What a beautiful boy!

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for your kind words

[@hothotheat3000]

You are the gold standard for dog ownership. He is so well behaved because you have put in exceptional effort to care for him. So many people get dogs and then don’t maintain them at all. He’s loved and it shows.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for watching and for your kind words.

[@cancaragold6266]

You live in a flat and you work full time but you have proven you can still give a dog a loving and happy home. I'm glad greyhound rescue are very accommodating, if only other rescue centres could see this instead of turning perfectly good, prospective owners away.

[@magnusgreyhound]

I agree with your comments. I am sure we would have been turned down by lots of other places. I think it is more important that the person is serious about the responsibility involved in taking care of a dog rather than the garden size.

[@WorksOnMyComputer]

"Overly stressed". I dare say Magnus would be flat out being stressed about anything, given the care and attention you give him. He is an absolutely adorable dog and you take excellent care of him.

What a gorgeous fellow. You are exemplary dog parents. He’s a happy boy.

[@pollyg562]

if this video gets one greyhound adopted instead of quietly disappearing its a success

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for your comments. Originally, I only planned on making one video of adopting Magnus, but I got a lot of positive feedback so I made a few more(now close to 100). I continued making the videos as I wanted to promote the greyhound breed as pets and show how wonderful they are. Over the years of making these I have been informed by several people that they videos helped them with their decision to adopt a greyhound. So that is always great to hear.

I love Magnus, he is so beautiful. I miss my greyhound, Kebo who raced in Florida. He passed away a few years ago. I used to train racehorses & since retirement I thought it would be nice to have a ex-race dog. He was the best dog I ever had & the funniest. He was a real clown & loved to make me laugh a lot. Thank you for sharing Magnus with us.

[@Nodonttalk29]

I have never seen a big dog walking so nicely on a leash! I have two dogs (Maltese and Cavalier) and my Maltese walks so gently on the leash (also because maybe she is too small to really do any pulling). It is my 22 lbs Cavalier that is the BIG puller! He seems that he does care where he's going, he just needs to get there quickly. In the future, a greyhound will be the perfect pet for me and my needs. They are silent, dont jump all over ya when you come home, lazy like me, and can get away to go sleep in their crate! My Maltese cant take her eyes off me. Even now as I type this, she is barking outside of my door to be let in even though my cat has to have his time to eat.

[@fatalexcerpts]

It's just how most greyhounds are, temperamentally speaking, to be extremely calm and docile (even when walking). I think the smallest variety, Italian greyhounds, were bred down to the size of a lap dog (less than 20 lbs, often less than 15lbs) and they used some form of terrier to do it. So you can see the terrier resemblance in SOME "iggies" (as they're often called for short), and they're bit more rambunctious and difficult to train. And so the iggy may be a little more energetic and pull the leash surprisingly enough. Full sized greyhound is essentially the exact opposite in that regard, which is very endearing and positive trait for sure. But where the iggy and greyhound do match up is in the fact that they both love to lounge around, like real couch potatoes and be warm. An iggy will nestle themselves into a blanket on the daily. My family owned one in the 1990s and that little guy would tussle around with a blanket for a good 5-10 minutes until he was completely wrapped up in it and had created a little cocoon for himself. You had to be careful and never just plop down on a couch, especially where there was a rolled up looking blanket because he'd often be inside there sleeping. In the summer, he would lay out by the big front bay window, bathing himself in sunlight. The greyhounds and iggies also will chase small game on sight, without hesitation (like squirrels for instance), because the instinct is strong. I assume most of this applies to the whippet breed too, which is a mid-sized dog, that looks just like a greyhound but is in between a greyhound and Italian greyhound size-wise. Hope that info helped?! LOL. just felt like sharing too. ;)

[@nater308]

Can confirm Cavaliers love to pull. My boy is 20lbs and gets so excited/distracted on walks by any smell, but he's always so happy!

[@keithwald5349]

I've had greyhounds, and they are indeed very gentle. Sometimes nervous, but still gentle. Surprisingly, they are true couch potatoes, as their rocket like speed is only for sprinting, not endurance. There's something very endearing about their eyes that makes them look so adorable.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Another wonderful video of Magnus. He's a delight to watch and so very well cared for. We can get a bit envious of his life.🤩 Truly a wonderful ambassador for greyhound & galgo adoption.

