| Beautiful Amy . |
Now, the girls have retired due to age (they are both 4 years old) - and Amy has just arrived to GAP (her friend "Jackpot Jackie" will follow shortly).
I just heard from Michael Cox, Amy's (and Jackie's) owner who is thrilled with their progress , and all the work they have done for Canteen. Michael just wrote to me:
That is wonderful news that Amy has progressed well through the GAP program, I hope she becomes a great pet for someone. I am sure Jackie will do very well also, she was very sweet when I had her as a puppy.
I regularly get approached by various charities for a small contribution so I thought I would try and combine charity with my passion for greyhounds. I had a couple of young greyhounds at home in Sydney at the time who I thought would make handy chasers, two black bitches called Amy and Jackie. What appealed about Canteen other than being a very deserving group was that they wanted like to get trackside and support the dogs too. I had the pleasure of meeting a number of the young people involved at Addington raceway one evening and having a chat and few pic's with Amy and Jackie. The bitches both had good careers under the care of Rangiora greyhound trainer Gary Cleeve and his family; it was very heartwarming seeing them win a tidy sum of money for Canteen. I would also like to thank Ashley Bradshaw (who worked with and took care of Amy and Jackie) for her efforts with the dogs. :)
