lucky lucky sam. sounds like he has found a fantastic new home. Really lovely to hear how he is getting on . . .. . .we really felt tempted by him at the kennels, but just havnt the room . .. (house or car.! )Paul sounds like the sort of owner that every racing dog should have. I look foward to hearing future antics of sam x

Yay!!! Glad he is a happy boy and has found his forever home! Xxxxx

im so happy to here that sam has settled in well, and glad he has found his special home with you. thank you for letting him be part of your family. take care of each other.
love paul (sams former racing owner) xx

just to let everyone know that Sam has settled in really well with us, he has found his special place - on my bed!! he is lovely, so well behaved, loves his food. he follows us everywhere but likes nothing more than to snuggle up on an evening on the settee with me. He goes up and down stairs with no effort at all, has tried out every bed but prefers mine to sleep on.I am so glad he was still waiting for a home when we looked at the dogs.

what a relief that sam has found a home .. . . .i wonder how he is getting on, does anyone know? We saw him at daybreaks birthday party and couldnt believe how beautiful he is.

I love your pic with your new owner, good luck Sam you waited a long time xxxx

hope you are really happy in your new forever home. be good, give them plently of love. miss you, but you are in the best place, you will always have a place in my heart. take care my special boy xxxx. thanks to your new owners too xx.

hi my big guy. hope you are behaving yourself. im sure your being looked after very well by all the staff there. please dont worry, im sure there will be someone soon who will want to take you home and give you all the love in the world, and i know you will give it them back twice as much. take care sam, big hugs and kisses xxx

so obviously loved xx i do hope you have the right home first time around xx

if anyone is interested in giving sam a loving home then please read this as it may help you descide. i owned sam when he raced and he gave us many happy moments. my intention was to have sam and take him home when his racing was finished. unfortunately sams racing came to an end abruptly when he broke his leg. it was a very bad break and it was touch and go if the leg could be fixed. luckily for sam he had a great vet who was able to sort it out. once the leg was fixed and he had his strength back on it i thought it was time to bring him home.
given that i had a cat i was hoping he was going to be cat friendly. i also live in a flat which meant him having to use the staires on many occasions.
unfortunatley as you know sam is not cat friendly and i was always concerned that going up and down the staires may not be good for his leg.
i had sam at home for 4 days and in that time he was very good. (apart from trying to get the cat.) not once did he make a mess or wee in the flat. he always waited till he was outside. he loved a fuss and would be very loyal to any new owners.
he did like to pinch the cusions and have a good chew on them. the only other slight issue was when he was left alone, or it was bedtime. after a short while he would pine as i dont think he liked to be left alone, but im sure this is something that can be resolved with the correct training.
please dont let any of this put you off, as i hope sam can find his forever new home on his first time round.
i know i only had him for a few days but he will always hold a special place in my heart. i hope there is someone out there very soon who can find a place in theres that sam can fill. he will give you much love and many happy times.
so please, please give him the chance, he wont let you down. love you sam x

this boy has got the most gorgeous 'cleopatra eyes' and boy does he know how to use them with full effect, hopefully you'll mersmerize someone very soon into taking you into their heart and home. xxxxx

Oh my god need a bigger house! Think I have a major soft spot for the beautiful big fawn boys....could have happily snook Zoe's Bob home on Monday too!!! ;) x

If only we could fit a fourth grey in, building extension to the house would do it, lol!

He is gorgeous in the flesh.

He looks like a fawn version of my Jack, same big nose, pale eyes and wacky eary! They must be related and if he's anything like my boy he'll make a fabulous pet! xxxx

omg, im in love, he is absolutley beautiful xxxxxxxx

sam failed his cat test

We love those ear's.
