OUR PEOPLE THE GENERATIONS: MEET THE MAGUIRES FROM COUNTY WATERFORD

GRI

Meet the Maguires from Co. Waterford - Jimmy & Stephanie. A father and daughter with a shared love of greyhounds. 

The Maguire’s race under the prefix Daring and have been racing and breeding greyhounds for over 50 years from their home in Co. Waterford.

Breeding many a champion over the years, the most notable being Glen Miner in the 80’s, who made it into the Guinness book of records for being the fastest dog over a four-bend track! 

Daring Lance was another home bred and owned dog who won the Cesarewitch in Mullingar and held the track record in Waterford.

Jimmy is well known for his volunteer work at Waterford's Kilcohan Park Greyhound Stadium and has held the position of Chairman for the past ten years. 

Both himself and his daughter Stephanie along with family friend Peter Woods run the kennels. They keep the kennel small with a few racing dogs and brood bitches (where they welcome one or two litters each year).  They also have several race dogs that they have placed with a trainer.

As Stephanie says, “Greyhounds are in my blood, I grew up with them. We love what we do and will continue to race and breed hopefully another few champions in the future and have a few winners on the track along the way!”

The hundreds of years of tradition that forms our sport.
The generations of families brought together
by their love of the dogs.
We stand for all that is good about our sport
and we are its future.

Because
THIS RUNS DEEP
