I truly believe, the Greyhound was Gods gift to Mankind. They are just so full of Love.
They are great dogs. Thanks for your comments.
Yes yes and yes
Yes, and all dogs are in that sense!
100%
🙏💕
As a greyhound owner this is all very accurate! I'll also add that they smell really good - no doggy smell at all. & their fur feels like velvet and they don't shed too much. They're so sweet, silly and gentle but can be a bit stubborn.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience of Greyhounds.
I had one before. You should know that because their waists are so narrow, their intestines aren't as large as say a Lab or Golden or German Shepherd. This means they cannot hold it as long between poops as other dogs so you may come home to a surprise on your floor. Something to be aware of. Don't blame the dog.
Thanks for sharing your story. We feed our pups a raw diet so there poos are smaller than on a dry food diet. They also poop a lot less.
Every day they make you laugh.
They certainly do
My family has owned about 17 greyhounds and fostered another 20. There was a big fenced in field we would take them to called the Greyhound Playground. We would watch up to 25 Greyhounds sprinting around the field!
That would be quite the sight to see. Thanks for sharing
I had a rescued Greyhound a few years ago. Utterly beautiful character, full of love and affection, dumb as a post at times, but always made my life full of laughter, love and cuddles :-) One thing I did notice was that they pile on muscle mass when fed properly, so a strong lead/collar are needed for walking them after a while :-) My wonderful Trevor had his own couch, as he took up the entire length of one when he filled out, so liked his comfort. He was a champion sleeper, too, able to fall asleep within the blink of an eye. I miss him every day, and cherish the memories of our time together more with every passing day. Beautiful video, beautiful dogs. Very good family dogs, which most people don't realise. Give them some love and regular food/walks, and they will repay you with so much love and fun than you could possibly believe :-D
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience of Greyhounds
Can I ask, how did you manage with the pulling? We’re in talks with a local rescue to adopt an ex-racer, I’m concerned I won’t be able to hold him as I’m 5’3” and have arms like Mr Burns, really want to consider him though as he seems a lovely chap, but I really do need to be able to walk him by myself without my partner.
@@victoriabridges1944 I found that just gently tugging back on his lead worked at first, as he was still scared of me, but after a while, he just took to being almost glued to my leg, happy to just be out with me, and able to sniff in the bushes as we walked. It just happened naturally over a short period of time. It's the same with my friend's dogs. They drag him around like a rag doll, but as soon as I take over the leads, they quiet down and walk beside me.
Literally watching this with mine sleeping beside me
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoyed the video.
I love my rescue greyhound Ellie to bits. She's 7 and I've had her for 4 years. She just got diagnosed with endocarditis in her aortic valve and given 3 to 6 months to live. Devastating. It's not all bad, she's getting unlimited treats and steaks for dinner now, she's loving it. Give Magnus a hug from Sydney Australia!
Sorry to hear about Ellie. They are very special dogs. I can imagine how much she is loving the treats. I will give Magnus a hug.
We’ve had a Italian Greyhound and a Greyhound at the same time and loved it
That would be a fun combo to see.
Aw makes me miss my greyhound so much. He died of bone cancer a few months ago. I adore greyhound quirks (except his waking up to go out at 3 am every morning for 8 years!) 😆
Sorry for your loss. They are special dogs.
My dream is to rescue a greyhound in the future! Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching. glad you liked the video.
The sure love the dead roach sleep position. 😂
They certainly do!
He’s so handsome with his bow tie ❤️
Thanks
They are the most gentle, beautiful dogs, I feel blessed to have to been their owner.
Thanks for sharing your experience with these dogs
I've had my greyhound Lana for nearly three months now, and she's been an absolute pleasure to own. She's friendly to everyone, even cats, she's very calm with other dogs, and she's basically the best friend I always wanted.
That's great to hear. Glad to hear that Lana has settled in well to her new home.
I'm in my mancave with 3 retired racers right now. One is a Foster. Been working with these awesome dogs for around 12 years.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your experience
One of my rescues was unusually tall, even for a greyhound, so when he got the zoomies, he'd cover the entire room in about one and a half strides before having to reverse direction. And while greyhounds are explosively fast, they are not necessarily agile, so it was really a comedy display when he did this.
We have certainly had our share of greyhound comedy moments in the house. thanks for watching.
