Romeo (Hawfield Romeo)

born 14th August 2021

“Romeo has been in foster for a couple of weeks, and his foster family describe him as “such a lovely lad” who is confident, happy and walks beautifully on his lead. He mostly walks to heel and doesn’t pull. Romeo settles well at night and sleeps through until just before 7am. He is a very friendly boy who loves attention and fuss and is excited to meet people who come to visit.

He is living happily with 2 other male hounds and has seen other breeds out and about. Having never seen other breeds before, Romeo has reacted amazingly well and has shown nothing more than a bit of general interest. Romeo has been left for a couple of hours without issue and is generally clean in the house. He does have the occasional accident during the night but it’s still very early days and he will soon pick up the routine. Romeo is great around food and does not have any guarding issues. He has recently started playing with toys and has spent time with older visiting children. He’s a clever boy who listens to what you tell him and who has quickly settled into his new home.

Romeo is a fabulous boy who has made huge progress in a few short weeks. He will be a wonderful addition to someone’s life.”

A mercifully brief career. Romeo saw a bit of Ireland for a couple of months and then headed across the sea to Doncaster. Nine months start to finish, Romeo troubled the judge on only two occasions.  Romeo was 33kgs of rippling muscle, dad being Droopys Sydney. Neither of which prevented having his *** handed to him by a slip of a girl 18 month ago. Our very own Maggie (Redbrick Bounty) thrashed him 6 1/2 lengths and he has only just recovered from the embarrassment. Been comfort eating ever since as he now tips the scales at 38 kgs.

Romeo needs love, a lot of it together with a big sofa. The big oaf is rather needy and we are looking for a special home. A retired person prepared to hold his paw and tell him it’s the taking part that counts would be preferable.

There is an outstanding dog in this crushed soul somewhere. Needs a quiet steady home to bring it out.
