
 |
| Girls have been amusing themselves by digging holes :) |
Hannah's and Stella's Mum is gorgeous Felicity (
Know Desire), an accomplished racing dog (98 starts for 16 wins and 31 placings). Girls' Grandma is famous Love Of History. Here are some pictures of Felicity:
