Love the white tips on her paws, and especially on the tip of her tail. SO CUTE. I had a greyhound and my yard was similar in size. Hated to Sugar basically just run in circles and tight figure-8's. Had to take her out to this one park that had a fenced soccer field, I'd turn her loose to run long.
Fabulous. Made me cry.. For years rescue and adoption groups have worked tirelessly to improve the image of this much maligned beautiful breed and now we are right back where we started..Heartbreaking..
I have five ex racers......they are my life my joy my passion....this was a wonderful video to watch. Thank you your commitment and passion is most evident 🙏🙏💜💜🌈🌈
Thankyou so much for posting this! My girl was adopted this week. Some disgusting human dumped her like trash in bushland. She was so shy, reserved but allowed us to touch her at the RSPCA. After visiting her we decided to adopt her. She waited at the gate non stop until we took her home. She was mildly sedated due to the trauma & kennel only life but in less than 48hrs at our home she has just blossomed. Zoomies just started so I think we're doing the right things to help her recover and it brings a tear to my eyes seeing the transformation. Any tips are welcome. She now knows we are her forever family and started teeth chsttering today with lots of tail wagging! I hope she will look like your grey soon!!
It's great when they finally feel at home and come out of their shell. We've had fosters that would take over a month before they would start showing their personality. So cool to see how happy she is!
Lovely video. We now have Darcey, our fifth greyhound, to keep us busy ! They are very special dogs that need a lot of love and understanding, just as Sissy gets. Well done you. Chris
Ha ha, crazy Sissy!!!! She is so fast and her zoomies are so cute 🤗 I really loved the message at the beginning of the video. I think people should change, regardless of what the government decides. It's hurting to think of the dogs that are used as bait or something to bet on. Thanks for the video and spreading kindness by adopting Sissy and sharing this beautiful video!
A few states in the USA still allow Greyhound racing. My family and I have adopted 4 from the racing track. They're the best pets anyone could ask for (smart little buggers to). Racing is OK as long as the proper regulations and oversight are enforced. The closing of tracks actually means that breeding will be unregulated and our beloved Greyhounds will end up, after a few generations, looking like...well, inbred monsters to fit the aesthetic of the buyers. They are a breed from ancient Egypt, bred to chase down and dig out desert varmint. Racing actually helps these beauties do what they were bred to do thousands of years ago. However when it's time for them to take it easy, that is when we come in, give them homes and love and a lot of food! Spoil them rotten!
She's as cute as a button and such fun! That first image of her could have been a picture of our latest boy. He's also a brownish-blue with floppy ears. And he's the only hound out of the numerous ones we've had who actively plays with toys like that. Grey-blues have one ambition in retirement - how to eat and sleep at the same time! We have the same off-the-lead rule about being muzzled as you have. But the majority of trainers here haven't live-trained for years. They usually use a neon-coloured toy because that's what they chase at the track (also coursing has been banned as long as fox hunting, so it's only the poachers and their ilk who continue to do it, and stopping them isn't easy, though efforts are made). It used to happen when we first started rescuing - so did cutting off a retired hound's ears so they couldn't be traced. Thanks to whoever invented microchipping because each pup has both forms of ID now. It's a *lot* better in the UK than it used to be. Still a way to go to make it perfect (I have no problems with them racing, they love it. And I could tell you stories about hounds who raced and decided to retire themselves lol. You can't force them to go shooting out of the traps. Besides, running is what they love!) but there was a *massive* effort at the end of the 20th century to improve matters here and things did improve hugely. Just goes to show that changes can be made. If things haven't yet changed in your country, good luck!
She's barely moving there trust me. Use to have a whippet, so not quite as fast as greyhound because they are smaller, but nevertheless insanely fast. Once they get in their stride their speed is incredible.
I have an identical one - dark brown with white on the chest, each paw, and the tip of his tail. Ottis. Got him 2 years ago. He plays with his toys and spins around like that just like yours. What a sweet, gentle dog. LOVES his toys.
