TADGH

Meet the lovely Tadgh (pronounced Tige like ‘tiger’). He is a 2 year old greyhound boy who wasn’t very successful in the racing world. He is certain to make a fantastic family pet though! Tadgh is a handsome fawn boy who is going to be just stunning once he loses his thick kennel coat and becomes super sleek and shiny.



~ Personality ~
Tadgh is a really lovely boy and would do so well in a family type home where he has lots of people doing lots of things. He is full of beans and absolutely adores people. He is quite the character and will practically turn himself inside out for a rump rub!

~ Other Animals ~
Tadgh is a lovely boy and very social with other dogs of all sizes. He would do so well in a home with another dog or two present to keep him company. He is very playful and loves racing around playing chase with his hound friends. Tadgh may be suitable to live with cats but we will be testing this thoroughly before deeming him as officially cat friendly.



~ In the Home ~
Dear Tadgh has not yet been in a home environment, so new owners will need to be a bit understanding at the start and give him time to learn the house rules. It generally takes greyhounds 10-14 days to start to settle in a home, and really all they need is time and patience.

~ Out and About ~
Tadgh lives for his walks and is happiest when he’s out and about, seeing the world with his people. He walks good on the lead though gets a little excited at the start. This will likely calm down once he is in a stable home with regular exercise.



~ Greyhounds as Pets ~
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: MAY 2011**

The gorgeous Tadgh is waiting patiently for his forever sofa. This beautiful boy is super social and is guaranteed to make a fantastic family pet. He adores getting a fuss and would just about jump through hoops for a cuddle.



He loves other dogs of all sizes and is just bursting with potential.
