2 years with Magnus - Adopting a Greyhound

[@debbieakyurek5275]

Every dog should have as great an environment and home as Magnus has! It’s written all over his snout how happy he is

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for your kind words. We hope to give Magnus a good life. After all, he brings joy to us too.

[@debbieakyurek5275]

All dogs show us unconditional love but adopted dogs, especially greyhounds, seem to show us more appreciation for what we’ve done for them. I feel we need to spoil them because of the work they’ve had to do in their young lives before we owned them

[@jacquelenbialozynski6671]

@@magnusgreyhound hi Magnus.

[@saraht903]

Our dog, who we raised from a puppy, and didn’t have any kind of hard or scary upbringing, was also very suspicious of plastic bags. And also those big blow-up Christmas and halloween decorations. It was quite cute if im being honest. We’d take him up close to show him, ‘hey, this is nothing to be afraid of’ and he’d get all wiggly and happy as if to say, thsnk goodness we’re safe! I loved that boy so much.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for watching and for sharing your story

[@hothotheat3000]

I love how quiet and calm greys tend to be.

[@magnusgreyhound]

I was drawn to that fact too.

[@DanHamilton89]

Great to see Magnus again! We finally adopted our Greyhound beginning of Feb and Magnus certainly had an influence on that :-).

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for watching the videos. Glad to hear that they useful in helping you decide to get a greyhound. Hope yours settles in quickly to his new home.

[@cindym7234]

What a beautiful home and life you have given Magnus. I can hear the love in your voice for your sweet boy. You are a good man. I Love this video. There is nothing better than a rescued animal getting a great home. Love from Texas

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for your kind words. we just try to give Magnus the best life we can. he is such a sweet dog and we are lucky to have him.

[@joshmoore6165]

Have you seen any greyhound rescue places in Texas?

[@cindym7234]

@josh moore No, I haven't seen or really looked for any greyhound rescues in Texas. I am not planning to get anymore fury friends.

[@kavitadeva]

Thanks for making a new video of the Magnus. What a delight to see him run around having zoomies in the garden.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. We do love to see Magnus having fun zooming

[@jenniferlee7167]

Magnus hit the lottery, no doubt about it--he has a great home and he is quite the charmer. Thank you, I am a new subscriber and I love Magnus and Scout too.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for the sub! He is a great dog and we are lucky to have him

[@daniellebrothers3688]

Just wait! As the years pass, Magnus will continue to amaze and delight you. My dog loved to make me laugh, and he would be so goofy, spinning and tearing around me. Magnus is a lovely confident dog, and you are lucky to have each other. I only wish I had a camera when my dog saw his first snowman!

[@janeythompson1834]

such a treat to see well cared for and properly treated animals.. a wonderful way for me to get ready for a good nights sleep.. wishing peace and many happy years together for you

[@thissunchild]

Wonderful dog. Magnus has convinced me that I need to adopt a retired greyhound racing dog❤🙏🏾

[@chloeoniell5819]

Did you ever get a retired greyhound? I'm getting a retired greyhound also :).

[@CheshireCat6639]

Awww beautiful boy❤, I rescued a lurcher pup, they really are adorable, its a shame the Greys get overlooked in the shelters, they make a fabulous addition to any family❤

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Sighthounds are special dogs

[@angelalester2767]

Will be 2 years for us in August! You and Magnus certainly helped us in the early days, got lots of tips from your videos.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for commenting. The 2 years has passed quickly. Its great to hear that people have found the videos useful as that was my aim when making them. I did not want the video to be about me, just Magnus and his adventures.

[@jsaludes1]

It makes my heart feel good to see how well Magnus is doing with you!

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for your kind words. Its nice too hear.

[@Gemstar_70]

I like this video a lot because I really enjoyed watching Magnus socializing and seeing a new side to him, like how much he likes meeting and being amongst people and his friends

Magnus makes me so happy! Thank you for posting!

[@magnusgreyhound]

Lina Osofsky Glad you liked videos. You can also follow Magnus on Instagram,as I put shorter video clips on there.

[@mostlysky55]

Its great seeing Magnus again Thank you for posting this update. And all the beautiful greyhounds- they’re so majestic! I love to see Magnus run, my own beagle used to run like a bandit and would jump so high, but now at almost 15 yrs old is arthritic and can’t hardly walk well. So watching Magnus run around makes me happy. Please film Magnus going to daycare, if possible. Hope you & your family are well, blessings to all.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your story. Magnus does enjoy a good run. There is more Magnus on instagram if you want to see shorter videos of Magnus.

[@ellenmorrison3554]

Thank you for this wonderful 'day in the life of Magnus' video! I am planning to adopt a retired Grey, and found this to be an absolute delight. I like your voice calmly talking with us and Magnus, and the music is perfect for the background. I have subscribed now, and look forward to seeing Magnus and his friends again!

[@livig4636]

It’s lovely to see Magnus back, it has been two weeks since we adopted our sighthound and your videos have been a massive help! Thank you :)

They are going to be shutting the tracks down in Florida this year So good opportunity to adopt?

