Lovely video! They are the most wonderful companions that you could wish for! My only regret is that i was 40 years old before I fell in love ! Their affection is timeless, their devotion is ageless, their love is forever. ❤❤❤❤

I have had my boy for almost 5 years, and I have started to investigate his heritage. He never raced, but by knowing his DOB and his parents, I have found out so much about him and his family tree. This is one of the benefits of owning a greyhound. If they or their parents ever raced, you can find them in the greyhound records and learn so much. I have learned that his mothers progeny have won $3455 in prize money while his fathers progeny have earned over $16.5 Million. My boy takes after his...mother!

It's weird, because we're on our 8th hound (in over 30 yrs) and whereas I recognise many of the traits you describe, some of the others are alien. Yup, watching them run is brilliant - I *love* watching them run free. It's so beautiful! But if you're in the UK, and maybe elsewhere (check your country's laws), unless you are in an enclosed field/arena, if they have as much as trained to race _once_ (doesn't have to have been a racer), you legally *must* muzzle them if they're off the lead. If you use a racing muzzle, it's so light they barely notice it. Only our latest digs. None of the others ever did. Unfortunately, he digs in the living room, pulls up the carpet and tries to get into the concrete. As fast as your beautiful boy goes through sand! He's a bit "special"... He's also the only one who has ever played with toys. The others have had teddies which they would cuddle and/or use as a pillow, but this one has a stack of toys he loves playing with (he's only 4. Greys are officially puppies until their 3rd birthday on Sept 1st - that's the official greyhound birthday date in racing land!) The world's fastest couch potatoes can out-sleep a cat. An old cat. An old ill cat. Actually, if you like cats, you'll like hounds, they are essentially cats in a dog suit. Water? Very much an individual thing. Our latest boy is fine in the rain, loves it in fact, but won't put his feet in anything deeper than a puddle. The others put up with it, though some refused to leave the house in the rain (and you usually have to show hounds that it's raining out the back as well as out the front or they won't believe you). One swam across a canal once. The sheep in the field opposite were clearly untidy because she herded them all into one corner then returned to her dad who had to go in after her. The farmer would have been within his rights to shoot her, but she didn't so much as bark or sniff them, let alone bite, but tidied them up. Boy, did she get into trouble or what?! Ice cream? Hell yeah! And cheese. Bacon. Toast with Marmite (Vegemite at a push 😜). Chocolate - no, they're not allowed it but I'll guarantee that given the slightest chance, that choc you bought to treat yourself? It's in the dog's stomach if you blink. Some hounds have cast-iron constitutions, others are gluten and/or lactose intolerant. Our first boy *loved* curry. Our latest is gluten intolerant... Agreed, their coats don't smell, not even when wet (at least not that horrible wet dog smell, and they dry really quickly), but feed them and you will know it! Our 2nd girl used to walk into whatever room we were in, would look around, fart, and walk back out! They are absolutely hilarious dogs. We have spent over 3 decades laughing ourselves stupid at their antics. They're very much individuals when it comes to personality. They can be sneakily intelligent but also dumb as a brick. I could write a book of the daft things they've done. Our first ever dog (came with hub. Kind of a love me, love my dog thing. I did!) was absolutely terrified of small dogs and cats. I won't go into details, the embarrassment at the time was enough. Our current one will make friends with absolutely anyone. If a hound's been in racing kennels all its life before you get it, chances are it will never have met another dog breed. They think that humans and greys are weird looking members of the same species (like I said, not renowned for their intellect!) If they do meet up with another dog who is calm, they will make friends really easily as a rule, but you may need to take socializing one step at a time. You may get the world's easiest dog who'll be friends with everyone and everything, but you need to be prepared to be patient. And house-training can take a while. They've lived in kennels all their lives and are no longer puppies, but it *is* possible with patience and treats. Some are naturally clean. I had 4 kids under the age of 5½ and 3 hounds in a small bungalow: two came directly from the owners, one a rescue job you'd cry over if I told his whole story. He became my baby's protector and I'd often find them curled up together when she was old enough to slip my sight for a few minutes. She'd use him as a pillow and he wouldn't so much as twitch. I never once had a moment's worry about the dogs being around the kids (of course, I never left a baby alone with any dog! Just... No! Nothing to do with their breed, either. *No* dog should be left alone with a newborn.) I'm also convinced that growing up rescuing hounds (I used to foster them briefly whilst finding homes) helped my kids turn out as adults I'm incredibly proud of. 99% of hounds are very quiet? I'd agree. My first girl was so quiet we thought she was mute. Then one day, about 6 months in (v happy ones, she loved being with us) she suddenly barked! Just the once. Frightened the life out of us 🤣 She was a brindle - they got the brain cell. However, our latest boy has, instead of the typical "funny five minutes" most dogs have where they run around in circles like wind-up tops, a "five minute shout". No, we don't know why. He just stands and shouts at... _something?_ Not a clue what. He is by far the thickest mutt we've ever had but he's also v clean, straight from the kennel, and wants to be everybody's bestest friend in the whoooooole world! He is an absolute darling. Hounds do have their own sounds though, a cat-like "eeeuuuw" which means they want something (food, attention, etc) or they're starting to get excited. When they're excited they woofle. It's not quite a woof and still has a bit of the whine at times. They're weird! Trying to think of anything else to add, but I think you covered most of it. Though they do come with a warning. One greyhound rarely stays single. And it becomes an addiction. After our first boy was gone, we didn't even consider getting a different breed when we were ready for another (still had two girls though). Even after short periods without a hound at all, when we decided it was dog time again, we were straight on the local greyhound rehoming charity's site. We've never once regretted getting our massive, dozy, farting snuggle bums. Thoroughly recommend looking into getting one. Remember that they're sprinters, not marathon runners, so 3x20 minute walks a day will keep them really fit. Don't overdo it, they can get stress fractures. Have fun!k

