Comments on: Kennel Hand Breaks Silence on What’s Happening to Dogs http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/2635/kennel-hand-breaks-silence-on-whats-happening-to-dogs/ the lifestyle magazine for dog lovers Sat, 11 Jun 2011 15:23:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Susan http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/2635/kennel-hand-breaks-silence-on-whats-happening-to-dogs/#comment-74661 Susan Sat, 12 Dec 2009 23:45:48 +0000 http://www.dogmagazine.net/?p=2635#comment-74661 putting the subject to bed I'm sure would please a lot of people down at Poole. Fact of the matter is, we seem to have a pattern forming here. If you look back a year ago and the year before that Blanchard had a few wins after reports of cruelty were made, Then she started to lose dogs on the track etc etc. Same again this year a few wins and now starting to lose dogs. Another new dog has appeared from Ireland I see this week as an A2 dog. It will be interesting to follow this poor dogs career with Blanchard. We will see. I hope I'm proved wrong, but I can see it all being exposed again, about may time I would imagine. putting the subject to bed I’m sure would please a lot of people down at Poole.

As for threatening me with court action, you are taking things a little too far and are way out of your depth which is why I wish you well and will have no further comment to make on this subject .

Firstly we as a family have no contact with anti's as you call them or anything else to do with greyhounds. We have a much nicer life with our animals that are loved and cared for. Also I was e mailed to say that my messaage had been replyed to. maybe you don't have that notification. You say you don't have time to investigate other trainers kennels, well how the hell can you comment on them then??? It really makes me laugh that all the people sticking up for Eve, are the people that have never seen her kennels! As for a witch hunt, I feel most offended by this comment. Eve Blanchard is far to evil to be accepted as a witch! the one and only rule in the wiccan world is, " Harm none, do what thou will" Hardly something that Eve Blanchard could put her name to, respect for all living things! I don't think so. I am sure your newly retired dog is very happy with you, he has been with a good trainer and well looked after, as he will be with you now for the rest of his life.I hope you get many years of happiness from him. If you are referring to Trudy as an anti, I can assure you she is not, she just wants better welfare for Greyhounds, who can blame her for that. I have the greatest of respect for Trudy and wish her well with her campaign, but I am not involved with it as I simply don't have the time. Be very careful Di before you accuse people of doing things they have not done or said, or you may find yourself in court just like Eve Blanchard!

My work and my retired greyhounds take the majority of my time up which means I have very little time to investigate other trainers kennels . However I haven't seen a 'manky' dog in any of the races recently and Eve has had quite a few winners lately and we always say that only happy dogs win races, so I can only assume that Eve has upped her game. I will leave it to you and your new found anti friends to continue your witch hunt. I have retired one of my dogs and he has just come home to me and he is absolutely gleaming, his tail wags, a little apprehensive of his new surroundings which is to be expected but no signs of distress whatsoever from having had 140 races !!!!!

Why on earth would Blanchard be truthful when all along she has managed to hoodwink everyone with her lies! Having said that, it is your sport you are allowing to be brought down by making people like her welcome at race nights at Poole! But then I suppose in your eyes and others she is in a minority, so it is ok! I just thank God that we as a family are no longer involved in such a sport, or indeed the type of people that willingly allow or even welcome the minority to treat precious animals as they do. Again I say to you Di, go to Blanchards kennels yourself and see if you can find happy, clean dogs! But maybe I would be proved right. I don't think that is harsh, just reality that you choose to close your eyes to!

My question was " how do you know ? "... Someone else has been spouting off that they have been to Eves kennels and apparantly Eve was asked about it and she said that no one had been there ????? I am very pleased to hear about Caloona Jack . Susan

You seem to be able to comment with some authority that things are now ok, so you tell me. On the other hand I KNOW that all is not well at Blanchards kennels. Of course I have not been myself, not sure she would welcome me with open arms, but I do know someone who has.Obviously the general public are keeping a more careful eye on her than the gbgb! One thing I do know is that Caloona Jack has been rescued from that hell hole & is now at Hersham Hounds. May he have a long and happy life, bless him. for the record he is the one they are calling Jake. Wonder what has happened to the old retired dogs? guess we will never know. Probably still shut in the kennel bloke that is out of commision!!?? That is empty. Funny that lots of barking still coming from those wet damp kennels. Maybe just ghosts!!!!! Out of sight out of mind as far as the gbgb is concerned. I am not holding my breath about anything happening to help these dogs or indeed to stop this evil woman racing, but I do believe in Karma and Karma can be a real Bitch!!!
