So very, very sad to hear such terrible news. Thinking of Winny's family. God Bless your sweet little girl. Xxx

It is with heartbreaking news that Winny broke both front legs whilst running. She was xrayed and the found she had brittle bone disease. The kindest decision was therefore made to put her to sleep. Devastated does not cover it.
My thoughts are with her family who kindly adopted her in April this year after she was returned and also to Cath who fostered her and found her a home. Run free little one xx

Well done sweetheart, just what you needed - a new sofa to call your own. xx
Friday 11 Mar 21:39
Winny had a lovely time in the sand run today. She has been such a quiet, withdrawn girl since her return, but she actually had a little play and enjoyed some zoomies. Fingers crossed that she is back out in a forever home very soon. Xx
Tuesday 08 Mar 21:42
Oh bless her, I hope she soon finds another loving home xxxxx
Tuesday 08 Mar 21:41
Big cuddle for Winny tonight. Very sad for her. A lovely little girl. Xxx
Tuesday 08 Mar 16:26
We have just been out to fetch Winny from a home where she has been for three years due to her owner being unable to look after her anymore.
Saturday 28 Jul 18:53

Monday 23 Jul 17:32
Winny is always so friendly without being 'pushy'. She is so young and has a lot of energy. She does respond well to vocal requests and I think she is a quick learner. xxx
Thursday 19 Jul 17:09
Winny is always so pleased to come for a walk. she settles really well after a couple of minutes walking and is a really lovely young lady. xx
Wednesday 18 Jul 11:23
Had a lovely walk with Winny yesterday - a sweet and friendly girl - fingers crossed that you find your forever home very soon xxx
Monday 16 Jul 15:58
I walked the beautiful little Winny today. What a star she is. Easy on the lead and responsive to the voice. xxx
Friday 13 Jul 21:10
This girl is absolutely stunning, she just needs someone who understands her needs, she's just a toddler who needs guidance, and once she understands what's what she will bring so much joy to some lucky person. Our first Grey was 18 months old when she came to us and she was such fun xxxxx
Sunday 08 Jul 21:22
This little beauty just needs some training time and patience and if I hadn't already got 3 of these wonderful hounds I would take her in a flash xx
Sunday 08 Jul 19:07
Very sorry to hear things didn't work out for Winny. Please don't let the sleep aggression put you off thinking of offering her a home. Our Skip suffers from this too but it doesn't cause us any problems, we know him and we know what to expect from him, it's a very manageable situation. She is a lovely little girl just looking for the right home. Xxx
Sunday 08 Jul 18:36
I took the lovely Winny out for a walk along the canals this afternoon. She is absolutely adorable. She travelled really well and lay down as soon as she got in the car. She walked beautifully and despite being quite surprised when a duck appeared in front of us, she didn't react at all. She stood watching it quite inquisitively for a while but as soon as I started walking again, she came along quite happily. She willingly accepted fuss from passers by was the perfect companion. Once back at Daybreaks, I stayed with her for a while in her kennel. She loved the attention and didn't hesitate to remind me to keep stroking her I dared stop. She's a fantastic hound xx
Sunday 08 Jul 14:36
Oh no. So sorry you have been returned again. I really hope your forever home does come along soon. Best of luck. Enjoy a cuddle tonight! Xx