I've only had Brock for about a week.He behaves like this in our backyard too. One thing I've noticed is he creates the most complicated track to do this kind of running in. Around trees, around Yard furniture around the Sundial, around the barbecue. He is completely confusing to watch and amazingly funny. Brock is off the track about 3 months.
Lovely!!! Music should be lowered a bit so that we can hear your happy laughter, too. I think it's the best complement to those images! Absolutely adorable! Thanks for sharing!
I have a retired greyhound called forelacka trudy who is beautiful I adopted from a rescue centre and had 2 brothers also greyhounds sadly they died within 4 months of each other they were both 11 years old B
@@JulesWilliamson same. I wish our boy would chase balls, catch frisbees, or just play...I've tried everything I can think of but he just watches like I'm balmy.
my fear is that without the racing the breed will suffer from mix breeding, some of the kennels treat those dogs very well with the best food and even really good vets
I had 2 greyhounds who were brothers. Lughiill Tommy died from cushings disease and lughiill jody died from osteosarcoma they died within 4 months of each other and now I have a new hound called forelacka trudy who is 8 years old and gorgeous I will only adopt black greyhounds as they are beautiful
I just lost my rescue saluki x greyhound to a seizure, its taken me over a year to overcome depression from her dying in my arms, happened out of the blue at 5am she woke up and yelped and died within 5 secs, which iam glad she didn't suffer
Greyhounds usually look at you as if they're saying: why did you throw it if you wanted it in the first place? Idiot! As I said in my own comment, our latest is the only one who's ever played like that. He's accumulated more toys in the 14 months we've had him than all the others did in thirty years! They were not interested. A teddy to cuddle, maybe, but that's it. Mind, our latest also has a thing for nicking my socks. Doesn't do anything, just takes them to his bed. He's not alone, I'm basically housebound. He's been left once for about 2 hours since we got him and that was just over a month ago. He's just weird. And wonderful!
This is awesome! i have a question for you! How long did it take for her to warm up like this once you brought her home? I just rescued my greyhound about 3 weeks ago and she is starting to play a little bit but nothing like this. :) Thanks!
I’m glad your dog is having a good time in your yard. Many people here are fed propaganda about racing life being so dystopian. There have been many reforms in racing and owners, trainers have happily complied. But the thank you still seems to be to put them out of business, make the breed an unaffordable show breed for most people, or worse, non-existent.
I'm shocked at her stamina. Whenever we take our greyhound to the dog park to run around, he spends the rest of the day sleeping (usually on one of our beds). We couldn't get him to run around again if we tried.
Adopted 2sisters from Florida. Since I live in Canada, I was concerned about our cold winters but with a warm coat.... they loved playing in the snow. Yes ban racing: my dogs spent 2 years of their lives in cages only coming out to run, pee and poop with minimal human interaction. I call that abuse.
Don't ban racing...improve treatment...these dogs are bred in a specific way for racing and they love to race. Banning would bring in amateur breeding and destroy the breed....work for better treatment and promote adoption of retired racers...they are a perfect dog💕
@@susannau.3535 ''Destroy the breed''...greyhounds bred to race have deformities that I have never seen in Irish Lurchers {greyhound crosses}..Roman noses, overbites are genetic faults. There will always be greyhounds, but many thousands less of them to suffer early death. Do you think dedicated people aren't already working hard to promote retired racers /non chasers/slow /injured hounds as pets? There just aren't enough homes to go round. It is an abusive industry with an appalling kill rate. Macau Canidrome for starters.
@@Oakleaf700 thanks for the info..you have an excellent point. Didn't know all of that..from what i read and researched they had very few health problems
@@susannau.3535 Sadly they suffer from a very painful and fatal disease too called Osteosarcoma ..Bone cancer.. {even our greyhound cross developed it at nearly 12 yrs.. Apart from this devastating disease, they are generally healthy..Just google greyhounds and osteosarcoma to see the devastated pet owners :( ....The affected dogs usually need to be euthanised within 12 weeks of the disease manifesting itself [a tiny limp, usually]. I love greyhounds , and hate to see them suffer..Greyhounds love to chase, which is very different to racing :)
I have an ex racing greyhound so I am sympathetic... But... that's a pretty sad sob story. Would you be able to get ALL working dogs to be 'free'? Nope. Fair and decent treatment is what should be targeted, but common sense should also be included here.
