Hi there, I was wondering if anyone knew of new of any retirement homes in the North Wales area? I have obviously googled and have a list of 'known' ones but was wondering if anyone knows of small smaller places or private yards. My old man is roughly 30 and won't make it through another...

Thanks everyone.

He has Serafix on both his mothers and fathers breeding (great grandad and great x2 grandad, which makes him 56% Crabbet apparently, though I'm not sure how these things are calculated. His breeding probably actually explains why he's so wonky at 22 - so much incest...

He was born in Kentucky, USA and brought over as a youngster. I've assumed that as many generations before him have been bred into a much warmer drier climate that he may not cope as well with our British weather. It makes sense in may head, although I am aware that it takes a very long time...
