Shy hounds need homes too!

On Sat Bayou Debutante made her way into the greyhound adoption world, thanks to GPA-Nashville. Debutante is a shy little girl who really seems to enjoy having the company of another greyhound around.

Three of Debutante's brothers are already retired and living in homes. Charmin Dave and Jessie Jay were both also placed by GPA-Nashville and the other brother Diamond Dave was placed with a friend in MN.

I believe that Debutante is being fostered with her brother Charmin Dave.

This whole litter was a little bit shy/unsure of themselves. But of the ones that have found their forever homes I have heard only good reports on how everyone is doing. All have adjusted well to home life and even are showing their funny and silly side.

Sometimes this happens where you have a whole litter that all of them seem a bit shy. Sometimes it's related to lack of handling as pups but in this litters case it's not the reason. We visited with this litter quite often and they always seemed a bit reserved. Looking back and thinking about it their momma Flying Charmin was a bit of a shy girl.

It's lessons we learn. We try to be extremely picky on what females to breed to what males and the bloodlines and things along those lines.

Sometimes we don't notice our mistake until the pups are already at the track and then we look back and say "well ya, duh"

But as long as these pups are adjusting well to home life all is not a loss. It's a lesson learned.

So WELCOME to retirement Debutante!!
