Hello Everyone, Myself and my partner Richard are soon to be the new owners of Split Verdict (known as Blitz in the kennels), we are so looking forward to bringing him home! He is our first dog, we are new dog owners and have fallen in love with greyhounds. He will be spoilt rotten in our home with lots of love and affection and we hope to make up for the poor treatment he has received in the past, I dont understand how someone could have been mean to him  We are waiting until the 2nd July as we are going on holiday just prior to that and thought it best that we wait until we are back and I then have time off work to spend with him to get him settled in and supervise the introduction to our cat! We live in the village of Capel St Mary, just south of Ipswich and are looking forward to meeting people on the many greyhound walks that take place in this area. I am really enjoying reading through all the information on this forum and am sure I will be posting many questions in the coming weeks and months! Melanie |

Hi Melanie
Congratulations on soon to be greyhound owners. You will not be disappointed.
I was born into a dog loving family and there has always been a dog of some kind or another in my life. But Fizz is my first greyhound and she is nothing like any dog I have had before. Blitz, like her will be full of wonderful surprises, loving, gentle, and sooo laid back.
Look forward to hearing of his progress

Great to hear from you Melanie - enjoy the experience - we certainly have!
since rehoming our first greyhound five years ago we've become steadily more addicted and are now up to three and are enjoy promoting the cause whenever we can.
Have fun with Blitz - greyhounds reward tenfold every effort you put into their care and comfort!

Hi Melanie, Welcome to the forum and congratulations and well done on adopting Blitz. It certainly sounds as if he is going to a wonderful home  I adopted my first grey, Mousha about 3 years ago now and I don't regret a single moment of it. She has brought so much joy, love and happiness into my life and I'm sure that Blitz will do the same for you. I wish you both loads of happiness and joy together  |

Hi Melanie
Welcome to the forum and well done for choosing Blitz. You will find people very helpful here with queries.
Like Pat S we find our greyhound so different to any other dogs we've had, its such a joy to see them gradually blossom.

Hi Melanie! Welcome to the forum  I've always been around dogs but Vinny and Gracie Lu are our first houndies and I have to say they have cemented their place as the breed for us - they are nothing like 'normal' dogs and we wouldn't have it any other way (and I mean that in all the best ways! ;D) Congratulations on letting Blitz choose you  I'm sure you will be counting down the days until you can go and collect him Sarah |

Melanie, perhaps you would like to visit him at the kennels at weekends before your holiday, and it will be lovely for you help him get to know you. H

Thanks Hazel, we popped down to see him again on Monday and hoping to get down again next weekend and the weekend after that as well. I'm hoping he will get to know us a little bit so hopefully he won't be quite as nervous when we finally take him home! If we lived closer I'd be down all the time to see him! x