I can speak from experience about GREYTHOUNDS......they are the most beautiful sentient souls. I've had greythounds for the last 15yrs, absolutely love the breed. I'm recently bereaved of my black hound KIDDO, he was the love of my life. I will adopt again, I retire in a few years so will wait until then (or I will try to). I still go out at weekends with our hound group and get my greyt-hound fix there. I would thoroughly recommend a GREYTHOUND AS A PET.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how wonderful greyhounds are. Sorry for your loss, they are such special pups.
Greythound 😆
Have two rescues, such beautiful dogs, loving, loyal, lazy and often guffy. Amazing pets and so gentle very much a zen dogs ♥️
Thanks for your comments.
Watching this greyhound video while my grey is sleeping next to me. I m so happy to have her in my life☺️ hope more people get to know how wonderful and sweet they are
Thanks for watching. Made the video to Hopefully spark an interest in people watching to adopt a Greyhound
I think the "rabbits" used in racing are mechanical, which would explain his fixation on the lawn mower. Beautiful dogs, and lovely temperament.
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the video.
Love Magnus and Scout!!
Thanks
I’ve literally just fallen in love with greyhounds, smiled constantly watching this
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the video
Wait until you spend some time with one.
Everything you said is true! They are truly beautiful animals inside and out!
Thanks for your comments, you are very kind.
Myself and my girlfriend our adopting a retired racing greyhound next weekend. I was already excited, but this video has somehow made me even more excited! 😍
Good luck. Hope your new pup settles in quickly. They are great dogs.
This is fantastic to me because I've only heard bad stories that happens after greyhound racing I'm know glad that they do go to forever homes this is fantastic thank you this is great
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the video.
Extremely cute creatures!😁😁
They are for sure. Thanks for watching
I have 2 greyhounds ! Love them - low maintenance- loyal - lovable - sleep 💤often - best decision in my whole life 🎉
Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your experience with Greyhounds
awesome video, straight to the point without unnecessary babbling and really highlightens the reasons to get a greyhound .. well made :)
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the video.
I grew up with two rescue greyhounds. Moe was from New England and Tabatha was from Florida. To this day, Moe was light tan is still the most muscular greyhound I've seen. He had hindquarters like a thoroughbred. My black female, Tabatha was way more slender but actually quicker than moe. Every night, both would grab their beds and take em upstairs every night on command and whine until they both were covered with a blanket. I will rescue my own greys one day.
They are great dogs. Such characters.
@Colin Dooley Greyhounds aren't rescued, they are retired. They are never in any danger. You may have a hard time adopting a greyhound because there is a shortage of greyhounds because the tracks in FL had to close and there is only 2 remaining tracks still racing in WV. There are waiting lists in every adoption group so if you plan on adopting, get your name on the waiting list now at your local adoption group.
Lovely video and a relaxing watch. We're on our seventh Grey now and everything you said is true about this wonderful breed. It's amazing how we spend a lifetime making beds but can never get their's right!
Glad you like the video.
I've yet to have a dog NOT complain about my bed making...too many covers, not enough covers, their pillow...😂
such a nice video! considering adopting a greyhound in the next months, such gentle giants! thank you, greetings to the pack!
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.
I love how Magnus bounces when he walks.
it is fun to see him trot like a show horse.
I've always had greyhounds since l retired. As an airline pilot it was impossible to have any pet. But the day l stopped travelling the world l fulfilled my dream of getting a greyhound. But l got two..... Great company for me and for each other. This video is a perfect description of these children that never grow up.
Thanks for sharing your experience with Greyhounds.
I love when Magnus puts on the afterburners at the beach and leaves that other little pup in his wake. effortless acceleration. Sensational.
It is fun to watch him do zoomies
When the other dog got close, it’s only because magnus let him
Excellent video promoting greys. They truly are amazing. I have been a grey mom for many years. Been a Magnus fan for long time. And now, Scout, also.
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Sweetest dogs
Thanks for watching..
We love our Greyhound Elmo... he is a big quirky loving boy. Everyone should have a Greyhound, I know we always will.
Elmo has never "roached" unfortunately, but he does sleep in many goofy positions.
Thanks for this channel...
Hope to visit Scotland some day.
Cheers from Kentucky.
Glad you like the video. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
watching this was like having my best friend back.... same smile, same daft habits, RIP little buddy
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Happy that it made you smile.
