Coventry dog tracks

I know that there was at one time a dog track on Lythall's Lane and there still is one at Brandon. Was there ever one at The Butts or nearby?

Any help appreciated.

Not that I know of. There was a plan to build one there a few years ago. Local residents were asked by the planning dept if we had any objection to having 500 barking dogs kenneled nearby. You can guess our reply to that one.
