Frankie

Meet Frankie, racing name Mineola Fortress, who is a handsome brindle boy with amazing ears. Frankie is 4 yrs old (DOB 07/07/2020) and has now been with us a while looking for his new home. He is a very friendly lad who enjoys a fuss and loves playing with his toys in the paddock. He has been running about with Freya, my greyhound, and should be fine homed with another female greyhound or on his own, so long as he's not left to much for long periods. He travels well in the car and enjoys his walks, occasionally when he's not sure about something he can go into reverse so we would recommend he is walked in a harness. Frankie has a high prey drive and so will not be homed with small furries, livestock, cats or small/medium breeds of dog. 

Frankie generally walks well on the lead but can be strong if he sees something he thinks he should be chasing, although this has improved the more he walks with us. Frankie is not good with other breeds of dog, particularly hairy or fluffy ones and will need an owner prepared to muzzle him while on walks and work with him on this.  We have been working with him on this and he can walk past other dogs, unless they start barking or lunging towards him, and he will concentrate on you for treats. 

Frankie is quite lively so may not be suitable for young children and he would enjoy a secure garden to play in. If you are interested in meeting him please do get in touch. Frankie really is a lovely dog he just needs an owner who will continue his education and accepts sighthounds for what they are.
