Arnie (a.k.a Ballast)

REHOMED !!

progress update: 11/01/2016

Hi Helen, Arnie has settled in really well and is a loved member of the family.
He has grown to a massive 7 stone and that’s 7 stone of pure muscle, not fat!
As you can image, he can be a little difficult to handle at times when out walking but I still have the upper hand on him!
This adorable gentle is admired wherever we go and I wouldn’t change him for the world (well for the world I may have to think twice)
You may be interested to know that my wife who is Spanish did a little research into his background and found that he is a cross between a Lab and a Spanish Mastiff, hence his huge size!

Roxy

Roxy has now found a home !!

progress update from fosterer: 04/01/2016

Roxy has settled in well with us over Christmas.
She plays nicely with our two JRT’s and the children.
She is also cat friendly.
Really loves her walks and especially loves the water and having a good run.
She knows basic commands and stays with us off lead on our walks.
She is a really friendly girl who loves everyone she meets.
Roxy is about 6 months, small to medium size but probably a bit of growing to do.

The following is from the item description:

Up for auction is this handcrafted Art Deco style Greyhound, made from a rather fine piece of seasoned Ash sitting on a heavyweight slab of Greenheart.

Dimensions are approximately 9″h x 16″ l x 3″ d (inc. plinth)

I carved this hound earlier in the year.
It’s finished in a dark brown stain & finished with a few coats of wax for a soft satin sheen.

All proceeds from this auction will be going directly to Helen Griffiths who runs DAWG DOGS rescue so she can get her pooches some treats for Xmas.
I’ve known Helen for about 30 years now so her & the rescue mean alot to me,so any money raised would be very much appreciated!

This is a five day auction,finishing on Sunday evening so it’ll be ready to post on Monday & therefore should be at its forever home by Christmas.

.99p start so could be a bargain,but the more you bid,the happier the dogs!
