Ruby's trainer has been in touch and confirmed she is great with children. We saw this today when she met a visiting youngster and wagged her tail 🙂

Hi JoV We took on our 3rd hound nearly 2 years ago when my girls were 8 and 11. All 3 of my greys are representative of the breed in that they are very docile and will pretty much put up with anything which is thrown at them (not literally!) My children are (generally) quite sensible and we have always drummed it into them to be respectful towards animals etc etc but I found it's visiting friends/nieces/nephews etc who present the problems! As I said, my greys will put up with anything but just because they put up with it doesn't mean they like it - as you know it's not fair on them to be manhandled by over-exuberant kids! So, we still keep on display the poster given to us by Daybreaks which is a list of 'doggie rules' and we make sure visiting children are aware of this and know to respect the dogs' space especially if they are in their beds. I'm sure Ruth will have a copy of this poster, otherwise I can scan and send my rather battered copy! Hope this helps, Em x

To be fair to Sara, Ronnie was destroying the office at the time. Ronnie and us had a restless night and at 2am found the wife's 5ft toy white tiger, I've had some nights but never woke up watching a grey fight at to white tiger, dread to think what then neighbours thought with the wife shouting "John get Ronnie off the tiger".

Star

We have brought Star home as Bob (who was returned with her) has gone out on trial and she has settled in so well. She has been sharing Rob's magnum ice cream and ate a full bowl of dinner! She is now on her bed in the lounge with our 6, Paddy and Ruby! She is a little nervous of the odd firework going off but after initial panting on arriving, she has settled so well x

Lucy is a lovely excitable bouncy girl.. She is strong on her lead but she is walked on a harness and walks beautifully, she loves fuss and is just a really happy girl! She is soo ready for her own home and gets in really well with other greys xxxx

Sadly, Cara has been unreserved as the family feel they are not ready to adopt just yet. I am so gutted for Cara as she is so very unhappy 'behind bars' and so happy out of her kennel.... I thought this was the chance she was waiting for but it is not meant to be this time.

Hi, can you advise on Lucy's personality further? Also, I'm not sure if this is the right page to ask this, but what's your experience of taking on a third hound when there's a 7 yr old boy and 8yr old girl at home?

Blimey Sara if you can overcharge someone by £83 and still send them away with a dog I think you should be in charge LOL. I hope Ronnie enjoys his new home 🙂 J xx
