Brother Fox
During the early to mid-80's was one of the most exciting periods of greyhound racing in Australia. It produced many champions without doubt the greyhound the thrilled the crowds the most was Brother Fox.
In a short spectacular career he displayed ability and pace not seen before on greyhound tracks around the country. Purchased by Dubbo trainer Steve Kavanagh for $500 as a pup he proved a bargin basement buy, not only as a race dog but as one of Australia's leading stud dogs in the late 80's early 90's. "The Fox" had a turn of speed that left most opposition trialing in his wake and more importantly he was able to pass on rare ability to many sons and daughters.