Stop the export to countries that abuse greyhounds. Macau Canidrome is Australia's shame. Zero excuse for greyhound racing, there are plenty of other things to bet on. The wastage is horrific in greyhound racing..many are killed for not making the grade, not wanting to chase, injury..Don't be an apologist for a horrid 'industry'
This video shows what these dogs can be. In the racing world they are confined without any outside stimulation other than training and racing. If a dog is 5 years when retired, that is 35 years in human life. Would we even develop normally if confined till 35 years of age? That’s why most of them appear robotic when placed in a home situation. They are shut down.
is there a greyhound in the world that doesn't have one of those ducks. The intelligent people of Florida just band greyhound racing. all eleven tracks left in Florida will close by 2021. YAY please adopt one of these beautiful animals.
Intelligent??? That legislation is SERIOUSLY flawed. There was NO provision to TAKE CARE OF THE DOGS! One of the idiots pushing the ban (GHs 2000?) admitted after, that they F-ed up! Now, the adoption groups will be STRUGGLING to take in the EXTRA 8,000 - 10,000 dogs on top of the normal stream of dogs that retire each year. The ability to take in RRs is the # of foster homes available. My group takes 6-8 at a time. They were just asked by a reputable owner to take all of his FIFTY dogs! They simply can't. Ask yourself, how many dogs will be put down BECAUSE of this ban? If you think this ban is a good thing, you were lied to, and like a idiot you swallowed the lie. I suggest you adopt a RRGH or shut up!
Years ago my aunt paid £850 for a snappy poodle that bit me twice,more recently I gave a home to a retired greyhound bitch for a £10 donation she turned to be a fantastic pet,forget about small designer breeds and get a retired greyhound,you won't regret it..
Not all trainer use live bating and they love racing u wouldn't win races if they weren't happy and healthy and if u banned racing thousands of dogs would be put down be serous and look at the whole picture
we have three from GRNSW, 2 pups and an adult with flat feet. The end of greyhound racing in NSW will mean the end of the healthiest breed of dog. Indiscriminate breeding for the domestic market will destroy the breed. It's not cruel to race a greyhound, as you can see, they love to run and they love to have a purpose in live as humans do. In the same way a kelpie loves to work for it's owner, a well treated greyhound will love to race. don't ban the industry, track down the cheats and prosecute them.
Emily Bridges who's to say they don't consider racing fun. They naturally with one another, even ones that have never seen a track or been trained to run. Should have seen the ten of them tear arseing around the yard at the gap chrismas party. most of then had never met each other, but all they wanted to do was race against each other. Only a few of them had ever run in a race. Ours certainly haven't, we got them both as pups. The fact is that there a few bad eggs in the industry doesn't mean they are all dodgy. Most of them care about their dogs and treat them really well and treat them like a member of the family. Accidents happen on the track, they happen at the park, they happen in the backyard. We almost had a head on at full tilt in the park the other day, it could have potentially ended in a major operation or even euthanasia. no one made them run, they just run in random directions, sometimes the race ezch other, sometimes they chase each other, sometimes they chase a ball. The way you use the word "Bogan " as a derogatory term shows your ignorance. These "Bogans" you speak of include Judges, police, media personalities, politicians, doctors, lawyers, tradespeople, real estate agents, gays, straight, generations of families, the old and the young
Matt Barnes With respect, if greys consider racing fun and naturally with one another, etc etc, then why make them do it for the money...? Let the greys run only for fun...! I would love to see how many of those who say to love the breed would have or keep them... It's not about THEM, it's about US and our human greed. By the way, I do not think you are the work you do or who you work for, you are the person you are. Regards.
daniel mango Couldn't agree more. I have witnessed horrible things owners of racers do to those poor animals. Similarly happens in horse racing, they even exploit the horses to the last minute of their lives after they've served them well by selling their meat yo slaughterhouses, and these dogs are cruelly abandoned after after a whole life of cruel abuse. I long for the day human parasitism on animals is definitely over
I think most breeds of dog would chase rabbits wholeheartedly and would kill them if they could catch them. I've seen Kelpies,CattleDogs,Staffies,Foxies,Poodles,Labradors all chase rabbits with great gusto. But greyhounds are by far the fastest that's why they are in racing.