@@magnusgreyhound Yes, Greyhounds make Greyhound people, Forever :) TY

[@Train-Sim-Drives-UK]

Fantastic.... So nice to see a Greyhound off the lead. I had four, and all were off lead in the park. Other Greyhound owners couldn`t believe that I would let them off in public, and not wearing a muzzle. Also, nice to see one without the Greyhound coat. Many owners have an obsession of putting them in a coat, even in sweltering heat. I asked one why she had her dog wearing a coat in the heat, "Because she gets cold" came the reply......the poor thing was panting like a steam locomotive. I would never have another bread. Sadly, plenty are sent to the wet markets in China, and also dumped or hung in Spain after they have finished their racing days. Superb dogs that are 100% pure fun from the moment you get them.

We love Magnus. We had two racing greyhounds, Mikey and Mayfly. It's so easy to love a greyhound, but they were real characters. Magnus reminds us of our second one, Mayfly, but unfortunately, they crossed the Rainbow Bridge a few years ago. We recently adopted two galgos from Spain. They're terribly abused there. We picked them up at the airport and they're so, so grateful for everything you do for them. If anyone is thinking of adopting an ex-racing greyhound or a galgo, please do it. You won't be sorry. (What kind of raw meat do you give him?)

I've never seen another dog owner wash their dog's paws after a walk before. Glad to see I'm not the only one!

[@Plickery1]

Hi Magnus and his owners, love your channel, thanks so much for your videos!! I've just recently started watching you and in this video I noticed you have a crate for him. Is this ok? Because I've spoken to some dog trusts etc they all say it's a no-go as the dog will be very anxious and potentially aggressive. Can you please tell me more about your experience with crates? Because I have children and it is essential that if we get a dog it can have their own calm space, especially during playdates etc. Thanks a lot!

[@magnusgreyhound]

Dogs trust are not quite right. We had a crate for Magnus as a den just for him. We did not lock him in the crate. The door was always left open. He loved his crate and he would retreat there if he wanted some quiet time. The dogs trust may think you are intending on locking them in the crate. I know some greyhounds do not like crates, but I know lots who love them. It is all about using them correctly and being aware how how your dog sees it. Some greyhounds can find the transition from the race life to home life quite stressful. Having something familiar like a crate can be comforting for some dogs. It was that way for Magnus. I am not a greyhound expert but I do know a few who have spent their lives working with them, so that is where I go for advice and tips. I would not make any claims or statements in the videos without getting there take on the situation. It is worth getting a used crate, that way if your dog does not like it or use it that you are not out of too much money. I would say it is worth getting since you have children. The crate should be for the Greyhound only and the dog should not be pet in there by the children until it is safe to do so. Some greyhounds such as Magnus have sleep startle (made a video about this) and should not be touched when sleeping. Having a clear space for your Greyhound avoids the risk of anything happening. We put a blanket on top of the crate to make it more den like for Magnus. Since we moved to our new home. We have stopped using the crate as we have more space for Magnus and Scout to find their own quiet space. It does mean we have dog beds in most rooms. Hope this help. Glad you like the videos.

[@shirleylee121]

Love this video! Wanted to ask what’s Magnus like with bath time? And do you feed him a raw diet?

[@magnusgreyhound]

We do not bathe Magnus that often. Due to his size. we have to take him to a special dog groomer. he is not a fan of the baths, he looks sad and miserable throughout the process, but he doesn't resist much. I have done a couple of videos featuring Magnus getting bathed. We do feed Magnus and Scout a raw diet. we did try a dry food diet with Magnus for a few weeks early on, but he seemed healthier and more energetic on the raw diet.

[@johnmonck5054]

That is one lucky grey hound ..... people dont know how sensitive and loyal they are. A while back I was shown by a vet how to save dogs that were bitten by snakes and in my corner of the world its all about browns and king browns, and black snakes. As long as the venom was only a little .. injection of vitamins, antibotics and by mouth, black coffee to keep it all moving..and then by mouth at intervals water , as the dog will be shaking to much to drink itself... I have saved three dogs this way, one being a grey hound. I didnot give him back to the owner ( he left him for dead for three days before he gave the dog to me to save) I rang the Australian grey hound rescue association, i told them what happened, they in turn put the grey hound on the top of the adoption list.

[@magnusgreyhound]

Thanks for sharing your story with me. They are special dogs.

[@PaulWalker-yb9dx]

A genuine, rather than a loaded, question. On the face of it, the video could suggest that Magnus is fed an awful lot, but you do say that things like his treats are included in the daily calculation for him. What is his daily intake and how do you meaure it? We use kibble mainly and so measure by weight. Does this work for Magnus' meat and bones diet?

[@magnusgreyhound]

We would weigh Magnus's food. We have served it up so much that we can now eyeball the amounts. We also weigh Magnus regularly to make sure he is maintaining a healthy weight .
