"We
first decided that we would like a dog as a pet, and
after a lot of thought, we chose to adopt a
Greyhound.
We
contacted Castledon Kennels in Wickford, we were
home checked by Jodie and Sandra and then invited to
'View' the Grey's.
As soon
as we saw Sinbad, we knew he was the one we wanted.
On one
of our regular visits back to the Kennels, we were
meeting other dogs and Twister was introduced to us,
and he never left Maxine's side all the time we were
walking him, along with Sinbad. We thought
about taking him, and we were advised to let him
come for a weekend, and see how he got on with
Sinbad. He never went back to the kennels.
Both our
dogs get on very, very well. And in addition,
are inseparable. They are the most placid,
easy going, lazy dogs that any one could meet.
All they need are two 20-30 minute walks a day.
And they are very happy to sleep the rest of the day
away. They are very easy to house train.
We have never had any accidents in the house.
They are
very spoilt!
We
allowed our dogs to have the conservatory, and
gradually they have commanded the whole house.
They sleep where ever they want to. They only
do what they want, when they want, IF they
want.......... But you can't help but love
them.
They
became a part of the family so quickly. And
give us many hours of fun and laughter, and are
wonderful company. We would take more Grey's
in if we could.
We would
not be without Sinbad & Twister."

Both dogs enjoy "Cruising" along the seafront with
their heads out of the windows of 'Daddies' car. |

"It
took all of 24 hours for Wishy to win our
hearts, and Jack is her devoted companion. We
would recommend adopting a greyhound to anyone
who wants a dog. They are perfect!"

"This is a picture of our Greyhound, Glen,
in his favourite place - the sofa! We got
Glen one year ago and we really cant imagine
life without him. I would really recommend
to anyone who wants a dog to consider a
Greyhound.
We live in a small one bedroomed flat & he
is no trouble at all. I am sure that Glen
views our flat as a designer kennel! Most of
all Greyhounds are quiet & that is important
when you live in a flat. We have met some
wonderful people who also have Greyhounds.
Jodie & Sandra were able to give us lots of
follow up advice so that we knew that we
were taking care of Glen.
We dream of moving to a house and getting
more Greyhounds!!"

Harvey & Kiwi - photographed in their new home |

|
|
Harvey was specially chosen for us about 3
years ago by Jodie & Sandra. He is extremely
laidback and nothing much would upset him,
except maybe the hoover! He is very loving
and gentle & we often find him half asleep
just staring lovingly at us out of one eye!!
|
|
|

Kiwi is a totally different hound. She is
also very loving and loves to be tucked up
at night. She surrounds her rug downstairs
during the day with her soft toys and our
shoes. None of them are chewed or damaged
but she collects things during the day
whenever she has a happy moment; Food;
Biscuit; Cuddle!! Lovely little girl.
|
|
|
My hounds leave me speechless and i cant fit
in just how great they are in a few words!

'Ranger' came into our lives just over 18
months ago and changed our lives forever.
Right from the first day he settled in
immediately and by the end of the week he
had the run of the house!
From the beginning he's been perfectly
behaved, loves his walks, and carrying his
toys in and out of the garden. He also loves
many hours of sleep!
Ranger is no problem when left aone and is
ecstatic to see us when we get home.
In short, we'd recommend a greyhound to
anyone.

We didn't pick Foxy - she picked us!! She

goes by when she doesn't make us smile.

We knew
that we would have to take Bernie home with
us when he stopped at our car on our first
walk out of the kennels!
He loves to
go out in the car & really looks forward to
his trips to the park.
He has
settled in & is now one of the family..

Misty has
been with us nearly three years. She settled
in very quickly, is very loving & a great
companion to everyone, especially 'Marty' ur
other dog who has been with us nearly
thirteen years - they love to play & run
around the garden together.

Paddy - photographed in his new home |
|
|
|
Paddy
came to us just before Christmas and although Jodie
and Sandra said Paddy would be fine we were amazed
at how laid back he was with 18 people having a full
blown Christmas in his new home. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
As this photo shows Paddy had a hard time
adjusting!! |
|
|
|
He loves
his bed and his favourite toy is a very loud squeaky
leopard with orange legs. He enjoys chasing it and
then chewing it until the squeak shouts ‘STOP!!’
However, being a typical grey he soon reverts to a
more familiar pose. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
He does
enjoy his walks although sometimes he would rather
stay in bed! |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
He now
enjoys himself with a run in the park most days as
he has really adapted to his new life and is,
frankly, too lazy to chase anything for too long!!
(About 20 seconds is his limit.) |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Paddy
has changed our lives and has become a huge part of
our family and much loved by us all. We only hope he
feels the same about us!!

Ruby was
chosen for us by Jodie after a home-check. Ruby
walked in one saturday morning 7 yrs ago, and we
could not have chosen a more wonderful dog
ourselves. She is quite timid but has been known to
steal cakes & biscuits and always sneaks out to
steal the cats food when she thinks we're not
looking!!
Her favourite past-time is sunbathing.
Ruby had a hind leg amputated after contracting bone
cancer, 18 months ago, and although it was an awful
time, she bounced back & can still run. She is 11
now & very poorly.
Thankyou to Jodie & Sandra - keep up the good work!

As soon
as we saw Sky, we knew she was the dog for us. She
is very affectionate and is always looking for
attention! She loves having her tummy tickled and
you can always count on her being up for a game in
the garden! She has changed our lives and we
couldn't live without her now! |
