Rusty

We would bet the ranch this is Fern’s brother. Rusty is a stray that has come from the same place. The reunion was like something out of Long-Lost Family. Rusty is about 18 months old and will paying a visit to the vet shortly. We haven’t told him.

Meanwhile let’s enjoy the dance. Tissues are advised.

Fern

Fern arrived about a month ago now and has settled in well to the routine. Her tranquillity was shattered when her brother Rusty was ushered into her boudoir with the understanding that she had to share a bed again.

Fern like Rusty was found straying in this area, without a microchip or a bindle to her name. Tia reckons that she is about 18 months old, full of life and brainless to boot. The greys look upon her in disgust. Youth of today!

Quite beautiful but probably needs someone who understands a young lurcher and help her develop into a useful member of society.

No cats!

Marley (Read The Rules)

born June 2019

Like so many, a plain black dog looking for a soft place to fall.

Veteran of 111 races and winner of twenty of them. Poor Marley got caught up in a very rough race back in March and ended his career by showing his displeasure! He had won in some style only the fortnight before. Time he hung up his muzzle anyway.

“Marley is a lovely boy who we had the pleasure of taking to a local park today.

He travelled well in the car – jumped straight in and laid down for the journey. It was all new when we arrived, and Marley was excited when he saw other dogs to begin and did bark with excitement on a few occasions (what dog wouldn’t), but never pulled on his lead, despite other dogs being off theirs. We saw a horse, which he stood aside for and watched pass by at a distance.

By the end of our walk, Marley wasn’t really interested in what else was going on in the park, and even laid down when we stopped for a rest/photos!  He loved a treat!

Jumped straight back in the car and laid down for the journey home.”

Marley is with us in in Scotland and is becoming a firm favourite with us all.

Maggie (Redbrick Bounty)

born October 2021

Another little poppet who got fed up with this ridiculous game. Five wins though until the penny dropped. Maggie kept running into a wall of dogs bigger than her and eventually learned how to keep out of trouble. SAw (Slowly away) started to creep in to her form. Atta girl Maggie love. Spayed and ready to start a new chapter. The sooner the better frankly as far as she is concerned.
Maggie has joined us in Nairn recently. Her sister JoJo is still back in Doncaster, so convenient either way if you are looking for a lovely straightforward type of girl.

Sammy (Bandicoot Sammy)

born 18.8.2018

Sofa mate of superstar Warzone Tom (right) and idolised by his owner.  Open racer and no slouch either.  This is a sad case but heartening to see a trainer ensuring his dogs safety. We have known him for years and are honoured that he rang us. Had things been otherwise Sammy would be on his sofa until his last breath.

Superb home wanted, Sammy is a bit sad and misses his Dad.  It was a shock to be back in kennels, and nothing would give us greater pleasure to see him off down the drive.
His Dad misses him too.

Tommy (Warzone Tom)

born 31.07.2019

We have a celebrity in our midst. Believe me if it were not for a family situation, we would not be getting a sniff of this dog. A superb athlete. Two Group 1’s, including the Golden Collar, two track records and more Opens than a boy can count.

Thirty-four wins. Tommy and his mate Sammy (left) know more of racing than the rest of the barn dogs put together.

Owned by a member of a generation that wouldn’t let a dog out their sight, never mind ownership. This elderly man drove the 300 miles himself to ensure Tommy and Sammy’s safety. We have known him for decades and have no intention of failing his trust.

Ideally, we would like someone we know or a previous greyhound owner.
