Name :- Mike and Rachel Gould
Current Dogs :- Galtee Petal, Scratch Card (1/2 with Brittons family) and Maireads Hawk (one in all in syndicate)
Favourite Dog :- Could not choose between them, they are all different and i love them all the same !
Occupation :- I am a sales rep selling weighing equipment and touch screen cash registers and Rachel is a head teacher.
Best success :- Express Shuttle winning the ''Hall Green Blue Riband'' (still only a puppy too!) After being runner up in the Monmore puppy Derby the month before it made this win so special.
How long have you had dogs with Chris :- Only since March 2010. These are our first ever dogs.
Is there any particular reason Chris trains your dogs :- I was recommended by a good friend (Chris Cooper) who also has dogs with Chris. After seeing Chris progressing to the Trainers Championship and then visiting the kennels I was not going to look anywhere else!
Best dog ever owned :- Well, now I can write Express Shuttle as he has already achieved so much in a very short space of time. Maybe soon I can add Maireads Hawk to this list as well?!?!?
Favourite dog kenneled with Chris that you don't own & why :- Ballymac Ace, he is an absolute star, lovely attitude and so consistent. What a dog for the team to have in the kennels!
Dog to follow and why ? Maireads Hawk, he is only young and very well bred. Already in a short space of time won the Hove Puppy Trophy and reached the Notts Caffreys Puppy Classic final. We are all sure that he has loads more to come in the new year.
Betting highlight :- Most memorable is the first bet I had on Stop and Pop on her first run for me only 3 days after buying her, she won nicely at 5/2. I couldn't believe my luck.
Something the regulars won't know about you :- I love going to gigs and I can play Guitar.
Are you a regular at kennels ? I have loads of photos of my dogs as they are a massive part of our lives now! We are always at the Kennels every Sunday, my daughter who is 5 absolutely loves it!
