Percy is Perdy's son and has inherited her super affectionate temperament. He is a very playful chap with a passion for anything wet, be that the sea or a muddy puddle!

Woodie has joined our team after early retirement from racing. He is a typical Greyhound and can normally be found sleeping whilst the rest of the team are hard at work.
