FRAZAR
Frazar is a 3 year old ex-racing greyhound boy who was no longer fast enough for the race track. He is a lovely big boy with a black tuxedo coat that, once he puts on some condition, will be a real stunner. Right now he is shedding his kennel coat and so looks a bit moth eaten... certainly not ready to go to the ball!
Frazar is a lively boy who would enjoy an active life, perhaps with other dogs that he could play with to burn off that excess energy. He gets on well with the other greyhounds in our kennels and greatly enjoys his romp in the paddock. Frazar loves people too and is a real cuddle monster.
Frazar has not yet been in a home environment, so new owners will need to be a bit understanding during the first couple of weeks and allow him time to get accustomed and learn the house rules. It usually takes 10-14 days for new greyhounds to start to settle down in a home, and really all they need is a bit of time and patience.
Frazar has not been tested with small dogs or cats but these can be carried out prior to adoption if required. Often ex-racing greyhounds take a bit of socialisation work to realise smaller breeds are in fact dogs as they would never have seen them before.
In general greyhounds are calm, mannerly dogs that are well used to being handled. They can fit very well in to a wide range of different lifestyles and usually adjust to the home life very quickly. Their soft, easy going nature often makes them ideal to live in a family with children, while their love of lazing around and low exercise requirements can make them perfect for the elderly. Greyhounds also don’t shed as much as other more popular dog breeds and this can make them suitable to live with allergy sufferers.
**UPDATE 08/2010**
Frazar is still with us at the kennels, and is looking forward to finding his forever home! He is an impressive big boy who is going to be simply stunning once his old coat grows out and gets a bit of sheen to it.
This gorgeous boy is currently being kennelled in Ireland, and can be transported via Kerry Greyhounds to the UK or Europe if a suitable home offer comes up. This will be organised and paid for by Kerry Greyhounds, and we ask only for a donation to help cover costs. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, de-flea'd and wormed and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure.
If you are interested in fostering or adopting Frazar, please email me on tamakin_84@yahoo.co.uk for our adoption application and information pack. Thanks!
