Kennel Hounds

Kayleigh and Boo are our latest arrivals. They are absolutely adorable. We do know that they both link people very much but our kennel assessment for them is not complete. We will be sure to keep this page updated with more info about these lovely girls as soon as we can.

Ember is a beautiful 5 years old black greyhound, medium-smallish in size. She has not been with us for long, but we can start giving an initial kennel assessment about her. Ember very much likes people, she is a lovely cuddly dog, very partial to her food 😊 And she likes it so much that she does not want other dogs to get near it and will give them the heck of a stare if they just think of her food bowl. She is however perfectly fine with humans approaching her bowl and in all other respects she has so far got on very well with all the other SGS greyhounds.

Hazel is a medium size 4 years old girl. She arrived in good conditions, even her teeth are quite clean – which is not always the case with greyhounds. She loves to trot around in the paddock and gets all happy and excited when it’s paddock time! She likes people, but does not like to pose for pictures, which is a big shame; had we managed a decent picture we would have shown you how one of her ears is always up like a shark fin 😊She walks very well on lead and her tail never stops wagging.

Jade and Juniper are 5 year old sisters. Rare thing, they have never raced but they have been in kennel their entire life so far. Despite this fact they are so sooooo happy and full of beans! They are not bonded so we believe they can be fostered or adopted separately. They are a recent arrival at the kennel, we will write more about them as soon as we get to know them better. What we can say for now is that they are the happiest of girls, and Jade is a foody. They are 5 and yet they behave like puppies :) It is definitely their turn at a happy life!

Jade and Juniper are 5 year old sisters. Rare thing, they have never raced but they have been in kennel their entire life so far. Despite this fact they are so sooooo happy and full of beans! Juniper seems so far to be the slightly more confident one of the two, and she is also very clean in kennel. They are not bonded so we believe they can be fostered or adopted separately. They are a recent arrival at the kennel, we will write more about them as soon as we get to know them better.

Kayleigh and Boo are our latest arrivals. They are absolutely adorable. We do know that they both link people very much but our kennel assessment for them is not complete. We will be sure to keep this page updated with more info about these lovely girls as soon as we can.

Martha is an adorable 5 years old  girl, a bit bigger than average for a girl, and truly beautiful! Martha is such a character, she is full of life and a bit cheeky – but cheeky enough to be adorable. She loves people and is a fast learner, so she has quickly learnt to know when her kennel mum is not pleased with her – which, by the way, is a rare occurrence. She is also very clean in her kennel.  She seems to be a bit interested in the odd pheasant that passes by the paddock, but we would not go as far as saying that she has a keen prey drive. She just seems a bit interested. Some experience handling dogs  prey drive might help, but we certainly don’t think that she will be a difficult dog. Quite the opposite, we think she will be a delight.

Nova is 4 years old, and arrived together with Zena and Olive. She is average size, perhaps a little thin, but her kennel mum Michelle is on the case. And fattening her up a little is not proving hard, as she loves food, any type of food, and she adores when her kennel mum shows up with treats – her favourite so far being rabbit ears. She arrived in very good conditions.

She is also a very tidy girl and in the morning we always find her bed exactly the way it was the night before: she just sleeps on top of it, without rearranging duvets and blankets. She walks lovely on lead, is very clean in her kennel and has such a lovely happy smile, that makes you want to smile back!

Olive is such a stunningly beautiful girl, just under two years old. She has never raced, which is a rare thing for a greyhound. She is slim and proud and does not like to be told off, and if you do so she gives you a dirty look 😊 She is a happy happy pup, playful and a little mischievous. She will need a gentle hand to guide her to adulthood: in kennel she is happy and confident but she has not experienced anything of the world outside kennels, her foster/forever home will need to take this into account and introduce her to novelties slowly, like you would do with a puppy. She is not the kind of dog that will try to get your attention at all costs, but she does get all giddy with excitement when she meets people. She is clean in her kennel and a fast learner and we think this will help her in the rest of her adoption journey.

The beautiful 2 years old Pippa 😊 This little pup has so far been polite and clean in kennel, a very good natured girl. To the best of our knowledge, she has never raced. She is a lovely happy dog, who adores being with her people...so much so that sometimes she tries to walk in between your legs to be closer to you and play with you :) some lead training required there, but she is adorable nonetheless. She likes to snooze outside, in the sun. And when you call her she will smile at you :) She has been polite to all the dogs she has met so far, and if a dog gets too barky at her she will assertively but politely put them back into their place. She has not fully blossomed yet, but she certainly will when she is welcomed to a lovely home. Pippa will make a lucky family very happy.

Simon is a beautiful four years old brindle boy. He is an ex racing greyhound and ran his last race in May. He is adapting amazingly well to life at the SGS kennel. He has not been with us for long, but we already know that he is so soooooo cuddly and trusting. He just loves to be with his humans. He walks very well on the lead and is very well mannered. It is difficult to describe what a pleasure he is to be around. Simon is just a perfect mix between being happy, smiling and waggly, without being too much. A happy gentleman, one may say. Anyone would be lucky to have him! If you would like to foster or adopt Simon get in touch with us.

Sonny is a 5 years old lad, who has quickly adapted to the SGS kennel routine, smart boy 😊 He seems to be a little shy when first meeting people, but onece he warms up to you his lovely personality starts to come across...and it's all good news from that point on :) Sonny is a very clean dog, with a lovely appetite and very affectionate. He sometimes gets a little worried by new things; so, at least at first, he will need a quiet home, with owners who will introduce him slowly to the world, and with no kids. He will need a little time to adjust to life outside kennel, but we are sure that he will blossom into an amazing dog.

Zara has just turned 6; she is an adorable hound, with a zest for life, small-ish in size. Zara truly has an adorable personality, she is happy and playful and when she needs some love and warmth she will put her paw on your chest.

She loves her food but eats like a lady, she won’t gobble it down; and likes to be kept all cosy. She is always curious of everything that is going on around her. Every once in a while she will jump up on you to say hello – we are trying to teach her to stop doing this but the reality is that she does it in such a lovely way….We think that Zara will be an easy dog for a very lucky family.

Zena is a young girl, at just 4 years old. She is a delight to be around. She is average size. Zena is so sooo happy and friendly; she is a little dynamite but in a polite way (I know, hard to imagine 😊). For example, she does not jump up. Walks very well on lead and will gladly eat anything on the menu, but Yorkshire pudding seems to be her favourite.
