Customer Focus: Our Story - Rosie
Rosie is looking very happy and ready for her walk in one of our Sighthound, No Escape harnesses.
Her family can tell you all about her.
“This is Rosie, a retired racing greyhound (racing name Primrose) who we rescued via Kent Greyhound Rescue aged 2.
Rosie had a short experience in a foster home/kennels and we know nothing of her previous life before, other than she is from Ireland and she sustained an eye injury racing, so was handed over to be rescued.
We found a video of her racing on YouTube in her past life where she came second, she was super fast.
Her life has slowed down for her now she is rescued. She now has a comfy bed and sofa to snooze away on. When she was rescued, it was just me and my then 3 year old son, she was so gentle and good with him.
Our family has since expanded to include my now husband and daughter, and Rosie is universally loved by us all.
She’s been nothing but impeccable with my children, which I adore her for, especially as living in a home and being around small humans is all new to her (we had to teach her how to walk on stairs when we got her as she hadn’t done it before).
She’s now 8 and greying on her face but still as beautiful as ever, and enjoys cuddling us, playing with her toy octopus and going for gentle plods around the block.
They really are the best breed, she’s my first greyhound and honestly I didn’t think they were the sort of dog to make a family pet but having now owned one I’m obsessed,.
They’re so overlooked but adding a greyhound to your life will be the best decision you ever made. They’re such affectionate, gentle, incredible dogs.
Thanks to Wiggles and Wags for providing harnesses suitable for long dogs, they can be quite hard to find, particularly at a reasonable price, and it is so important for this breed to not use a neck collar for walking for fear of injury or slipping their collars.
Rosie looks very fetching in hers, and it is a good quality harness. Thank you for being such a brilliant company!”.
Thank you Chloe for sharing how special Rosie is to you and your family. We are very proud to include her as one of our Happy Customers.
