Thinking of Roy’s family. Xxx

Absolutely heartbreaking to hear. Thoughts with Helen, Andy and poor Saddle. Such another gaining their angel wings. Run fast and free in circles heavenly boy, watching down on your brother and
pawrents. Xxx

I am heartbroken to read this sad news. I think everyone that remembers Roy and Saddle from the kennels would agree that they were a perfect double act, real characters and we were so happy for them when they found their forever home with Helen and Andy.
Run fast and free now fella, look down on your brother and keep him safe as he journeys onwards without you. Xxx
Sunday 17 Mar 12:54
I remember Roy at the kennels the two bothers Run free Roy xxxx

Who can forget this gorgeous pair of boys. I loved them but had my hands full at the time. Not even 10....far too young....its so unfair. Poor Saddle.....I do hope he will gradually adjust.....it will I am sure be very hard for him. Helen & Andy will be gutted. Sending our sadness and warmest wishes at this time of grief.

My gorgeous beloved boy - Roy, unfortunately passed to Rainbow Bridge this week...... I would have adopted Roy and his brother Saddle (who were absolutely partners in crime!) in a heartbeat if the time had of been right all those years ago. Run free fella - I will never forget you xxxx Hugs go to Andy and Helen and of course his brother Saddle x

Look at the handsome face
Saturday 23 Jun 18:18
Roy accompanied me at Melbicks this afternoon and was a total dream... Nothing fazed him at all... He took screaming kids, balloons, babies crying, banging of trollies and baskets, ALL sizes of dogs... Even being jumped on by a puppy when he was lying on the floor, he didn't react to anything.... He was a dream.... Not nervous or stressed at all... Such a good boy.... Well done Roy you made us all proud of you. Xx
Thursday 21 Jun 19:54
Roy and his brother Saddle have come such a long way since I first met them at the beginning of the year. They walked so nicely today and it would be great if they could find an experienced owner with whom they could share their life and love. They're intelligent boys who need to find their own sofa. Cuddles tonight xx
Thursday 21 Jun 09:59
A cuddle for Roy today as he did not seem his usual happy self yesterday when we did walks. Hope he is feeling more upbeat today!! Xx
Monday 18 Jun 13:50
Paws crossed. Given Saddle my cuddle to share with you. Axx
Saturday 16 Jun 16:52
Roy and Saddle looked good today. Nice and relaxed. Surley there must be somebody out there who is experienced enough to take on these boys.... Mary x
Friday 15 Jun 19:44
Roy, what a handsome chap you are xxxx
Monday 11 Jun 10:12
You can have my cuddle but you need to share with your brother. xx
Monday 07 May 20:24
A cuddle for Saddle & Roy, I so wish they could find their forever home (together of course) xxxxxxx
Friday 04 May 15:50
'My boys' - Roy and Saddle are so intelligent and I think this is why they get stressed at the kennels (especially Saddle) as they love the mental stimulation. I have now trained them to recall in the sand run and next week we have several trips to the park planned for our next step of training. I love them so much.....
Thursday 03 May 20:18
Took Roy and Saddle out for their afternoon constitutional and they walked very nicely. They are super boys xx
Tuesday 01 May 23:25
I took Roy and Saddle out to Elmdon Park yesterday, doing lots of walking with direction changes to stop them pulling. Roy was moderately interested in the different birds, ducks etc, but didn't pull hard on the lead. He seemed very uncertain of how to react when we saw a labrador and I think if he can meet some dogs other than large dogs (we met an Irish wolfhound and he was fine), he will learn that they are fine and nothing to worry about. I think it is just because he hasn't had the experience. A few more walks in the park will help I'm sure xx
Tuesday 01 May 14:41
I was so saddened to hear that Roy and Saddle were back at the kennels. If only my own circumstances were different, they would be mine forever despite their naughtiness!....... :-(
Saturday 28 Apr 13:08
popped in the kennels 2day and said hi to Roy and Saddle recent returnees... Dont worry all mummy will be back from hols soon..Ruth..Good to see the new doors on kennels pinted bright blue.. Greek Blue..xx
Friday 27 Apr 13:27
So sad to see your pic however paws crossed for next time. You will have to share your cuddle with Saddle. Axx
Monday 23 Apr 18:35
Poor boys, I felt so sorry for them, you both get my cuddle tonight, xxxx
Monday 23 Apr 17:56
Very sadly Roy and Saddle have been returned to the kennels today. Although in the home they have been very good and learnt a lot about having good manners, unfortunately when out and about they have proved to be a little too much for their owners to cope with and they feel as though someone with more experience with dogs would be able to help the boys adjust to life outside of the kennel environment. They are very upset to have had to make this decision and feel they have let them down. We are grateful to them for giving them a chance but we maybe need to reconsider what the boys need and what would be the best solution for them finding their forever home or homes would be. They are currently fast asleep and quite settled. Xxx
Monday 23 Apr 17:53
Oh no, poor guys, hope everything is ok. You two get my cuddle today. Such a shame.
Monday 23 Apr 16:21
Oh no just noticed Roy & Saddle are back, :(
Tuesday 10 Apr 09:38
So pleased. Be good lads.
Friday 30 Mar 16:38

