Jenny must stop sending me the gorgeous handsome well behaved ones !!!!! ;D

That might prove a tad difficult, as all our hounds score at least two out of the three - your guess as to which!

Max is indeed "the ideal dog". Im sorry Brando didnt take to him, was totally neutral, and my heart actually aches when i see these wonderful photos of him! Good luck Max, looks like you're in with a chance somewhere else, you handsome gorgeous Prince Maxwell.

[indysmum]

Thanks so much Suzanna ... he is indeed an absolute corker !! hope Bran finds his soul mate soon xxx take care

... just a very quick update on Prince Maxwell's progress...

When he first arrived he would bolt out the front door ... me running behind him trying to get him back .... now (4 weeks later) he bolted again out the front door, i called his name and he skidded to a holt and came straight back to Mummy ... yay

He also didnt know how to ask to go out for a wee, he now gives a little cry by the back door .... what a clever boy

He has come on so far, his recall is now brilliant, he is happy, playful, full of beans and an absolute joy to have .... someone will be a very, very lucky Mummy

You and Indy are doing such a fantastic job with Max, he is truly lovely dog. Your right, his future Mummy is going to be so very very lucky.

... Max passed another test this morning with flying colours ...

I wanted to see how he would be if i left him on his own for an hour !!!! so i took the other two out for a walk and left Max in the playroom with a bone .... after some initial crying he settled down so out we went...

Whilst on the walk i had images of coming home to chewed doors and no carpet left but nothing He was laying on his bed fast asleep .... BUT was very very very excited to see us again ....

[indysmum]

Thought i would try him a bit longer today - so took my boys out for 2 hours and left him asleep on the sofa .... when i came back he was still asleep in same position

So i feel as long as he has a good long run in the morning he will now be absolutely fine left on his own for a couple of hours.

He hasnt chewed a thing since he has been here .... apart from his toys ;D

[indysmum]

just another quick update on Prince Maxwell ....

We had visitors this afternoon - a 2 year old i wondered how Max would react and he was gorgeous - this boy does not have one bad bone in his body .... he let the boy pull his ears, cuddle him, try to sit on him - and all Max wanted to do was lick him all over .... he is a true gent

He also loves my cats to bits - he tries to play with my male cat all the time, and Oscar loves it - they soft bite each other and then end up licking .....

He has come on so far since he arrived - his confidence is growing every day and he is an absolute joy to be around.

He doesnt eat cats, he doesnt eat rabbits, he doesnt eat kids what more could anyone want .... i love him to bits.

Do you want to do straight swap for a cat hating, rabbit killing ex coursing greyhound it can be arranged. ;D ;D She does have her good points apart from that just eats and kip's all day.

[indysmum]

No thanks not today. ;D ;D

[Jeanette]

Sounds like you're doing a great job Kate, he just gets better and better. PS Cow pat rolling is only reserve for the special few !

Havent updated his thread for a while because he is such a good boy .... the only change in him, is his confidence .... it is now rocketing, Indy has to put him in his place sometimes and remind him of his manners He is a changed dog from when he first came here .....

I cant quite get over his recall, we were up the Common this morning and he spotted a group of pheasants ... he ran over as fast as he could as they all started to run... i just blew the whistle, he stopped in his tracks and came running back for his treat What a good boy.

Please remember that when this boy runs with another Lurcher he is like Lightening .... you have to make sure you keep clear

We are happily plodding on and waiting for the right home ....

Kate, Indy & Max xxxxxxx

[indysmum]

... I can now leave the front door open and not have to put him on a lead, he races out the front and waits behind my car .... so problem with him bolting has also been cured .... I just think he hadnt been taught many rules and boundaries, and now he knows them all

Good boy Max

[silverlady44]

Sound like he is improving every day Kate can't believe he has not been snapped up wish my dogs had recall like that. The only thing they sound like they have in common with your lurcher's is just keep out of harms way when they're both on the loose and grasp the nearest tree while still upright. ;D ;D And one of mine is not even a lurcher.

[gilly73]

Hi Kate,

Max has improved so much and I can not believe he is not yet in his forever home

Never mind, the right person and home is waiting to find you Max.

Love Gilly

[indysmum]

.... I know that Julie and Bob will be following this thread with interest .... i have lost your number so please call so i can update you .....

He is a fabulous boy - makes me smile everyday, and i still have no bloomin room on the sofa

I cant believe he is still available - but as i said before, only the best for Prince Maxwell he he he he xxxx

[Muddle]

I think we need more photos of the handsome Prince Maxwell please Kate!!
