Nice that the owners and trainers get a mention (they are often overlooked) - Well done to you - an amazing job done by all!! Good luck to all the new owners and their hounds, hope they have a great retirement.

I see On Onandon was re-homed. He was in my kennel for a few months and he was a lovely placid dog. Glad to see you re-homed him Helen

I am glad that they got there ok.
I have the female here and she is doing well and is now microchipped and have applied for her new passport.
I hope Micky da Kids new owners love him to bits as he was a FAB dog here and Blue Endover turned into a nice dog as well.
Well done to all...

Thanks Lillian for taking my two and finding familys for them.

I think I'm beginning to learn some Italian, I've been on the site every day looking for the pictures and video. I keep understanding a little bit more of the language every time I go on.

I put a lovely bitch on the transporter for someone else a few months ago and watched the video footage of her going to a gentle, caring couple.

I know owners who send greyhounds as pets still worry about them after they put them on the transporter. I do. It's great to be able to see the new owner with your dog.

The dog I sent I know will settle with anyone, as Geoff said, He is a lovely placid dog, and a beautiful looker.

I also sent an unraced blue bitch (She's Destined) and, maybe, because she hasn't had as much exposure to different situations and people, might not settle as quickly as the dog. She was intended to be bred from, and should have been, but I hope she will be happier in Italy as a pet.

Thanks again Lillian and team

Not sure Mary. I did say she was unraced when she did her "little dog" evaluation.
