Paul in North Lincs 15 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I some maybe aware I rehomed a ex track grey some while ago, and I am considering letting him go. If I am perfectly honest - Im out most nights, and when run hard, its a continuous battle just to keep the weight on especially now its getting a bit colder. A bit about the dog - he is a grand lad, just over three years, and a good stamp of dog around 28 tts. He is a quiet and gently dog, and is as happy kennel as in the house and gets on well with other dogs. I have put alot of work into him, and he lamps very well .....watches the beam , and is quick off the mark. His recall is spot on, and he retrieves well, although he is hard mouthed. For someone who only goes out a couple of times a week for a quick shine......he would be perfect, and loves nothing more than lazing about on the couch until its time to go out....... If anyone would be interested in him, please let me know. Please note: he will be going to just anyone, only someone I would be satified will look after him properly......if that person cannot be found...then with me he will stay. I want nothing for him, just the knowledge that he'll be well looked after. ........I am in near Scunthorpe DN16... Quote Link to post

Bootsha 1,306 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Good on Ya fella, nice to see someone with the integrity to be more concerned about the dogs future home rather than making a few quid. I wish you all the best in finding him a good new home, I'm sure he'll find one. By the way, he's a CRACKING looking dog. Cheers W.A.B Quote Link to post
