Power's genealogy and Polly's pedigree.

I had a great experience this week! 


I learned from Sue (of Graceful Greyhounds, in Norfolk England), the genealogy of Power.  Her greyhound, Polly, is like a double of Power.She and I emailed and she looked on the official greyhound pedigree site for Power's pedigree.  She discovered that Polly's  father Brett Lee( from Australia) is Power's grandfather.  I thought that that was a fascinating occurrence since they are from the other side of the planet!

Pedigree of Wild Power House.
This first chart is from the Racing Greyhound Database.  It shows Wild Power House on the left side( my Power).  His father is Trent Lee( from USA), and his grandfather is Brett Lee ( from Australia).

 Stanton Polly is the greyhound of Sue ( from Graceful Greyhounds), and her picture (above) shows her to be a real beauty (black with white chest and feet and tail tip). In her pedigree, shown below, it shows that Brett Lee (Australia) is the father of Stanton Polly.

Stanton Polly's pedigree


Polly  was born 1 Mar 2007 in Ireland or United Kingdom.  Power was born 9 Apr 2011 in USA.

Polly ran 114 races, won 16, was 2nd 25 times.  Power ran one race, got injured in that race and was retired.

I never gave a thought to the pedigree or racing record of my greyhounds in the past.  If Power hadn't been so injured, I would not have cared about his race record.
If I had not started a blog in hopes of connecting with other greyhound people, I would not have known about Polly and her mom, Sue. 
So many ifs in this story, so many possibilities, and such nice outcomes.  Life is wonderful!

    I think it's amazing that Polly and Power look exactly alike. It looks like Polly had quite a racing career. I'll bet Power would have been a great racer if he hadn't been hurt.

      He could have been a great racer, but for me he raced into my heart!

    Hazel, Fab post. I do know that Brett Lee sired a lot of dogs. It is so cool that Polly and power are related and as you said in one of your emails, as their mum's that makes us related:) LOL

    Lori, Thanks you:)

    I think it is so cool that we can find out our dog's family history. My Jack and Scout were cousins and somewhere down the line, Jack and Joey are related. It is way down the line though.

      I think the similarity between the connections that you have in your dogs and I and Sue have in our dogs is a happy occurence. I really would like to meet and know Scout and Joey ( and you as well.)!

    Power and Bunny are cousins, too! Bunny is a great granddaughter of Wigwam Wag. Her racing name is Bank on Benefit. :) It's a small world! Patty E.'s Joey is Bunny's half brother, too!

    I am a bit behind with blog reading (as usual!) but thought you might be interested to know that my Beryl is a half sister to Polly. Brett Lee sure did get around, lol!