I've been racing greyhounds for over forty years never had a bad injury on the race track when the they are pups they are learned how to chase a lure two or three at a time same when they go to schooling track never gave live bait just good food a vitamin e tablet my dogs big paddocks free to go out when ever they like there no profit in greyhounds 95 percent are in it for the love of greyhounds are never happier when they are chasing that lure
Nicholas Doran 40 years never an injury? 40% pups culled (killed) because they dont chase. Another 40% put down during or after racing. At best racing industry OWN statistics in Australia demonstrate 80% are dead by 3-3.5 years old. So i might believe your story about your few greys or the industry own statistics about the 20,000 born every year in Australia and 80-90% DEAD by 3-3.5. I think i‘ll stay with the stats on the 20,000 and leave your anecdotes to your grandchildren.
no way all greyhounds are micrchipped you cannot put a greyhound to sleep unless he has areal bad injury if your greyhound leaves your kennel have to show paperwork and vets cert to the greyhound board will not be allowed to keep greyhounds ever again who ever gave you that information them to stop using what ever they are on
Nicholas Doran you should read your -own- industry’s statistics. What do you think happens to the dogs on lots in rural Australia with 1,000 dogs? Five of them will be really fast and the rest are cannon fodder. All the “amateur” racers with 10 or fewer dogs are being played, and never have a chance to win big. This is just simple fact in Australia. Live baited and doped. If you are not doing this then you are not competitive. Time to open your eyes mate.
40 years racing greyhounds bred about 10 litters all of them chased the lure I think you no nothing about greyhound racing every dog is graded we have 10 graded races to suit slow to very fast dogs regards doping every dog is tested never used live bait just good food and.a daily rutine to keep them fit your lovely greyhound has more of chance of getting hurt with your garden furniture as a dog racing I live in Ireland know your stats don't add up
Greyhounds are sweet, affectionate, and gentle creatures. They deserve a spoiled life as beloved pets, not as machines on the racing track. Good luck on banning hound racing in Australia, we've had some successes in several American cities & states banning this barbaric practice.
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Saving one being is saving the world.
Love the white tips on her paws, and especially on the tip of her tail. SO CUTE. I had a greyhound and my yard was similar in size. Hated to Sugar basically just run in circles and tight figure-8's. Had to take her out to this one park that had a fenced soccer field, I'd turn her loose to run long.
Bet she loved that, John. A greyhound running through a field is a stunning sight, isn't it?
Fabulous. Made me cry.. For years rescue and adoption groups have worked tirelessly to improve the image of this much maligned beautiful breed and now we are right back where we started..Heartbreaking..
If they stopped lying and making the pity cases more people would be wanting to adopt them
I have five ex racers......they are my life my joy my passion....this was a wonderful video to watch. Thank you your commitment and passion is most evident 🙏🙏💜💜🌈🌈
I’ve never seen a greyhound actually bring it back before lol.
I’m smiling from ear to ear from this video 🧡 thank you for making the world a better place.
Thankyou so much for posting this! My girl was adopted this week. Some disgusting human dumped her like trash in bushland. She was so shy, reserved but allowed us to touch her at the RSPCA. After visiting her we decided to adopt her. She waited at the gate non stop until we took her home. She was mildly sedated due to the trauma & kennel only life but in less than 48hrs at our home she has just blossomed. Zoomies just started so I think we're doing the right things to help her recover and it brings a tear to my eyes seeing the transformation. Any tips are welcome. She now knows we are her forever family and started teeth chsttering today with lots of tail wagging! I hope she will look like your grey soon!!
It's great when they finally feel at home and come out of their shell. We've had fosters that would take over a month before they would start showing their personality. So cool to see how happy she is!
