Racing Greyhound pups in a barrow

A wheelbarrow filled with racing greyhound pups at the G.R.A. Staffordshire breeding ground, prior to transfer to the kennels at Northaw, Middlesex. At Northaw, the process of training for dog racing at White City begins, including wearing a collar, learning to lead, breaking from the trap until the polished racing greyhound is ready to flash round the White City Racecourse at nearly 40 m.p.h

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a group of adorable Racing Greyhound pups huddle together in a wheelbarrow at the G.R.A. (Greyhound Racing Association) Staffordshire breeding ground. The image, captured in 1939, offers a rare glimpse into the early stages of the greyhound racing industry, before these pups embark on their journey to become polished racers at White City Racecourse. The Staffordshire breeding ground, located in the English countryside, was the birthplace of countless greyhounds destined for the racetrack. This photograph captures the pups just before their transfer to the kennels at Northaw, Middlesex, where the rigorous training process began. The pups, not yet fully grown, are nestled comfortably in the wheelbarrow, their tiny bodies curled up against one another for warmth and security. Their ears are perked, and their eyes are bright with curiosity, as they take in the world around them. The wheelbarrow, a common tool used for transporting goods, serves as a makeshift carriage for these young greyhounds, symbolizing the transformation they will undergo as they prepare for their roles as racing dogs. At Northaw, the pups would learn essential skills such as wearing a collar, leading, and breaking from the trap. They would be trained rigorously, both physically and mentally, to reach their top racing speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the history of greyhound racing and the dedication of the trainers who nurtured these animals into racing champions. This photograph, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective into the past of greyhound racing, showcasing the tender beginning of a greyhound's journey from the breeding ground to the racetrack.