Beautiful, Handsome Dogs ❤
They are. Thanks for watching
I found a grey hound 2 years ago, she was very thin and was on the start of leishmaniasis. I hadn’t meant to keep her but she is such a lovely girl and she loves my other animals. She’s like a mother hen, my cats sit with her and my other two dogs love her. She’s doing really well and I’m just amazed how easy going she is. I always thought they would be so much hard work. In Spain where I live there are so many of them dumped. It’s not always easy for the shelters to find them homes because like I said they think they need lots of exercise and looking after - which they don’t. They just want to be loved 🥰. Xxxxx
Thanks for sharing your story.
We are getting one tomorrow!! After 20 years of asking hahaha xx
Congratulations. All the best
Awesome. How is it going so far?😁
@@magnusgreyhound Thank you! She is the bestt
@@JoeyTreurniet Thank you so much! and amazingg betty is the best and cutest dog ever! she is so funny and lovely
I've a Greyhound Joey. Got him from Greyhound Trust. He is the best. Would never have any other breed. GREYHOUNDS RULE XXX
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. They are great.
My dog is part greyhound and i just adore her!!!
Thanks for sharing. Dogs are great.
Love my Greyhounds, will always have a greyhound in the house. They are so good and loving, one of the best breeds.
Couldn't agree more!
Magnus looks very dapper with his bow tie 🥰
Thanks for your kind words.
Picked up Eeyore on Sunday last week. He is nearly 7, he raced four four years 147 races, 29 wins. He is doing really well and is very gentle. Just starting to play. He was terrified at first, lots of panting and gulping. I am a reiki therapist so he gets reiki every day! Loves it. Thank you so much for your information
Glad you liked the video. Hope Eeyore settles in to his new home quickly.
Your Eeyore sounds lovely! We got our Rainy this past March. She had been racing in Daytona Beach. She adjusted pretty quickly and is so gentle and loving and loves everyone she meets. I wish you many years of love and happiness with your new fur baby!
We've only had our beautiful greyhound 6 weeks but I wouldn't be without her. She makes me laugh & smile everyday. While we were waiting for her to be ready for us to have her, I spent hours watching your videos of Magnus, he's just gorgeous ❤️
Thanks for your kind words. They are special dogs.
Our 10 year old Whippet boy died last month unexpectedly. I would love to get another dog when we are ready. I keep getting drawn to adopting a greyhound or 2. Watching this video is like watching my Jasper! 😂 We live in the countryside and we have some amazing places to let them explore freely. Thanks for the video. Made me smile. 😊
hey - GH are easier IMO than whippets...love whipps and have had them both. x
Sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to loose your pup. Glad you liked the videos.
Magnus has the most fantastic smile especially when he is sleeping upside down! I had always wanted an ex racer but because we had a cat, the Greyhound Trust advised against it. However, we were able to adopt two rescue greyhound puppies from them. Their mum had fallen pregnant out of the registration period, so she was put up for rehoming along with 6 puppies . They are a bit of a handful, as all puppies are but they are gorgeous loveable beautiful and very intelligent dogs, now almost 9 months old. They are great fun and boy do they run! ❤️ The Greyhound Trust at Dudley have been fantastic 👍😁
Thanks for sharing. That's a lot of puppies to look after. I have my work cut out with these two.
One of the best videos I have seen in a long, long time (and I spend A LOT of time of YT!). Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the video.
The background music choices in this vid were way better than usual, good job man
Thanks
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks
@@magnusgreyhound You're welcome.
I have just found your channel and what a wonderful video this is. We currently have our sixth greyhound Bluebell and we just can't get enough of greyhounds. Also, what a good resource for anyone considering a greyhound as a pet. Looking forward to catching up with your previous videos.
Glad you like the videos. Originally planned on making just one video. now I have around 90. still have a few more to make.
I just love your videos of Magnus and Scout! Watching them always makes me feel good when I’m having a tough day. Thank you for sharing your wonderful Greyhounds with us on CZcams! Please make more!
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the videos. Will try and make some more soon.
Great video and it really does give these awesome dogs justice. So nice. Thanks for making this
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked the video. Just trying to do my bit to promote the Greyhound breed as pets.
