Fishdoggies on the move


There are all sorts of ways to transport the retired hounds to their forever homes. Sometimes the groups come right to the tracks and kennels to pick up hounds and other times we work with friends to help transport.
The above photo was taken by Heather V. She was helping transport some hounds from B'ham on over to the Carolina's. If you look closely in the background you can see the B'ham track.
On Wed we have a very similar transport going on. Once again friends, Mike and Judy will help 2 more Fishdoggies closer to their homes.
Rooftop Wanna B and her brother Rooftop Sting will be moving on out of our Southland kennel and head on their way to GPA-Nashville.
Carol will be adopting Rooftop Sting and Wanna B will be placed in a foster home. CONGRATS Carol!!! I look forward to posting about how Sting is doing learning home life
While these are not hounds bred or raised by us, they did race in our kennels and that just sorta makes them "mine" Just like a momma hen I guess ;)
Sting and Wanna B are both pretty shy hounds and made it perfectly clear that racing was not their forte. OK the hounds have spoken and we are listening.
Good thoughts go out to Mike, Judy and also Carol for a safe transport on Wed. Also a HUGE thank you for those who are always there to help us out with placing these hounds. With out all of you we couldn't do what we do.
Please check in tomorrow as we have MORE news about Fishdoggies on the move. It's never a dull moment!!

  2. Excited? Me? I can't wait to really see my new boy! When I saw him a few weeks ago all I came away with was how shy/scared he was of me... a stranger. I can't wait to get him home - that'll happen Thursday evening after his vetting. I LOVE shy hounds!! They blossom like flowers - some sooner, some later. TOMORROW I get my new boy Sting!!
