Gracie proved to be one of the best racing dogs of recent years, winning 23 Supreme finals, exceeding her illustrious sire Striker who won 21. At 30 pounds she often had to give the smaller dogs of 18-20 lbs a start of at least 10 yards and still managed to beat them to the finish line. She is the youngest dog ever to reach champion status, becoming a Sup. Fed Ch at only 1 year and 2 weeks old and a WCRA Ch at just under 14 mths old. She has achieved every top honour there is in the U.K for a dog to reach. As her dam's blood line is mainly all show, it has been quite an achievement. She is owned by Len and June MacDonald from Oxford, and they are also the breeders of Striker. Gracie is now retiring from her racing career at 7 years old as her owners feel she has proven enough and we are all looking forward to the careers of her offspring. Her first litter to Fed.Ch Powerful Paddy are now 3 and, one bitch is already a Ch and one dog is getting there. The others are all Open and Ch. Finalists and her more recent litter is only 8 mths old. We are so proud of having bred such an outstanding racing dog. She is a once in a life time dog and, ' simply the best '.