Love your videos. I had my home consultation today and get to meet the boy I’m looking to adopt next week! I’ve gone greyhound mad! I liked that you touched on them being theradogs, very important and true fact that dogs can be that lift that a person sometimes needs! Keep the videos coming 😃
All the best for next week when you get to meet your pup. More videos coming shortly
Thank you so much for your videos. I've followed your content for a while and super excited to adopt a greyhound of my own. I recently moved from Canada to the UK, so I look forward to joining the UK greyhound community. :) Thanks again!
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the videos.
Beautiful greyhound
Thanks for your kind words.
Brilliant, love the video. Owning a Greyhound is truly rewarding. 😀❤👍
Totally agree!
We giggled and awww’d the whole way through this video. Having a grey and a lurcher, every one of these attributes is bang on the money. This is a fantastic compilation! Thank you so much for making this!
thanks for watching. Glad you liked the video.
Beautiful video, as always!
💜💘💜
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Hi I am new to your channel, so glad I found you, what beautiful majestic dogs they are.... new subscriber! 😊
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Hope you enjoy the other videos.
Absolutely enjoyed the video. I can fully endorse all that you have said about 'reasond to get a greyhound'. We have rescued four and they all have brought so much joy to our lives. Your Magnus reminds me of our first greyhound Ellie.
Glad you liked the video.
Such a beautiful video. I've just adopted Meg and she is such fun.
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the video
Thanks for a wonderful video.
Thanks
Loved the video, thank you for this, I plan to adopt a greyhound once I can move out and get my own place and this was a great help
Glad it was helpful!
Love that you're still doing this. Your videos were definitely a factor in us deciding to adopt our ex-racer and we've now had him for almost a year.
Forgot to ask my question: where did you get that giant treat snake from? I've googled but not having much luck
The company has stopped making the snakes, which is a shame as it is a great treat dispensing toy. for what i have read some dog owners were not happy as the head did not take much of a beating. Magnus is not a toy destroyer so it works great with him. besides, the head part is not really important. it is the body as that is were the treats are and that part is very tough and durable.
Thanks for your kind words. did not plan on making so many, but I kept getting requests from people online and person to make a few more. Glad they helped you in your decision making process. Hope you felt they were real and a fair representation of your experience in adopting a greyhound.
Love your videos.We have two whippets and two greys,all on their backs with feet in the air asleep at the moment.Sighthounds are wonderful dogs.
That's quite a sight to see. Great dogs
Can you advise Carsten B. (above) about whippets?
@@helenb6399 what would you like to know?
@@jeannettesquire7298 Carsten B above wanted to know about whippets (see newer comments).🔝
Love Magnus and Scout! Reminds me of the three retired greyhounds I've had over the years, they're great companions. They are the Garfields of the dog community!
They are great dogs. Thanks for watching.
wow I suddenly have the urge to get a Greyhound 🤩
I can understand that.
wow 2 hours ago you must have been up editing a video
Do it
I feel sad for myself I liked my own comment 😂
Do itttt!
This channel was what helped us finalise our decision to get our lovely boy, Lark. He's been with us 6 months now and oh my gosh we couldn't love him more. He started out so nervous and has come so far! He even managed the stairs last week for the first time! He also is very considerate of my bad knees and always keeps pace with me when we walk. I have truly fallen in love with these gorgeous, gentle giants and a big part of it is thanks to this channel and all the wonderful info you provide! 🙌
Thanks for watching. Glad to hear that that the videos helpful. Glad Lark has found a good home.
So cute how curious he was about the lawnmower
you have a really beautiful dog
Thanks for your kind words. He is a special pup.
Yeah, he was like, “What the...?”
I came across your videos totally by accident when we were looking into getting a puppy. Thanks to you and Magnus we are now going through the adoption process with the Scottish Greyhound Sanctuary and we cant wait. I cant believe how misunderstood these dogs are by people, me previously included
Really glad the videos helped to persuade you to adopt a greyhound. They are great dogs. All the best with your adoption.
Very informative. Thanks, all the best.
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Glad you like the video.
Thanks you by France.
With my husband we decided to choose an Italian Greyhound and your video comfort our choice.
Merci et gros bisous à Magnus ❤️
Wonderful! Glad you liked the video.
Beautiful. Thank you. Lovely to see them off leash running. I’ve heard it said that you cant let them off because if they pick up a scent of a critter they’ll run straight away for miles. Always helps me with my mutt to have a pocketful of treats! Makes me very magnetic 😊
We tend to only let ours off lead in enclosed areas. it is great to see them run.
