Fabulous news for Firmagers as Mila is announced as Best Dam

FABULOUS MILA has been announced as the Best Dam of British Bred for 2025 with owners David and Nicola Firmager set to receive the award at the upcoming GBGB gala in early March.

Their brood produced dual Category One winner Romeo Alliance, who landed the Juvenile Classic at Towcester and the Nottingham Puppy Classic on his way to a nomination for Newcomer of the Year.

Litter-brother Romeo Ability was a multiple Category One finalist, setting a new track record at Nottingham over 480m before Droopys Aladdin bettered the mark.

Fabulous Mila herself was an open race winner over 480m at Nottingham, 575m and 750m at Romford as well as the 714m distance at Crayford.  

Mark Bird, CEO of the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, said: “Many congratulations to David Firmager on this Award – he has been a true champion of British breeding over the years and it is fantastic to see his continued success.

"British breeding hasn’t always been incentivised in the same way here so it is thanks to people like David and his team that this tradition is continuing and indeed, judging by the outstanding calibre of Fabulous Mila’s litters, is flourishing.

“Ensuring high standards in British breeding is a key aspect of our welfare strategy, allowing greater oversight of greyhound welfare throughout the early stages of their lives.

"We are excited to soon be launching a new British bred registration system, which we hope will make the process of registering British-bred litters easier for breeders and lead to more of our racers being bred in Britain.”
