I'm off to pick up Chester in a minute with my youngest daughter who can't wait to see him again! Chester also loves kids so it will be a cuddly back seat all the way to Slr hq this morning!

Chester has left the building for his next stage. He took a shine to Sue and Dave and was very gentle. Very astute and friendly with my pack. Sasha would have had a good play with him if she could have. He is so much more petite than I imagined him to be. Very whippety. Sue and Dave will update us as to how he gets on with Marley.

Xx Yup, I'm delighted that he's gone to such a lovely area Heather - 'tis one I know well from my years in Dorset. The bonus of course is that he's landed among such a great crowd of SLR hounds & their owners - he's really going to love his life darn sarf.

The adorable Chester has arrived in Dorset! He travelled brilliantly in the car. When we arrived home I took Chester to the woods, and Sue brought Marley from home so that they could meet on neutral territory. Lots of wags all round, then after a short walk, they explored the back garden, and had a brief play. Marley was up for it, if a little dominant, but bless him Chester submitted and then came back for more! Once in the house they were both hungry, so food was served and bowl manners were exemplary. He is, unsurprisingly, intrigued by his new surroundings and is now having a good explore! Thanks to Barney for all your work with the little lad, and Penny for transporting him to Jenny's this morning. Thanks as always to you Jenny for your continued commitment to these hounds 👍 We'll keep you informed over the coming days / weeks of progress. If they load properly, here are a couple of pics.

That's great news. Well done Chester for coping with the NF show. Looks like Marley may have found his new best friend.