A lovely video, very enjoyable viewing.
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked the video.
I love how racing greyhounds have retirement plans and be happy with people who want a dog, to rest and enjoy the rest of their lives
Its a win-win situation for everyone
Glad to be able to give Magnus and Scout a good home
Aww just a beautuful boy❤ We have a Lurcher called Buddy, he's a Greyhound X Bedlington & he's just like Magnus goofing around & 'Roaching' 😂 & sleeps with his mouth open!! So loving & kind just like your Magnus❤ thank you for sharing Magnus with us. Much love to you both❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. Glad you like the video.
How nice to see another Video of these two lovely Greys....Scout has changed a bit she is such a lovely Lady....my big Boy Balou is still adjusting after 2.5 Month with me....biggest Problem he is very scared of every other Dog that is not a Greyhound....most of the Time i try to find some empty fenced in Fields to train him, sadly there are no dog Parks around here and my back yard is to small for him to stretch and run.... but i agree with all your points why adopting a Greyhound is just the best Thing.....how long did it take you to have the freedom to let Magnus run of leed and be sure he would come back ?
Take care, Dagmar from Germany 🤗
We have a gated private park near us with high enough fences for Magnus, so he was safe enough to be off lead there. We also practised recall in the park too. We did this before we let him off at the beach. We always make sure we have an enclosed place to take him.
Thank you so much for this video!!! I’m finally moving to a place where I can own a dog and have been researching what would be the best dog for me and my lifestyle. I want to rescue a dog and this video was very helpful! 💕💕💕🙏😇
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked the video. I have made a few other videos about our greyhounds if you are looking for more. All the best with your research.
Absolutely love your video...
Thanks for watching. Glad you like the video.
Beautiful hounds! We have two also and they are the best! Magnus' markings on his back look like wings.
They do look like wings. Thanks for watching
Got my hound from the Greyhound Adoption Center in San Diego, California. They rescue tons of greyhounds from the Agua Caliente Racetrack in Mexico and other places
Thanks for sharing. helpful info for our viewers from California.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
I love how hounds all get along so well
I do like that about them.
Nice video and loveliest accent and voice ever!
Thanks for your kind words. Glad to hear that you liked the video.
Love my sweet greys. Wanted them forever and now they have me.
Thanks for sharing. They are great pups
Keegan in Canada agrees completely! Well he would if he were not busy enjoying the sunny spot on the floor. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! Keep up the good work Keegan.
Magnus reminds me so much of my BFF's recently departed Ipo. She adopted her to be a service animal to help because she is blind in one eye, Ipo took to the job of defending her blind side like she was born to it. Ipo was so sweet and loving and goofy, oh so goofy 🙂 Watching this video made me miss the sweet girl who greeted me like a long lost friend every time I visited.
Thanks for sharing your story. Sounds like a great dog. Glad you liked the video.
Lovely video. You're so right about these lovely dogs. What characters they are. Thanks
Thanks for watching
Great video we have one too he's a wonderful dog.
They are great dogs.
Magnus is absolutely lovely and charming
Thanks for your kind words
Love Magnus and this channel. Very educational as I am looking to adopt a greyhound in the future. Question: do you need to file/trim Magnus/Scout's nails very often? If so, how do you go about doing this? Thanks for the videos, keep up the good work!
Glad you like the videos. Try to be as educational as I can without being too boring.
A beautiful video, and so true. I miss my Heather 💜
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked the video.
They are so beautiful
Thanks for your kind words
@@magnusgreyhound I love them I’m going to get one
That's great.
Hi Magnus!! PJ and Lucky just had breakfast and are heading back to bed! Ahhh the life!
Some of these retired greyhounds live pretty sweet lives
Lovely greyhounds!! We've adopted 2 in the past. One day we'll adopt a 3rd. Special sweet loving darlings!!
Thanks for watching. They are great dogs
Loved this so much. Our greyhound girl passed a year ago this Saturday 😞 We are now looking to adopt another one. They are just as lovely as you describe 💗
Sorry to hear that. Good luck with your adoption.
So sorry for your loss💔
I owned 3 racers 45 years ago. When they finished competing I sent them home to Ireland. Where they thrived in retirement.
