"bale" refers to the Dam of the greyhound, Monalee Bale.

Monalee Bale is the Dam of (amongst others)
Ashom Bale
Stynes Bale
Pariel Bale
Titania Bale
Michelin Bale


It is similar to the stud dog New Tears. He is the Sire of...
Proper Tears
etc etc.

Greyhound owners tend to use the Sire or Dam of their dog in the racing name, even more often than the owners of Gallopers.

BALE is the name used by Paul Wheeler(Australia's biggest greyhound owner) when naming his greyhounds - he has been using it for many years now and as a result there are a lot of "Bale" greyhound going around.Due to the breeding of a lot of "Bale" dogs over the years, owners other than Wheeler us the name.

For interest sake, PW has "Bale" greyhounds racing in NSW,VIC,QLD,SA and TAS
