🧡💙 RETIRED 💙🧡
The time has snuck up on us in a blink of an eye. Two of our veterans have hung up their racing muzzles to retire to the pet lifestyle. ✨
Green Machine (Charlie, brindle) and All About Monty (Monty, black) have officially retired.
Both have been absolute treasures to have in the kennels, and have consistently performed well being in the money for a majority of their starts. Both were simply completely honest, hard chasers - the foundations of what you always hope to have in a race dog.
Their classic racing styles would see Charlie mustering up in a race and barging through the field, whereas Monty would fly out of the boxes and slam to the fence fearlessly. Combined they have earned $90,000 together.
Monty has been with Blake for his whole racing career and Charlie for 95% of his. When you train a dog for such a long time they really become apart of the furniture and honestly, it’s so hard to imagine life without them! 🥹
Beautiful Charlie just has to be one of the most perfect examples on how placid a greyhound can be. 38kg of pure muscle yet he is so gentle, kind and soft. He has the most soulful eyes that radiate love.
There’s never a peep out of him, never a single thing out of place in his kennel. He LOVES a chin rub, a scratch at the base of his tail or really any type of affection. 😂
When he’d be jumping out of his skin feeling good he would do several spin zoomies outside with his tail acting like a whip. Such a happy boy. 🥰
Charlie has a wonderful home lined up already where he gets to become a full time professional lounge lizard 🦎💙 which we think he’ll love and enjoy very much. 💙
Monty boy, has to be the goofiest larrikin of all time in the kennels. 😂🥰🥳
Nothing bothers him at all, he LOVES strutting around, being a social butterfly with the other greyhounds and thinking he’s pretty awesome. 😎 he’s constantly making us laugh!
He like Charlie, is the most perfect kennel dog - quiet (unless it’s lunchtime 🤪), always spotless in his kennel, has perfect recall and takes pride in sleeping in odd positions! 🛌
He loves any type of pat/scratch or simply talking to him has him up and bubbly. 🥰 🧡He’s also not afraid to remind you to pat him with a nudge to your side! 😆
When Monty was younger, his signature move at the kennels was similar to what he did at the track… Barge out of the kennel door/boxes ready to go!! 🤣 after a few years he’s finally realised that he’ll get to his destination at the kennels just fine by calmly walking haha! 🤣
We haven’t yet found Monty a home (as we haven’t reached out until now) but he’s been desexed and is now ready to find his forever home! If anyone who reads this and is interested in this handsome boy, or knows someone who would be please reach out to us. 🥰🧡 we will only be sending him to the best of homes. 🧡
We believe he would suit a young/middle aged single person, couple or family with older children (as he can get excited when razzed up 😁), we think he’ll be great with other dogs but just as happy to be a single dog. We would advise to avoid small pocket pets to be housed with him.
He’ll make a fantastic addition to someone’s life. He’s a ball of character but also extremely well behaved and loves people. 🥰
I know it’s such a long post but I can’t ever fully put into words how much we love these boys. I’ve been tearing up just writing about it as I’m going to miss them so much! I’ll need some tissues. 🥹🙏🏻
We’d like to thank their wonderful owners for giving Blake the opportunity to train them. ❤️
What an honour to be apart of their lives. 💙🧡