[@hannahrodwell6387]

Thank you for doing your update - I have been considering adopting a greyhound for months and your videos were so helpful while I was research the breed and the adoption process! I just started fostering a young greyhound thanks to your videos. Rewatching them now has been equally as helpful in the adjustment period with my new dog. So good to see Magnus has just been doing better and better! What a beautiful boy, you've done such a good job with him!

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for your comments. glad you found the videos useful. hope all goes well with your grey. they are great dogs.

What a gorgeous dog! Thank you for the video

[@sandwichman100]

i just recently said goodbye to me ex-racing greyhound after 7 years. he too had problems with his feet for quite a while when I first got him and he was often frightened of simple things like seagulls drifting in the wind (I live close to the beach) and kites! even the wind blowing the trees would freak him out at first. he got better and better as time passed. i'm now waiting to hear from the south Australian branch of the greyhound adoption program about a new boy or girl. fingers crossed the wait will end soon. can't wait to have another greymate.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Sorry for your loss. They are such special creatures and they connect with us in a delicate way.

[@aaronchandler2380]

Awesome dog. I would definitely consider adopting a greyhound. They seem to have a good temperament.

[@magnusgreyhound]

He is an awesome dog. they do have really nice temperaments.

[@GreyhoundHomecare]

Yes, very sweet, I get compliments on my grey's temperament all the time, especially from other dog owners.

Aww love this follow up! I'm so happy that Magnus is doing great! My retired racer Derby is much like him - same thing with the fur and bald spots and with the beds and burying under her blankie! She is still working on growing her bottom fur back though :) And she LOVES her squeakies - never rips them up! They have to be furry though or she is not interested. :) She also does her stretches and hops like Magnus! He has a very happy life! Great to see!

[@sinabaur9150]

Magnus is adorable. We also adopted a dog almost 2 years ago, he is an african village dog, but I'm pretty sure he has greyhound in him. He also didn't know what to do with toys when we first got him. We had to teach him how to use them, but now he loves them, and plays with them all the time.

@@magnusgreyhound That's what I love about dogs - what you give to them you get back. As a rule they're very uncomplicated, they don't ask much, just love and shelter. We've currently got two Jack Russells but we've always loved pointy dogs - our next dog will be a greyhound or lurcher. Have you ever been to Crufts? You really should go on the 'hounds' day to see the greys - you would love it. We try and go each year, it's great fun :)

[@jeanclouivil7893]

Great video

[@magnusgreyhound]

Glad you liked the video

[@Jerry-hp5sf]

We’re looking to adopt a former racer. One thing I didn’t see you address is do you need to sprint them often? They are bred for speed so do you ever need to just let them go (in a safe environment of course) or feel the need to? Thanks!

[@magnusgreyhound]

You do not need to sprint them often. There have been plenty occasions when we have taken Magnus to the enclosed park with the purpose of giving him a chance to run and he is more interested in taking it easy and just smelling the plant life. We do make sure that they get plenty of exercise and they do zoomies in the garden whenever they wish too. more often than not, walking is enough for them.

[@squadgangsta7421]

Question: After spending 2 years with Magnus, do you think he still has that independent side to him? or is he more of a velcro dog? Will he follow you without a leash? or is that something thats too ingrained into the greyhound Genome?

[@karenhirschfeld3259]

Squad Gangsta greyhounds are sight hounds and shouldn’t be off the leash unless you are in an enclosed area. Our rescue group has put out an all call several times to people when there is a hound loose. They will run after anything that catches their eye but they don’t bring them back. I have had 4 retired racers and love them

[@ThiccVegan]

Love this, I have had my Luca a year soon, Great Video Idea. Will should you out in my Video as you have given me the idea.

[@Frdzed]

Such gracious elegant creature. I never thought I'd be so attracted to greyhounds.

[@magnusgreyhound]

You will be hooked on Greyhounds now. They are very elegant. Thanks for watching.

[@Frdzed]

@@magnusgreyhound I was this close from getting one about a year or so ago. They had some up for adoption at my local pet shop. I think they were ex racing dogs. However, I'm currently committed with three other K9s in my life. Hopefully one day I'll get one.

[@monicachereches4436]

Hi. When you go to a dog park for example can you let him off leash, or does he have to be on a lead al the time when you're out and about? Also, if he's off leash, does he come back when you call him? Thanks.

[@ritual12thexit88]

Obviously very beautiful animal! Now would I be correct in saying he seems a bit heavier then your average Greyhound? But regardless, he is awesome and obviously well loved and cared for. Would love a response, thanks!!

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for watching. Magnus is a large greyhound he is taller and longer than most male greyhounds, although I know of one greyhound who is even bigger than Magnus. we control Magnus's diet to ensure he maintains a healthy weight.

[@bromeliad11]

Love watching Magnus in action..very handsome greyhound . He's well cared for too.

Our greys 2nd gotcha day is coming up in May. Piper (our grey) is a black beauty.

[@Qstick333]

This was really fantastic to see. We are considering a greyhound and are only concerned about the level of shedding. COming from a previous poodle, it's concerning. How big of a deal is the shedding and is it seasonal or year round?

[@magnusgreyhound]

shedding is not a big deal with our greyhounds. they do it about twice a year. we use the shedding blade on them and that gets rid of most of the loose hair.

[@GreyhoundHomecare]

Ours sheds in April and September. After a poodle, that ought to be a treat!
