LINFORD
Linford is a 2 year old greyhound lad. He is a VERY handsome, leggy fellow with a gorgeous white and brindle coat. He has piercing amber eyes and lovely big, floppy ears.
Linford has been with us for only a couple of days thus far, so we are still getting to know him. He is adjusting to the different routine of our kennels and is getting used to all the fuss and attention. He has not been tested with cats or small dogs yet, but this can be carried out prior to adoption if needed.
**UPDATE 04/2010a**
Linford has been tested with our resident kitty and is definitely not cat friendly.
This gorgeous boy is still waiting for his (catfree) forever home.
**UPDATE 04/2010b**
Lovely Linford has settled in to our kennel routine now, and his personality is starting to come through. He loves his cuddles and is gentle and relaxed on his walks.
Linford is a very striking fellow, being rather tall and rangey in build with a beautifully marked coat. He has an almost heart shaped white mark in his brindle patch on his back, which just adds to his charm! This boy is sure to get his new owners a lot of attention when out and about.
**UPDATE 05/2010**
Linford has now travelled across to kennels in Norfolk, UK where he is waiting for his forever home. This boy is a real stunner and is striking in his height and slender build.
Sadly Linford is finding kennel life stressful and we would dearly love to get him settled in a foster home as soon as possible. He can be a bit reserved upon first meeting him and we feel he needs the comfort and one-on-one attention of a foster home to properly come out of his shell and show us what a beautiful boy he really is.
**UPDATE 07/2010**
Sadly the lovely Linford has been returned to us as he has proved a bit too boisterous for the 9 year old greyhound he was sharing his new home with. He is relishing his new life and since moving in to a home, his playful puppy side has shone through. He now loves to romp in the garden, play chase, and also loves his toys.
The downside of this newfound zest for life is he was running the legs off his older greyhound friend! Linford’s adopters were very smitten with him, however, and he even had his own blog! This blog, which detailed his progress, can be accessed here: http://web.me.com/pdeeprose/Linford/Welcome.html
Linford is a gorrrrrrrgeous boy, I cant stress enough how striking and elegant he is. He has now spent a few months in a home environment and had settled very well, being calm and obedient in the home. He is fully housetrained, non-destructive and ok to be left in the company of other dogs. Outside is a bit different, however, and he can get bouncy and excited when playing in the garden. Because of this we feel a home with very young children might not be ideal for this big boy in case he knocks them over.
Linford is very well behaved when out and about, and enjoys getting fussed over by strangers. He walks brilliantly on the lead and will not pull even if he sees a cat or rabbit. He can get a bit defensive if another dog comes right up in his face, but if they are polite and mannerly he will respond in kind. This relatively minor issue should resolve once he gets a bit more confidence and practice in meeting other dogs. He is equally good with large and small dogs.
Linford would do very well in a home with another young dog for company, not necessarily a greyhound as long as they’re fast and fit! He is a typical greyhound, however, in that after his mad 10 minutes he wants nothing more than to flop around on the sofa until his next walk. This lovely fella has bags of potential and has so much to give to the right family.
Lovely Linford is currently in a foster home in Norfolk where he is waiting for his forever home. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and de-flea’d and a homecheck will be required as part of the adoption procedure.
If you are interested in adopting Linford, please email me on tamakin_84@yahoo.co.uk for our information pack and adoption questionnaire. Thanks!
