Zig Zag Kennels, run by Charles Thomas Pickering and his wife Barbara Alix Pickering, make a small profit of £30 per dog whereas other breeders in the area sell "purposely bred" beagles for as much as £200, leaving little room to wonder why labs choose them.
Others involved in the scandal include Richard Fielding, one of the trainers attached to Manchester's Bell Vue Stadium.
"[I WANT TO KEEP THE BUSINESS] NICE AND CONFIDENTIAL [BECAUSE IT IS] EXTREMELY SENSITIVE" - Pickering to an undercover reporter, commenting on his dirty dealings.

I've an eccentric Aussie uncle who buys British greyhounds that are about to be killed and ships them to live at his farm. Each year he gives away thousands of calendars of his favourite twelve greyhounds that year. He has employees to look after the dogs, so the animals are well cared for, but he has tried to ship so many animals it has drained his fortune and left the farm so run-down that everywhere is covered in greyhound shit. It seems an extraordinarily waste of cash to me but it is his cash. I suggested he focus on stopping the breeders but I think his motivation comes from seeing the dogs he saved everyday. One day there will be wild greyhound overtaking kangeroos in the outback...
