Needlenose Hound Services - exclusive Greyhound walking, care & homestays Welcome to Needlenose Hound Services, the experienced hired help and homestays exclusively for retired greyhounds We offer local walking and home visits too.

Our mission is to provide expert, experienced, loving care to your hound during their stay with us. Your hound will be part of our existing greyhound families and will live inside at all times, we are a true homestay. Access to 20 acres of greyhound safe paddocks and oodles of walks means plenty of exercise is available and a dedicated greyhound "recreation" paddock is well used for zoomies and so

cial fun and play. Our daystays are a structured enjoyable day of walking, lounging and socialising and they are great for the shy hound to find their feet. We love greyhounds and take our job seriously, safe secure surroundings and great company is what we provide. Our team of 5 homestay locations are always with your hound 24/7. Our pick up/drop off service is well utilised and our flexibility accommodates all your requirements. Check out our services page and feel free to enquire for any other services that you may need, we are always open to helping in other areas.

Jake (Dusky Brew) and Holly had their first bush/farm walk today in a long time. Jake has been on light duties due to breaking his back leg so no off leash for him. Our hill walk is open to all greys, a great place to start teaching recall, Lola has earned her off leash stripes but it’s taken a year!!

Well HAI from Needlenose Headquarters, it’s me Lola-Zoe announcing I am 3 today, happy birthday to my bruvas and sistas all over NZ
Zigby, Leo, Mia (Talk tonight), Arlo (Typical Arlo) and LJ.
I am a hoarder and mum found my stash last night which included Tv controls (missing for months), socks, a glove and a rotten chicken neck. I think the smell may have put her onto it.

Needlenose was overjoyed today as we welcomed back Jake (Dusky Brew) & Holly (Botany Laraine).
Jake broke his back leg 3 months ago & now has some impressive hardware. When the accident happened at his home we became his ambulance & support crew. It’s been a long recovery and he’s definately still healing so was not allowed any offleash time today.
And we got a gorgeous card ❤️.
NO chasing rabbits Jakey boy!!!

We have the company of AJ (Cawbourne Agar) this weekend who recently lost his brother Polar so we have spoilt him with lots of exciting bush walks and treats.
It’s always a strange feeling when our OG hounds arrive without their counterpart, we have missed sensitive Polar ❤️

We had a busy time over the weekend with 5 fabulous hounds joining Silvi & Lola, it was like school camp. It’s always heartwarming getting all the love from those that know us but very rewarding making new friends nurturing them during their stay.
Our regular Max joined us with his new brother Reggie (Thrilling Reggie)
Noah (Noah Rapper) and his brother Brax (Born Fab) returned for a few days.
We also welcomed Benji (Golden Fern) for an overnight stay. Happy days ❤️❤️

Rest in Love 💖Brixie Sparrow💖 20th Dec 2014 - 5th July 2024 AKA Brixie Boo, Brixie Pixie, Brix, Smartest Dog on the Planet, Brixie Poops (Bigtime Happy). Our hearts have been shattered. We had to send our Brixie over the rainbow bridge last Friday. One week she’s her usual happy self (although we were investigating a slight limp and checks and x-rays revealed nothing anywhere) and the next she developed a swelling in her neck, only to be diagnosed within a few days with an aggressive inoperable thyroid tumour, that has taken her from us at just 9 and a half years old. It’s not f**king fair. Brixie was the brightest, most social, calm and loving hound, with the thickest fur and teeny tiny mohawk. A May Hounds OG, she was so sharp, she (literally) ran rings around her brother and sister. She just “got” agility (with the help of a few treats), tricks were easy, and she figured stuff out way faster than the others, super bright. She was the life and soul of the party- a total butterfly at Needlenose gatherings, she would excitedly run around wagging her tail introducing herself to everyone, no one was excepted. We met a previous trainer of hers briefly, who said she always was watching him, this remained true her whole life with us. She used to push her head between our legs chattering while waiting to be taken out for a walk or to be fed. She loved digging in the sand, the water, the dirt and especially the hooman and hound beds. Morning Brixie was a joy. She used to come into our room and push her nose into the bedclothes and armpits, taking in the night smells, snorting, rubbing, snuffling and then zooming around upstairs with toys before flying outside for a zoom. Brixie’s nose was forensic, reading all the weemails, checking out under bridges and down drains for the trolls (rabbits). She was a Rockstar with the multitude of homestays we have had over the years, never a sharp word was uttered, although occasionally she liked to tell off oth