A kiss for Winnie xxxxx
Sunday 08 Jul 11:07
Ruth's advice re Winnie is as usual spot on. She is really still a puppy learning the ropes and has a lot of energy no doubt.As no spring chicken myself and having had 7 Greys in my life I can definitely say I always look at the "oldies" first when re-homing (maybe I relate to their needs better LOL)
and know that once settled in they attune to my way of life which is laid back !(too much at times) I do feel Ruth slipped up with Finn though, he would be much happier if she had re-homed him in a food factory!!!!! only joking, love him to bits and he loves me especially at mealtimes LOL
Sunday 08 Jul 10:37
Sadly Winnie has been returned this morning. Her owner is understandably upset at returning her but is frightened that she may be pulled over as she can be very strong on lead at times.
She has been brilliant in the house, no chewing, but can be excitable. She does suffer with sleep aggression. She was allowed on her owners bed which caused problems so we would highly recommend she sleeps separately and with no young children.
She does respond very well to commands however being 2, she has a spring in her step so needs a confident and firm handler.
She eats well and is 99% house trained and has been left for around 3 hours with no problems.
Due to her youth and exuberance we need to find a fun loving home for her!
Sunday 08 Jul 10:27
Oh no, why is Winny back again???
Tuesday 19 Jun 06:43
Well done Winny on finding yourself another home be a good girl and enjoy your retirement.
Sunday 17 Jun 22:14
So happy for Winny! Xxx
Sunday 17 Jun 17:16
Well done Winny Woo! Hope all goes well for you sweetheart. xx
Sunday 17 Jun 16:32
Well done Winny. Hope it all works out this time. You are a beautiful girl with a lot of love to give. Enjoy your retirement and enjoy a cuddle.
Sunday 17 Jun 15:26
Great news for Winnie,we had the pleasure of walking this beautiful girl at the GGGW last week she was such a good girl and our Nifty enjoyed her company too,enjoy your new sofa Winnie xx
Sunday 17 Jun 15:22
Wow, just seen that Winny has been rehomed, fantastic news, be happy gorgeous girl and we'll done xxxxxx
Friday 15 Jun 19:43
I just love this girl, her eyes are amazing xxxxxx
Wednesday 06 Jun 21:23
Totally agree shanishoo what a stunning girl she is xxx
Wednesday 06 Jun 21:06
Omg, how absolutely stunning is Winny in the new photos, those eyes just grab you and don't let you go, just beautiful xxxxxx
Tuesday 05 Jun 15:59
Would winny be able to live with a 9y old greyhound and a 13 year old cat who is use to dogs .
Saturday 02 Jun 20:19
Is winny other breed friendly and small dog friendly?
Friday 01 Jun 21:31
So sorry for all concerned. Winny is a lovely girl so hopefully she won't have to wait too long for her forever home. Xxx
Friday 01 Jun 19:33
Poor Winny you where no doubt keeping an eye on a stranger in your garden, our two will not be convinced that the window cleaner is not a burglar lol so I always draw the curtains when he comes. It's hard for them getting used to a new life and new rules and off course lots of new people in everyday life that can be a bit frightening to a shy little girl. However it is best to return her for everyone's sake and I am sure she will soon find that forever home. Good luck sweetie I am sure you will get lots of cuddles off the fab Daybreaks crew.
Friday 01 Jun 18:13
I am so sorry that lovely little Winny has been returned. I wonder if she had been introduced to the gardner? I am sure the right family will manage to train this young lady to have manners. Big cuddle for her tonight xx
Friday 01 Jun 16:51
Aw bless you Winny, I don't like being woken up and I growl too!!!!!!, I hope the perfect forever home is out there for you, until then you get my special Friday cuddle xxxxx
Friday 01 Jun 15:49
After Winny was returned today I took her to Elmdon Park with my 8 year old Grandson.
She was an absolute delight travelling walking and behaving perfectly. She's great with other breeds and children. My Grandson walked her with a slip lead alongside me without any problems.
A lovely sweet slightly shy girl who hopefully will find her loving home very soon
Friday 01 Jun 14:02
Oh dear Winny I’m sure your forever home will come soon. You get my cuddle today.
Friday 01 Jun 12:18
Winny has been returned today following her recent homing a couple of weeks ago. Despite being fantastic around children and many other aspects of adjusting to home life, unfortunately she was becoming upset with visitors to the house, in particular gardeners, which she was barking and growling at through the window which was upsetting the children.
There was an incident where she also growled when woken on the sofa and the owner, especially having children in the house, felt it was best to return her.
The owner is understandably upset but we are sure Winny will find a home very soon.
Friday 25 May 14:20
Many happy returns to this beautiful 2 year old young lady xxx
Friday 25 May 10:14
Wishing Winnie a very Happy Birthday, sure she will be spoilt rotten today. Xxx

Saturday 12 May 06:32
So pleased for Winny. She was so cute on Thursday standing outside the office with her head reasting on the sitting stone greyhound! xxxx
Friday 11 May 18:45
Well done Winny!
Tuesday 08 May 19:33
Whilst waiting for everyone else to be ready for the walk this morning Winny decided she wanted to check out the pool, and boy oh boy did this cutiepie have fun, splashing and proceeding to give me a shower in the process... so wish I'd have had my camera on me to capture her as she was absolutely in her element! xxx
Thursday 03 May 23:15
A hug for Winny tonight. She is a quiet girl who likes her own company, but does enjoy a cuddle or two! She walks lovely on the lead and does have the most beautiful eyes. Xxx
Friday 13 Apr 21:40
What an absolute stunner, those eyes are hypnotic. If only I had room for a 4th! x
Tuesday 10 Apr 09:53
Ha ha Shanishoo, me too x
Monday 09 Apr 16:47
Walked Winny today What a cheerful little girl she is and she was so interested in everything. I think she'll settle really well xxxx
Sunday 08 Apr 20:48
Lol Mutbags, we have only got 2 greys, but they are always draped over me anyway, I have got my very own brindle coat, but I love it, my boys mean everything to me xxx
Sunday 08 Apr 18:11
Ha ha Shanishoo can you imagine us humans draped in hounds ha ha. I'd would absolutely love it!! Xxx
Sunday 08 Apr 17:44
Did type in mutbags, must check before I send lol xxxxx
Sunday 08 Apr 17:22
Just love those eyes xxxxxxx
Sunday 08 Apr 17:22
Mot bags, I agree, we always say when we win the lottery we are going to have as many Greyhounds as we can, lol, we can dream xxxxx
Sunday 08 Apr 16:46
Hehe winny is one of the clever ones! Sure your forever home won't be far away xxx
Sunday 08 Apr 16:27
Just gorgeous, when I win the lottery I am going to have every single hound that comes in and see out my days happily ever after :)))) my idea of heaven. Winny is just beautiful xxx
Sunday 08 Apr 14:55
Omg, Winny is gorgeous, our first ever Grey Bridget was the same, she just wanted to play and was just 18 months old when she came to us, she was always a bundle of fun, as I'm sure Winny is, good luck girlie, but I don't think you will need it, I bet you barely have the time to unpack your bag before you are off to your new home xxxxx
