macoduck Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Say hello to my new girl from Ireland, Freshy (Droopys Fresh). She'll be 8 years old in April, was in 17 races and won 3, and had one littler of 6 puppies. Greyhound Friends of NC has been bringing over hounds from Ireland and the UK. Freshy flew over Feb 7th and she joined our podenco pack on Feb 10th. She's a BIG girl that my littles can walk right under. This was the only photo I saw of her, posing with Millie the small dog tester for the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust. Freshy looks petite to me, but alas, objects in the mirror are not smaller than they appear. Tell me you're a big dog without telling me you're a big dog. Each bed is 36"x26" Dinner time She did great on the 3 hour car ride home. Doesn't mind going out in the rain to potty. And she even has a few white fur spots on her back. I FB messaged her training kennel and got an immediate reply back: Hi, thanks for reaching out. We always called fresh “freshy”. She’s always had a lovely temperment. She bred one litter and we intended to breed her again but she had fertility issues. She may have had a couple of niggles in her race career but nothing major. She has a little indent on her neck where she got a bite when she was a pup from one of her litter comrades. Fresh thrives off routine. She’s very clever and knows her kennel. You could let her off anywhere on the property and she would always head back to her exact bed. It’s great to see she’s found a home all the way in North Carolina. We were very fond of her, she’s a lovely dog. Thanks for taking her into your home.

EllenEveBaz Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 So beautiful! Congreytulations to all! Freshy looks like she enjoyed the small dog test more than Millie did. And that was a lovely note from her racing kennel you posted in the other thread. 1 Quote Ellen, with brindle Milo and the blonde ballerina, Gelsey remembering Eve, Baz, Scout, Romie, Nutmeg, and Jeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerilyn Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Congratulations to all of you! Almost 8 year old black brood momma was what Wiki was when she came here.

Banjoman Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 As soon as I read the name Droopy’s Fresh I knew she must be from my side of the pond as I have seen other Droopy dogs racing at our local stadium.
