    We're are adopting a retired greyhound tomorrow. Bruce formally known as broadway bruce is almost 5 years old ( his birthday is in less than 3 weeks) Originally from Ireland who then raced all over the UK before he retired due to injury a few months ago and ended up in a greyhound rescue. We've been looking to adopt for months but never thought of a greyhound till friends suggested a local rescue. So we looked online and one chap caught our eye because the name Bruce is something we all call each other at home. We went to visit the next day and took several dogs out for a walk we took Bruce out several times. He was so calm and chilled and very loving. Never once did he make a sound. When we had to return him and hand him over he stopped turned around and began to cry while trying to pull towards us. Well we burst into tears ... we realised we just couldn't leave him. We then went to the manager to discuss adoption. A home check later several visits .. and tomorrow he will meet our children and all been well he will be coming home with us to begin his new life in his forever home. I'm so excited to bring our special boy home and love him in conditionally x

      Here in the USA most Greyhound adoption places do a background check before letting someone adopt. They want to know that you are a responsible pet owner. We lost Flying Carl in 2011 to terminal cancer, and we still mourn his loss. He was just shy of 14 years old, so we had his love for nearly 12 years. He turned 2 years old right after we adopted him. He raced at a track in Wisconsin until it closed.

Just like humans when we get sick, we don't want to Die right then! At least not untill we lose our love for life cuz its just not livable\ bearable\ painful\ etc. Hope my comment makes sense?

    I notice when I walk on the trails at the local park that I have never seen a greyhound that tries to pull on the leash. Often, at the park, the most well behaved dogs on the trails are always the greyhounds.

    I've researched dog breeds and behavior since I was about 8 years old, but I actually met a Greyhound for the first time last week at a large pet adoption event. Greyhounds were never my favorite breed, but I totally fell in love with the Greyhounds that I met there. Now, I'm considering adopting a retired racing Greyhound within the next few months!

      We adopted a greyhound 3 weeks ago and they are the best dogs in the world you will not regret it. They are over 8000 years old and originate from Egypt. The pharoes worshipped them. Because they are one of the original dogs the majority of dog breeds were bred from them, this means greyhounds have very few health problems as they are a true pure breed. Our dog is so calm and placid and you will fall in love with them!

You wont regret it and may even want to rescue another one as many people do as they are low maintainence and great company for each other especially with any anxiety issues in being left alone for too long. I have an Irish Greyhoud, Fergus (see photo inset) I wouldn't have another breed of Dog now - Greyhounds are THE BEST! wishing you many happy years with Magnus. Love from Kinross.

      @catherinelynnfraser2001 Před 5 lety +2

      jose amram I think it is a bit of a two edged sword. Greys are very healthy and hardy for a tall breed. They have been ruthlessly bred for a racing career. They are docile, tough and tender. They are used to vet checks, many handlers, grooming, and travelling. Their noble nature shines through.
      I think the industry is cruel at times but a total ban can be very catastrophic. Instead of moving into an adoption or breeding situation, the dogs are suddenly run to the ground or euthanized. Adoption programs have no dogs going forward and this magnificent breed becomes marginalized.
      It is a bit of problem when a dog’s purpose disappears. I really don’t think any breed does well if it is relegated to the show ring or pet status. JMHO

      @@catherinelynnfraser2001 I agree and I think it could be detrimental to stop greyhound racing all together. I believe they do love to race, and not all people involved in it abuse their dogs. If the sport was improved to be safer and inhumane, that might be better. The breed is so well preserved because of the sport, it seems.

    We adopted a racing Greyhound several years ago. He is gone now because of terminal Cancer. His name was Flying Carl, and we just called him Carl. We've had several dogs in our lifetime, but our Greyhound was the best. I know you'll enjoy sharing life with your Greyt. For a while we wintered in Florida, and most gated communities have a size restriction on dogs, so we adopted a small dog after Carl passed on. I don't know about where you live, but here in the USA racing Greyhounds were mistreated by breeders. I will not buy a dog from a breeder, but rather adopt and possibly save the life of a good dog. People are missing out because the Greyhound is very loving, hardly ever bark, and very laid back. Greyt's are not a breed that you'd want for a watch dog, as they would welcome anyone entering your home (LOL). Since we don't winter in Florida, we have been considering adopting another Greyt. Enjoy your Greyt dog, because they are great.

    Many states in "the states" are closing the racing industry for greyhounds effective at the end of 2020. My hope is that all retired racers go to amazing homes, such as yours. Magnus seems to be an amazing young man and I am so thrilled your family had the opportunity to adopt him and give him a wonderful post-racing life. Greyhounds are wonderful family members!Sal (Bella Salvo) came home to me at age 2 - he and the track didn't mix so well. I think he was more into the human affection side of things versus the racing - lucky him! All of his littermates raced and (I checked!) were all adopted in their retirement. I cannot say enough about Greyhounds as family members. Sal loves car rides, tasty bits of cheeses, neck rubs, lazing about the house in sunny or comfy spots... Sal has a wonderful disposition. He's sweet, goofy, skippy and can be cheeky if he needs attention (attacking my slippers when I am sleeping in or taking too long in the bath).Yes, potential adopters, you need a greyhound in your life!

    Your leash technique at the beginning (around the 5 minute mark) is really interesting! Did you find that this leash placement was helpful for training him not to pull? I would love to know more about that!

    • @magnusgreyhound
      @magnusgreyhound  Před 6 lety +1

      the lead is doubled over as this gives more control if the dog pulls on the lead. Magnus would do this at first when we met him. after a couple of walks at the kennels he settled down and we could give him the full lead.

    Imagine finding a 3 year old Ferrari on a used car lot for $20k. That's about the same thing as adopting a greyhound. You don't 'rescue' them, you get a good deal on the perfect dog.

    I want a Greyhound or Galgo too in the near future, such lovely dogs. Magnus suits him well.
    I do have one question: why do some dogs have muscles on why walking?

    • @magnusgreyhound
      @magnusgreyhound  Před 6 lety +4

      Some greyhounds wear muzzles as they are recently rehomed (from being racing dogs) and they may still a desire to chase things such as cats and squirrels. etc. Magnus wore a muzzle for his first week when we brought him home until we felt comfortable that he did not need it. he has not worn it since.

    Remember don't let your greyhound chase cars in suburban streets. With the speed limits they can catch the cars and they have no idea what to do with them.

    I don't understand why people see their dog panting and do Nothing to aliveate their pets discomfort ??

    • @magnusgreyhound
      @magnusgreyhound  Před 2 lety +1

      We do our best to make sure our pups are comfortable. Greyhounds do not have sweat glands and will pant to cool themselves down. If our pups are getting too hot in the house we will open a window for them to cool off. Greyhounds also sometimes pant if they are stressed. Our Greyhound Scout is scared of thunder and fireworks and will pant if she is stressed. We will do all we can to make her comfortable in these occasions. Thanks for your concern.

    • @magnusgreyhound
      @magnusgreyhound  Před 5 lety

      Magnus is fairly settled into his routine now. but he did whimper and whine when we were first dealing with his separation anxiety. we eventually figured out what worked for Magnus for him to feel relaxed in our absence

  • @kuldeepsinghchopra6822

    Please sir

  • @AmandaHoranGoBookYourself

    Does he shed much?

    • @magnusgreyhound
      @magnusgreyhound  Před 5 lety

      He does not shed much. a couple of times a year. we have a shedding blade which will take out most of the loose hair. so we will use it when we see that he is starting to shed.
