Great news for Char,
Love from The New Icemaid Clan xxx

Hope this works out char!!!

Wonderful news for you Char (and your previous owner xxx). Hope all works out for you xxxx

How likes char then?

Love you char!!!!!!!!!

i cant belive no one has snapped this boy up yet ,he does need training with other breeds but after half a hour at the dog show on sunday he really chilled out.iv known char since he was 12months old and i know his old owner so i know him well he really is wonderful,iv just spent 20mins in his kennels with him he gave me loads of love and fell asleep on my lap.who ever does have this boy are very lucky

Char is a lovely boy & deserves a good home, he loves his food & always loves to say hello whenever you go past his kennel, hopefully he can find a home soon?? x

Char is huge and boisterous but I still love him

Sorry to hear it hasn't worked out Char :-( xxx

Unfortunately we did take Char on trial yesterday, and he is really lovely and deserves to be loved in a home that has proper time for him. We are having to take him back today as he just just too much for us with Percy (our grey) and a house which is overly child friendly. Char needs a home that has the proper time to teach him good behaviour and manners, unfortunately we are not right for him. I have felt awful about this and this has been a horrible decision but percy has to come first. he is very strong, but for anyone with time he will rewrda you with lots of love.

char went out on trial last night but it hasnt worked out so is back at the kennels :(

Thats nice that he will be with another grey xxxx

i hope this will be your forever home this time xxxxxx

Very pleased to see you reserved xxx Are you going to live with Percy ? xxxxx

Hope you don't wait long xxxx

Char is such a beautiful boy and he so wants to be back in a home...he is lovely so hopefully it won't be before too long before he is chosen. xxxxx

love the new photo, hes just so handsome, i know you shouldnt have favourites but i love him lol. hope he finds his forever home really soon :) xxxxxx

Sadly the people who reserved Char have now decided not to adopt. This is a wise choice, as thought has gone into their decision and it is best decided before adopting, but I am equally gutted that Char has missed out the chance of being picked over the last few weeks. I feel so sorry for him especially when he has been used to home life and hope he gets chosen again soon.

sorry to see you unreserved :-(

Oh no!!! Not unreserved poor Char....what went wrong? :o( xxxxxx

char walked lovely on the lead for me today, we all thought he was going to be trouble lol. hes such a lovely boy, ive fell in love with him, his new family will be so lucky to have him xxxxxxx

Chloe, I know how much this has broken your heart..... I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. We are giving him plenty of cuddles and really hope very soon he will be in a home again. Lots of love x

Words can't explain my devastation and grief at losing my beautiful boy. I wish I could put into words just how special he is and how much he truly deserves. Char is so loving and affectionate and lives for the fuss and being close to you, he is a big boy but will still get right on your lap for cuddles like a small westie. He is house trained but needs a family/couple/single person to continue with this, he will come and let you know he needs the toilet but if you miss the signs or don't let him out straight away he will go where he can, with more training I'm sure he will get better. The way to Char's heart is through his belly, he is the typical greyhound food monster and gets so excited at dinner time, the same with his walks. So long as he has his walk and dinner he is happy and content. He would do well in any kind of setting whether that be a family, where playing with the kids in the garden would be his idea of heaven, he really loves his toys!! Or a couple or single person. He would definitely prefer a house with another grey (male or female) unless somebody can be with him most of the time because he misses his family LOTS when they go out so would appreciate the company, although he doesn't wine, bark or chew ever! When I went out he used to run to the window and watch me go from there, then lie by the door and wait for me, I have never been greeted by so much love ever and I have to say that feeling never gets old, he loves unconditionally, as do all our greys which is so wonderful. Char will need a firm handler (although I am a 5 foot female!) when walking because he sometimes makes a fuss when he sees other breeds of dogs by pulling a bit and barking, and if he sees them running in the distance he barks more out of frustration, he isn't an aggressive barker. Once he says hello though he is absolutely fine, I muzzled him just to be on the safe side but he has met all kinds of dogs and has been wonderful, its just the initial excitement. Cats are his weakness and he just can't understand how he has been taught all his life to chase small furry things but he can't chase these, which is fair enough really! I have had him off lead in an enclosed field and he absolutely loves it, especially when I took toys with me, running free is every greys dream I think and its amazing when you can let that happen, he couldn't go off the lead in a pubic park because of the distraction with other dogs but if this can be worked on then he could go off in time. I am crying writing this but I need people to understand how this boy completed my life and how my heart is on the floor now he's gone, that's how special he is. Whoever takes my baby on will be so lucky and should feel so blessed to have him in their life. The photos on here don't do him justice, he is absolutely stunning to see, if you click on the family tree and race history there are photos I added of him while he was with me, and he looks absolutely beautiful. If anybody is interested in finding out more about Char you can add me on facebook: Chloe Strachan where there are 100s of pictures of him to look at and wonderful videos of him playing and running, you can also ask me anything further and I will be happy to help, I just want him to find the best possible home now because he deserves it so much, it has left me heartbroken but I know its what he needs.

There are 4 stunning pictures on the race history page especially of Char as a puppy.Definitely worth a look.He is vey handsome and I am sure he will have a home in no time.

my heart goes out to Char as he is bound to be very sad to miss his home and also to his mum who must be devastated...however he is a gorgeous boy and is used to be in a home so hopefully someone will fall in love with him and give him a home very soon...sad though :-( xxxx

Sorry to here this, we met him before and he was a lovely boy. Hope you can work your magic and find him a new home asap xxxx He is house trained i'm sure so hopefully that will help. Best wishes to his family, it must be hard to give him up xxx

Yes, Ina, it is Char. He was rehomed direct from the trainer/owner you know to a volunteer and sadly circumstances have changed where she cannot keep him any more.... she is very upset about this but the situation is out of her control. He is very sad and distressed about being back in kennels after being loved so much and I hope we can find him a home very very soon.

???? do i recognize this boys or does he just look like the dog i am thinking of? he is beautiful :-) xxxxx

Handsome boy xxx
