Puckane Joe is a blue brindle racing greyhound dog with four matching white socks and bib. He is probably one of the most elegant dogs in racing if not prolific winners. "A dog is not just for Christmas he's also for racing" ejaculated preceptively Mr M. Meers one of Puckie Joe's shrewd owners.

Puckie J. was born or rather whelped on the 7th October 2012.

Taking up residence in the kennels of his unattached trainer Dave Allen, Puckie was registered and chipped ready for his first trial at Romford Dog Track on the 4th November 2014. At that time a hound was required to complete three trials before entering an open maiden, which connotes there were a further two trails that took place at Henlow Dog Track on the.......