My family has had three greyhounds. Sadly one passed away due to cancer, thus currently leaving us with two. They are amazing animals! I would strongly recommend anyone looking for a dog to seriously consider adopting one of these beautiful creatures. They really do love their naps. We do not allow the dogs off the leach unless they are in a fenced in area due to safety reasons. One of the three didn't get the memo about being very quiet, he does bark but will quiet down relatively quickly. They are loving and meek dogs. Overall they make wonderful pets!!!

Benny Plays FSX, I'm going to assume you don't understand what rescuing a dog is, rather than assuming you are just trolling. It means to take a dog from being abused, neglected, or abandoned, and placing them in a happy, cared-for environment. Many dogs are in need of good homes, and rather than getting a puppy from a breeder, some people choose to give homes to dogs in need. That is what rescuing is.

Hi, I've had three retired racers. At the same time. I started with an adoption of a senior brood mom, then a foster, then another that needed a new home but not his fault. Each had a different personality. I loved them all. They were such wonderful. Now I have just one dog; he is part greyhound. Don't know what the other part is nor his age. Greyhound personality, justlike the other three.

This is an absolutely lovely video and it’s so amazing to see your pups happy but just a note to other viewers that each hound is different and I wouldn’t say that many of these points are super common across all retired greyhounds (ie being great off lead without muzzle, being fearless, getting on with little dogs) are not actually that common. When adopting a greyhound people should be aware of their quirks and the special attention that might be needed to adjust them into pet life.

I concur. It came down to two choices; Greyhound or Boston Terrier. I've had a Boston before. They're very handy to blame for noxious fragrances I produce in my home, but they can be a little stubborn (Moe was in any case) and he had a lot of dental issues. A greyhound is going to be considerably larger and I thought long and hard about it since my apartment is only 650 sq. ft., but since they sleep for the majority of their lives I have a cozy little space in my bedroom planned for a crocheted dog cave I'm working on now. I will freely admit that having Moe reminded me a lot of my ex-husband with all the snorting and farting and I do miss that to some degree, ,plus it was fun to smoosh his face. Perhaps you can help answer a question I have. Is it possible to train a full-sized greyhound to use a large, doggie litter box? I have a neurological condition that sometimes makes it very difficult for me to get up and simply to go the bathroom, much less walk a dog, but I don't want my partner to have to hold everything until I feel better. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

I appreciate your input since I'm still collecting information. My other breed choices would be a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a French Bulldog or a Boston Terrier, all of which require about the same amount of exercise as a greyhound. Frenchies were specifically bred to be companions to lacemakers and I happen to be fond of the snorty-farty breeds since they remind me of my ex-husband and are convenient scapegoats for my own gaseous indiscretions. Obviously, whatever dog selected would have to be pretty low energy since getting out has been a problem. I wouldn't mind having a partner with three legs or its own disability, as one of the psychological considerations of being handicapped is finding a reason to get up in the morning. It would be nice to be needed. Should you have any recommendations, I'm more than open to hearing what you have to say, and I thank you in advance.

It's funny. When you read the story in French, they talk about a "lévrier" (a sighthound), never mentionning a greyhound. When you read the story in English, they say a "greyhound". I love all sighthounds, but always thought more about Guinefort being a saluki (because of crusades). Disclaim: I've been dreaming to get a sighthound and name him Guinefort for 25 years. Since I first learned about that story in fact. All sighthounds are beautiful.

Most of that applies to their whippet cousins who are doggy superstars as well. Although mine doesn't like the water. I noticed greyhounds we've met on walks are bit more aloof than whippets initially but are just as very friendly after they met us a few times.

I learned so much from your video. I had no idea that Greyhounds love to dig, or loved the water! My Miniature Schnauzer loves to take a dip, too. But what is most surprising about Chester is how you can take him off the lead and he'll still come back. I heard that this practice is not a good idea, but all dogs are individuals, you know? Personally, I would NEVER get a dog than didn't come when called... too difficult and dangerous.

That’s I don’t want to let him run free u fortunetly :( cause he has so much energy still and can injure more ❤️❤️❤️

You haven’t been around my greyhounds, they hate the water, take you for the walk, have loud conversations with you and chase anything that moves - including someone else’s chihuahua. The reason why the swirl their tail around when running is that they use it as a rudder so it’s their way of using it as a brake, as well as the pad things at the top of their front paws
