Saturday Feature Dog - Tilly
Tilly is the oldest of our new dogs at 5 years old and the extra life experience really shows. She is confident and friendly with everyone she meets. She's an excellent walker and responds to her name when you want to get her focus. In her kennel she is completely chilled. She makes the most of her nest of bedding to take her morning, afternoon, mid-afternoon and evening naps. Napping is important for greyhounds don't you know? Its practically a sport! 😃
When she isn't snoozing or resting her legs - standing up is boring - she is actively involved in what is going on. She'll trot out happily for walks, food, toilet breaks and to greet visitors to get her share of head scratches. When it's time to come in, she does happy dance tappy feet as you collect her. She really is the sweetest little girl.
She can be quite vocal if there are foxes around and likes to start a sing song in the kennel. However, her singing needs some fine tuning 🤣 She is confident in herself and has no problem giving a little growl to tell the naughty boys who yell at her to shut up. Despite what this sounds like she really is a polite well rounded girl. She's also another of our smaller girls at just over 26kgs when she finished racing.
Pending successful introduction she could live with children.
She has recently seen some Dachshunds on a walk and from this interaction she will need on-going socialisation with other breeds of dog.
She should be fine to live with a respectful greyhound boy. She's not a fan of overly enthusiastic young greyhounds and doesn't like other dogs close when she is eating.