Lovely video. We now have Darcey, our fifth greyhound, to keep us busy ! They are very special dogs that need a lot of love and understanding, just as Sissy gets. Well done you. Chris
Ha ha, crazy Sissy!!!! She is so fast and her zoomies are so cute 🤗
I really loved the message at the beginning of the video. I think people should change, regardless of what the government decides. It's hurting to think of the dogs that are used as bait or something to bet on. Thanks for the video and spreading kindness by adopting Sissy and sharing this beautiful video!
Thanks for giving her a good home. Love to see the happy pups!!
A few states in the USA still allow Greyhound racing. My family and I have adopted 4 from the racing track. They're the best pets anyone could ask for (smart little buggers to). Racing is OK as long as the proper regulations and oversight are enforced. The closing of tracks actually means that breeding will be unregulated and our beloved Greyhounds will end up, after a few generations, looking like...well, inbred monsters to fit the aesthetic of the buyers.

However when it's time for them to take it easy, that is when we come in, give them homes and love and a lot of food! Spoil them rotten!
Outstanding! My boy MACHO acts the same way. Thank you and may you live for a thousand years!
Great pet owner 👍 in action. Absolutely loved it. I laughed watching the zoomies and Frisbee catches 🤣.
Love it. Ban greyhound racing.
They love racing though, my grey has dreams about his racing days.
+Poppydog he, like mine just dreams of running, not racing for money
+Robert Usher Exactly. They love to RUN, not race. Best decision we ever made was to adopt a grey.
Gorgeous dogs that do love running but not living in kennels. I have had rescue Greyhounds for 16 years and they make wonderful pets.
Gus W so the thousands that are destroyed every year are a price worth paying so you can have a pet greyhound?

It's such a shame that most people now (in my country) will never be able to afford a yard this size. I love seeing a grey play off leash.
my fear is that without the racing the breed will suffer from mix breeding, some of the kennels treat those dogs very well with the best food and even really good vets
@Danny Danny :"Expired cattle with charcoal in it"
What other looney conspiracy theories do you follow?
@Dan Danman all animals are gods creatures so feed them the right food my greyhound eats food which is 19% fat no junk food is allowed in her body
Lightens my day just watching her.
Had a greyhound for 8 yrs..most gentle and loving dog I ever had..sadly, bone cancer took her from me..so painful

Not all trainer use live bating and they love racing u wouldn't win races if they weren't happy and healthy and if u banned racing thousands of dogs would be put down be serous and look at the whole picture
@Emily Bridges Number 2. Not true.
@Emily Bridges Nothing much you say is true actually.
we have three from GRNSW, 2 pups and an adult with flat feet. The end of greyhound racing in NSW will mean the end of the healthiest breed of dog. Indiscriminate breeding for the domestic market will destroy the breed. It's not cruel to race a greyhound, as you can see, they love to run and they love to have a purpose in live as humans do. In the same way a kelpie loves to work for it's owner, a well treated greyhound will love to race. don't ban the industry, track down the cheats and prosecute them.
Emily Bridges who's to say they don't consider racing fun. They naturally with one another, even ones that have never seen a track or been trained to run. Should have seen the ten of them tear arseing around the yard at the gap chrismas party. most of then had never met each other, but all they wanted to do was race against each other. Only a few of them had ever run in a race. Ours certainly haven't, we got them both as pups. The fact is that there a few bad eggs in the industry doesn't mean they are all dodgy. Most of them care about their dogs and treat them really well and treat them like a member of the family. Accidents happen on the track, they happen at the park, they happen in the backyard. We almost had a head on at full tilt in the park the other day, it could have potentially ended in a major operation or even euthanasia. no one made them run, they just run in random directions, sometimes the race ezch other, sometimes they chase each other, sometimes they chase a ball. The way you use the word "Bogan " as a derogatory term shows your ignorance. These "Bogans" you speak of include Judges, police, media personalities, politicians, doctors, lawyers, tradespeople, real estate agents, gays, straight, generations of families, the old and the young
well done and well said matt
i own 9 racers in the uk and could not agree more with u
Matt Barnes With respect, if greys consider racing fun and naturally with one another, etc etc, then why make them do it for the money...? Let the greys run only for fun...! I would love to see how many of those who say to love the breed would have or keep them... It's not about THEM, it's about US and our human greed. By the way, I do not think you are the work you do or who you work for, you are the person you are. Regards.
