Monmore Puppy Derby

The Monmore Puppy Derby also known as the Premier Greyhound Racing Puppy Derby for sponsorship purposes, is a greyhound competition held at Monmore Green Stadium. It was inaugurated in 1943 and is also known as the Midland Puppy Championship, the Midland Puppy Derby and the Ladbrokes Puppy Derby.

In 1963, the event switched to Willenhall Greyhound Stadium, following the fire that destroyed the main stand and restaurant at Monmore.

In 2022, the event was sponsored by Premier Greyhound Racing and £20,000 was awarded to the winner, which was double the amount that the traditional and long running competition The Puppy Derby offered.
