Needlenose daystays have been a quiet riot this week lots of hounds joining us.
Our daystays are always a carefully managed mix of hound personalities ensuring they are all happy and safe. A positive environment means our hounds love their visits.
Hounds enjoy a bushwalk/walk if fit enough & not elderly, or play in the paddocks one at a time. They mooch & mingle, nap & socialise, and all get afternoon tea…..the regulars remind us!!! Most get a ride in the red van 4 at a time. This is a highlight for most 😂
All bases will consider daystays in a managed form as hounds are in our homes. Wellington to Palmerston North

A lovely group of elderly hounds once again have been treated like royalty at Needlenose Valley Rd, such a privilege to care for these delightful oldies.

In amongst them was Katy b (Kay Tuesso) and Honey (Miss Honey)

But centre stage were the seniors…..
Elmo (Wild as Angels),
Gwen (Phantom Way) here for her first stay
Amber (Lady Zeena)

It's been a delight to host 3 older hounds at the Ōtaki aged hound care facility recently. We've had our regular Ruby (Tammy's Fire)11yrs, Needlenose OG Opie (Opawa Shay), nearly 11 and AJ (Cawborne Agar) the youngest at just 9yrs💓
Gorgeous oldies all of them.

We've had the privilege and pleasure of looking after beautiful oldie Libby (Minnie Bannister) age 13 🌹
And she has some of the best ears in the business 😊
Such a gorgeous soul. Love you Libby ❤️

We've had the delicious Bryn (Mr Booze) staying for the last week or so, gorgeous boy who settled in and showed us his playful side.
Then we were joined by Billy (England Park) for an overnighter. A trio of fawns 🌼👐🏽

Valley Rd base is currently enjoying a lovely group of hounds, we are hosting Keeley (Go Audrey), Harry (formerly Dice/unraced) & Devo (Doomsday). These 3 have loved going off road on our bush walk & generally ensuring I do 15,000 steps a day 😂😂
We also enjoyed the company of Buddy (Beast) and Louis (Louis Soleil) for a short stay.
Our hilly bushwalk is available for all hounds to enjoy, its not for the fainthearted but is a lovely challenge for your hounds

For a lovely few weeks we enjoyed the company of sweet Nala (Bombshell Blonde). She absolutely loved going for long walks and was very adventurous and investigated every interestingness we came across. After our sniffathalons, she enjoyed spending many hours seriously snoozing on the deck in the sun or chilling in the hound cave!