daniel mango Couldn't agree more. I have witnessed horrible things owners of racers do to those poor animals. Similarly happens in horse racing, they even exploit the horses to the last minute of their lives after they've served them well by selling their meat yo slaughterhouses, and these dogs are cruelly abandoned after after a whole life of cruel abuse. I long for the day human parasitism on animals is definitely over
I think most breeds of dog would chase rabbits wholeheartedly and would kill them if they could catch them. I've seen Kelpies,CattleDogs,Staffies,Foxies,Poodles,Labradors all chase rabbits with great gusto. But greyhounds are by far the fastest that's why they are in racing.
I've been racing greyhounds for over forty years never had a bad injury on the race track when the they are pups they are learned how to chase a lure two or three at a time same when they go to schooling track never gave live bait just good food a vitamin e tablet my dogs big paddocks free to go out when ever they like there no profit in greyhounds 95 percent are in it for the love of greyhounds are never happier when they are chasing that lure
Nicholas Doran 40 years never an injury? 40% pups culled (killed) because they dont chase. Another 40% put down during or after racing. At best racing industry OWN statistics in Australia demonstrate 80% are dead by 3-3.5 years old. So i might believe your story about your few greys or the industry own statistics about the 20,000 born every year in Australia and 80-90% DEAD by 3-3.5. I think i‘ll stay with the stats on the 20,000 and leave your anecdotes to your grandchildren.
no way all greyhounds are micrchipped you cannot put a greyhound to sleep unless he has areal bad injury if your greyhound leaves your kennel have to show paperwork and vets cert to the greyhound board will not be allowed to keep greyhounds ever again who ever gave you that information them to stop using what ever they are on
Nicholas Doran you should read your -own- industry’s statistics. What do you think happens to the dogs on lots in rural Australia with 1,000 dogs? Five of them will be really fast and the rest are cannon fodder. All the “amateur” racers with 10 or fewer dogs are being played, and never have a chance to win big. This is just simple fact in Australia. Live baited and doped. If you are not doing this then you are not competitive. Time to open your eyes mate.
40 years racing greyhounds bred about 10 litters all of them chased the lure I think you no nothing about greyhound racing every dog is graded we have 10 graded races to suit slow to very fast dogs regards doping every dog is tested never used live bait just good food and.a daily rutine to keep them fit your lovely greyhound has more of chance of getting hurt with your garden furniture as a dog racing I live in Ireland know your stats don't add up
@@redcoat4ever Who the fuck has 1000 dogs? You're clueless.
GORGEOUS!
Ha ha! Beautiful dog. Life affirming, thank you.
Truly fun to watch
i have one from spain
Love the dog but that is a terrible name xD
Beautiful!
…what joy…
Greyhounds are sweet, affectionate, and gentle creatures. They deserve a spoiled life as beloved pets, not as machines on the racing track. Good luck on banning hound racing in Australia, we've had some successes in several American cities & states banning this barbaric practice.
Loved this xx
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Saving one being is saving the world.
Look it up in the bible proverbs 30 verse 29 greyhounds are the only dogs mentioned in the bible
Lovely.
So much fun
There is NO live bait!
Love it just love it!!!!!!
Cani meravigliosi devono correrei per divertirsi non essere sfruttati
If the dogs WANTED to race, I would be ok with it.
They don’t. Save them.
The dogs don't have a a say in the matter
Happy noodle!
Awesom
watch them gooo!!!!
Mini Zoomies :)
Lovely dog.
Someone’s a bitter editor
You do realise that when a dog plays with a toy like that it's just recreating what it would do to a rabbit or other small animal?
And?
If that were so, the dog would be tearing chewing the frisbee. Clearly the dog is playing a game with the woman.
Zoooom......ZzzzzzzZZZZZZOOOOOOM........zooooooooooMMMMMMMM........zzzzzzooooooooMMmmmmMmmmm........ etc . How wonderful !!
Is this propaganda or what?
Greyhounds are shit dogs, you can barely even consider them dogs at all