Friday 16 Feb 19:51
Sorry pressed add to early due to a hound on my lap! Someone please give these babies a chance, they will give you so much love and ask for not a lot in return. Good lyck boys xxx
Friday 16 Feb 19:48
Roy and Saddle are just gorgeous together!! About 18 months ago we adopted two very similar hounds Ronnie n Reggie, as I look at Ron now upside down on the sofa, legs waving on the air as he sleeps and Reggie, flat out snoring in front of the log fire, I realise I couldnt be happier!! They make me laugh out loud every day with their stupidity, whether its Reggie raiding the bin or Ronnie trying to sit on my lap!! They ask for nothing other than to be with us, a daily walk and their dinner....its a bit like me really!!
Friday 16 Feb 09:14
Roy and Saddle are just adorable. They are litter brothers and have never been separated. I had them at home for a few nights to give them a break from the kennels and to see how they reacted to home life..... they could not be more perfect!!!! They were clean, settled and very easy to manage! Please give us a call if you would like to trial or foster to see if they would make a perfect family. They are gentle on the lead and just need each other...... Sadly they are not cat friendly.
Sunday 04 Feb 21:17
Beautiful photo
Sunday 04 Feb 19:56
Fantastic photo, one for the 2019 calendar I think xxxxxx
Saturday 27 Jan 23:37
Roy is just the cutest little boy you've ever met! He's an angel on the lead and follows his brother everywhere... They just need to be given a chance and I know they will make wonderful pets! They've missed out on a lot in their life so far, they need an understanding home to Show them how to be a real pet :)
Saturday 27 Jan 23:08
Jess and I spent sometime sitting with Roy and brother Saddle this afternoon. They really are delightful boys and very happy in each others company. In the right home they will thrive and be lovely friends and companions. You only have to see Ronnie and Reggie with their lovely Mom and Dad to see how happy they are being together in a great home...it would be wonderful if the same could happen for Saddle and Roy. Xxx
Monday 22 Jan 19:11
So pleased they are back together
Surely there is a home out there for these 2
Monday 22 Jan 18:52
Oh my goodness this is really sad to hear! I have previously homed one dog and when we lost him we then adopted 2 together. I am not going to lie when we adopted the 2 together I seriously wondered if we had done the right thing. Rehoming any dog takes a lot of patience, time, commitment and dedication when 2 come together it can take a little longer for them to settle. However I can honestly say the reward is significant, you get double the trouble :) humour, cheekiness and the best bit double cuddles. I really hope someone is out there with a bit heart who can offer these boys the support they need to be homed together and in return earn all their love and cuddles, its amazing!!! Good luck boys, you are both very handsome and if I had room I would snap you up. Having 2 identical hounds is already confusing so if I had 4 I think I would be going round in circles all day!! :)))))
Monday 22 Jan 17:39
Sadly Roy and Saddle have come back to the kennels. The family are very upset at having to return them. We gave as much help and advice as possible before they took them home but they found having both boys far more demanding then they expected. Sometimes we are all guilty of letting our hearts rule our heads. Hopefully the right home will soon be theirs. Xxx
Saturday 20 Jan 22:04
A big cuddle for Roy and Saddle to share tonight. Wishing Roy a very happy new life! Xxx
Sunday 07 Jan 21:58
So happy for Roy and Saddle! Xxx
Sunday 07 Jan 18:05
So pleased these handsome boys are going to stay together. Can't believe how quickly these houndies are being homed! Brilliant. xx
Sunday 07 Jan 15:32
I am so excited these boys are going to a home together. Reminds me of when we rehomed Ron n Reg. Best thing we ever did and I hope these boys bring you as much fun as our two have. Enjoy!!
Sunday 07 Jan 12:11
Lovely Saddle and Roy have been reserved and are going together ! Yay
Saturday 06 Jan 23:17
Roy and Saddle are two fabulous boys! Stacey took them for a play in the sand run this afternoon. They had a great time. Xxx
Saturday 06 Jan 23:03
OMG I am totally in love not only as this little chap is called ROY lol !!!! ( may be difficult with two Roys in the house that do not listen to me ) but saddle and roy have Bertie looking faces.... quick someone please adopt him and put me out of my misery.....3 would mean a divorce lol

Saturday 06 Jan 21:55
Wow!!! Love these little chaps and they look stunning together. It would be amazing for these boys to be homed together. Good luck beauties xxx
Saturday 06 Jan 18:20
Oh what beauts...surely 2 would be easier than 1...?! Xxx
Saturday 06 Jan 17:54

Roy and Saddle were the perfect double act....there was no way we could have split them up. Xxx Not the easiest of boys to home, but thanks to Helen and Andy they have had a wonderful happy home together. :)) Xxx
Sadly, after nearly 10 years they have had to go their separate ways, but I'm sure Roy's spirit will always be with his brother and best friend Saddle. Xxx
Sending lots of love to you all. Xxx Kate, Skip, Lyra and Cracker. Xxx
