Gary Sallis first became seriously involved with greyhounds when working as a kennel hand to Geroge Curtis in 1977. A job as Head Lad followed with Gordon Hudson before Gary took out his own license in 2000. Initially unattached, he had a spell at Reading before moving to his current track Sittingbourne in 2003.

Gary has quickly established himself as one of the leading trainers at the Kent track with a near 25% strike-rate in graded races and 2005 saw Gary send out some 70 Open winners.

Always willing to travel with his better dogs who have a realistic chance of winning, Gary has already won the £3,000 Countrywide Steel & Tubes Vase at Crayford with Droopys Regina and Sunshine Sophie broke the track record when winning the Spring Trophy at the same track. The kennel have been represented in several Finals including the Springbok, Reading Masters, Brighton Belle, the Kent Derby, the Arc, the Northern Oaks (twice), the Midland Oaks and the Golden Sprint (twice).

With one main kennel block Gary and his wife Carolyn prefer to train a smaller number of greyhounds so each one can be given all the attention they need. Gary enjoys bringing on the younger dogs and doesn't believe in rushing the greyhounds in his care.

Carolyn has been involved in greyhound racing for some 30 years and carries out all the physio treatment on the injured greyhounds at the kennel and has all the latest equipment to hand.

Gary has a kennel strength of 32 and his facilities include 8 paddocks and a 200 yard gallop and the kennels are located near picturesque woods, ideal for walking your dogs. Gary always has greyhounds available for sale at realistic prices. Click here for Classifieds and the latest dogs for sale from Fallowfield Kennels.
