Magical stories of adventure, bravery, heroes & villains for children and adults. The children’s books cover a range of ages, and all have a greyhound in there somewhere! The family books tell the true story of our rescued greyhounds, Sally & Sam. They highlight the importance of fostering and, of course, tell the story of Penny. Read more about the author here.

Our Blog Pages

Our Blog pages are divided into sections. One section features Foodie Posts of recipes, food notes, and similar content. Another section showcases the Children’s Stories. Additionally, there is Tales of Crafty Dog Gardens. This includes stories, anecdotes, and photos of the staff who live and work on our (fictional) country estate here in Swanseashire.

Gwennie, Managing Director of Crafty Dog Cymru

Penny, our original Crafty Dog, left us for the rainbow bridge in 2020. We searched for ages to find someone to fill the gap left by her enormous paws. After extensive interviewing, in February 2023 we found this little noodle, Gwennie. She became our Managing Director in October 2023. If you’d like to meet Gwennie click here!

Read Penny’s book and see how she went from abandoned ex-racer to manager of Crafty Dog Cymru.
