Oct 07 - Tracker rehomed ..... 28th Sept 2007 - Near Torquay, Devonshire - “Tracker” - a 3 year old solid liver neutered male - Excellent specimen; clean - can be crated; no seperation problems - an exuberant male who is currently NOT good with other male dogs (this attitude can be trained out of him) ...  Bidable and obedient - up to date with his jabs etc... only experienced GSP folk need apply. - Business development has decided that Tracker will not get the attention he deserves... interested - pointerman@lineone.net
Since Oct 2007 - Both Phoebe and Trooper are in their new homes in the Scottish Borders...Oct 2007 Phoebe and Trooper were in kennels in Leitrim, Eire until we arranged their transfer over here and had a home awaiting them... so on 10th Oct - These two turned up at Knutsford Motorway Services at 02:00am via the Irish Pet Rescue at Leitrim - they were met by Shirley who drove down from the Eastern Scottish Borders - both now are marvelling just what doggy paradise is - and are settling in together (whilst they were at Leitrim they were sharing the same kennel, and have bonded very well) Phoebe is very nervous, but with the help of Trooper and Shirley she will soon get confident... both do not recognise their new names so they might be called something else - it is unfortunate that these lovely dogs are discarded so easily in Eire !! - ... 8th October 2007 - Irish Gsp’s “Trooper” - Neut male about 2 years old  and “Phoebe” - entire bitch also about 2 years or maybe a tad older than Trooper - she is very nervous ... so needs lots of TLC

Both are being fostered in Eire at this time... pointerman@lineone.net
GOOD NEWS INDEED - “Rudy” has been taken home (for ever) by one of the girls working at his kennels........
12 April 2007 - Poor Rudy still in Kennels - he needs a one to one home as he is an Alfa Male so needs to go to a home without male dogs
27 November - “RUDY” - an 11 year old Neutered Male in Kettering, Northants -
very experienced working dog with excellent nose but now affected by arthritis... Ok with bitches but not too good with male dogs - hates cats...
fine with livestock... owner is terminally ill and Rudy is currently in Kennels... if anyone
can find a niche in their home for this old lad for his final years, it would be good..

24-8-98 - Boris was found loose in the town of Axminster by the local Dog Warden - he had a bit of bailer twine or rope around his neck which appeared to have been chewed thru. We think he may have been abandoned by some didecoys. He was taken to the local boarding kennels and I was informed. Now called ‘Bekka’ - he lives near Worcester and is very well.

Early June 2005 - ‘Winston’ died....... it was on 23-07-02 - Winston - from Colne in Lancashire to Tyne ‘n Wear. - update 17th August 2004 - how Winston suffered..... text from Ann ::: Thought that you would be interested to know that Winston got through his operation and we got him home today. They have taken a piece of bone from his shoulder to patch up that wrist joint and have actually fused the joint and put a plate in. Apparently the fracture was an old one, evidenced by the smooth edges according to the orthopaedic vet. When the chap brought Winston to me he said that he went lame on the left shoulder sometimes after exercise and just to give him a parceatomol. Of course I took him to the vet and he has been on tablets for an arthritic joint i.e shoulder joint. The orthopeadic vet said that the shoulder is sound and the trouble was from the wrist and untreated fracture. It was not until the joint started to become deformed with more frequent lameness that this was discovered. I think that his back problems have probably stemmed from trying to cope with this joint. Poor Winston what pain he must have suffered when the joint was fractured and not treated and I feel slightly guilty that he became generally so fit that he wanted to run across the fields despite the joint, although he was rested when he became lame.
He now sports an enormous bandage but hopefully this will be replaced by a cast in ten days. The prognosis is good with this vet having a 98% success rate. He will run again pain and limp free in about ten to twelve weeks. Until then its masses of TLC and nursing.
I wish we were nearer and could come to your show. It sounds very well organised to me. Hope it goes well.
Kind regards

26th April - “Coco” is now rehomed - 24th April - pictures of Coco and comments (by Derek D) : I have been to see Coco today, (now with a Foster home in Buckhaven in Fife, 25 N/E of Edinburgh) no problems with her, a really good girl, settled right away and slept all night. After further inspection of her left rear foot found a small cut on her pad which was clean and should heal ok. I was greeted when I went into the house with kisses and cuddles and a full face wash and ear nibbles, she will definitely make someone a fantastic pet. Tends to bark a lot when she is excited, does not know when to stop, this seems to be her only fault if that is a fault, will require training on the lead, she is very strong pulls vigorously. I am no expert, only my findings.She will settle in well with any one who can be with her most, if not all of the time

Deb. has managed to book her with the courier who is coming over this Thursday arriving at Tamworth (Junction 10 of the M42) Friday morning (15th July).
so, interested parties who would like to give Jess a fresh start (she looks awfully thin, doesn’t she) - I would like a quick response to either myself pointerman@lineone.net or Deb jon@harrishawk.co.uk asap - the procedure is to print the adoption form which is found by clicking on the ‘adoption’ button at the bottom of the navigation bars over on the left - sign it and post it to me 1st class stamp - potential new owners should have owned a Gsp in the past. She must be spayed within 6 months at your expense - and a veterinary note provided to Gsp Rescue SW to prove.

6th July - Rolo Re-homed ... it was the 27th June - ”Rolo” a two year old Gsp-x-Ess bitch (unspeyed) with a long tail is available in Norfolk - apparently looks like a Gsp (!) - .The current owner types : “Work commitment have over the last couple of months have prevented Rolo going to work with my partner. We both work full-time and Ben is no longer able to take her to work with him. Rolo is fantastic when she is with us but during the day when we leave her in her run she hates it - she is constantly barking (hence the neighbours are now complaining). We have tried her inside too. We dont think Rolo deserves to be shut in her run or left on her own all day indefinately from 7.30am to 5.30pm. We would really like her to go with a family who can give her the time which we have failed to give her due to work, Rolo deserves a better life than being on her own for long periods of time until we get home. She is a lovely affectionate dog and the hardest thing for us to do is having to rehome her but we have to think about what’s best for her and not us. She is still very young dog and has lots more years to get the love and attention she needs. She just loves being with people. Rolo isn’t cut out for the outside dog she needs to be in a home with all the creature comforts with especially people. Rolo is great with children and other dogs. Cattle - we take her down the marsh were she will walk to heel - not interested in them. Cats - now what dogs like cats!! Not good with chickens. House trained (left in kitchen and conservatory) but when she is in the house I don’t leave her all day - my mum comes and lets her out at midday so she is only used to being left for about 4hrs (5 hours maximum). Rolo at the minute is an outside dog. In the kennel and run during the day and slept outside but when we got home she is with us - is taken down the marsh for 1hr/1.5hrs walks everyday. She is used to having another dog with her but I think as long as she is getting the attention I dont think she will be bothered.”” interested ? - telephone Gilly B. (Eastern Gsp Rescue) on 01692 500580
