Yup, we've got one that does exactly that for hours. In fact, when we first got him I googled how much time they spent sleeping as I was becoming concerned that something was wrong. They are really enormous cats: sleep 20 out of 24 hours and race around for 15 mins max a day.
'What?' they say, 'you've got a greyhound?' they say. 'Bet they need a lot of exercising!' they say, 'bet they're hyper energetic!' they say..... Yes. Well. Uhmmm.
And nope :D A lot of people ask this about our whippet. And then I look at the pile of dog currently sleeping on my foot. They also say that these dogs are so elegant. Uhuh. So gracious with contorted back and paws in the air.
I have a Lurcher and a Whippet and people say that to me. Sure they like to go out and zoom about and explore, but then they like to laze about all day and do sod all.
@@janeblogs324I'm pretty sure I've seen you say this on another video of greyhounds. You're just wrong. If the breed was a German Shephard or A Husky and they lazed about all day, then yeah they probably lack stimulation. It's not the case for greyhounds.
Both your greyhounds are well- disciplined,cute ,happy and innocent .Their favourite relaxing place is on your sofa set where they lie one at a time as they are big and also to avoid fight.God bless them.
LOVE IT!!! Did I actually detect a FLEETING moment of STANDING? Only to facilitate the transition from one sleeping position to another! Gorgeous dogs.
When you get a grey you got understand they own the couch and they all day naps to recover from sleeping all night. But classic dead cochroach laying on back with out stretched legs got me i forget how much they love that. Also if you get two they will swap food bowls leaving each other a bite each... Only dogs i know that swap food.
love to watch them 'cockroach' in their sleep, they are so vulnerable in this position. Whether they cockroach in their sleep or awake...they only lay this way when they feel completely safe and happy.
XD 'poor dogs'? greyhounds sleep all day, then go out for 10 minutes, run for a bit and go right back to sleep. Built for speed alright, just only at 5 second increments, then it's bedtime again.
The Roach, the Flagpole, the Beetle, this routine has them all. These dogs could snooze at the Olympic level.
Greyhound owner here. Can confirm, they really do this all day.
I thought I could never have a big dog in a tiny apartment and then I just discovered these beautiful creatures
my brother adopted a Greyhound. I can also confirm this owo
Varietal poses, despite the inherent laziness performed here. Score: 10/10 for greyhound style and authenticity.
Big move there at 0:50 Gonna need rest after such exertion.
In truth one of the most active greyhounds I’ve ever come across

My spirit animal is a greyhound :)

@@AnnekeOosterink same here Anneke. Usually a look of shock when I tell them that he's the laziest bstardo going.
You have a bored dog, just like any teenager without a job/hobby or friends they'll just sleep all day

I'm so happy that those dogs have a good home
Next time I hear "He must run very fast, I bet they need A LOT of exercise" I'm just going to reach for this video
Are you telling me that dogs like to sleep the day away? I have again learned something new ;)
This is outstanding. 13 years later too.
My whippet used to do this, lazy but lively! Best doggo ever

Thats how greys are different to galgos. A lot of them enjoy being stacked on top of each other😂
Happy greyhound! Lovely to see!
The addition of the clock in the back was perfect
Greyhounds are the greytest!💙
Dude be on power saving mode all day
LOVE IT!!! Did I actually detect a FLEETING moment of STANDING? Only to facilitate the transition from one sleeping position to another! Gorgeous dogs.
Have also had an Italian Greyhound, Whippet, and Ibizan Hound, and I can confirm that that whole family does this
I'm pretty sure I was a greyhound in another life...and it's so great getting in those weird sleeping positions that are incredibly comfortable!

The light brindle one is hilarious!
I feel like potatoes just got robbed of their title... from now on the lazy person stuck on a couch will be know as a couch greyhound 🐕🐕🐕
45 mph couch potato
Absolutely brilliant ! Love it - thank you.
ahahaha, as greyhound owner I was laughing during the whole video :)
This video made me very happy. Thank you!
Sweet! 🧡
That is just like my grey Presley!
Love it!! Couch potatoe at its best!
Note: The couch routine is readily replicated on a king-size bed, too.
Superb stuff!
Idk if its because im high or if this video really is funny but I loved it hahahaha
They've earned it.
Fantastic!
love it!
0:22 sec is the highlight of the video
Great fun!
super cute
I liked that he mysteriously changed color at 0:21
Very accurate.
Pretty accurate. I need to do this with my grey. She's so effing lazy.
I own an Italian greyhound and he does the same, too😂
Can confirm. Compared to the grey I had, this one is unusually active.
THAT was funny!
that's a hoot!
45 mph coach potato, doin the couch potato part
Wow what's that in dog yrs I reckon he's just slept for 49hr. What a life.
And family members tells us Greyhounds need to run! no, he sleeps all day, in fact if I walk him more than usual he just f=drags me home!
rooting. I love greyts
Let your hound fill up at the station - oh wait this is the dog 🐶 kind lol good excellent
*Legends say they still sleeping*
"...snore...let me see, horizontal...snore..hoRizontal...snore, move...Horizontal..paws up...horizonTal..." priceless
They say that greyhounds sleep 18-20 hours a day... Is that true?
Yep
Yep, mine does.
They aren’t asleep for that much time but they certainly lay around that much XD
More like 22-23 hours a day
23 hours
We have a greyhound to cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute
Why was I summoned here
My question, too.
Ironic how such a lazy relaxed breed is also the world's fastest breed.
This is why they got the nickname...40 mph couch potatoes
Brilliant, and they say 'It's a dog's life' not all bad is it?
You realize it's exhausting on a doggie ... waiting for you to come home.
That's a lot of snoozing :)
Yup. My whippet did all of those
_long boi_
Yep they sure like their sleep.
Lol, couch potaaaatooooooo!
wut an xzosting 7 hr workday!
love to watch them 'cockroach' in their sleep, they are so vulnerable in this position. Whether they cockroach in their sleep or awake...they only lay this way when they feel completely safe and happy.
I wanna be a greyhound!
My Lurchers, the same.
If you think Bulldogs are lazy 😂

Has anyone ever seen a greyhound puppy!?

Somebody needs a bigger couch.

45 Mph Couch Potatoes
Who are the 12 people who didn’t like this?!
This is a 13 yr old post!
Dogs need nature and smells for stimulation. Or else they will sleep for more than the majority of the day.
Lol
i love 0:23
lol it's almost like the greyhound capsized
Xml, perl, java books hahah
is your dog alone for the whole day, shouldn't someone let him pee inbetween??
Don't these poor dogs ever get to go out and run?
XD 'poor dogs'? greyhounds sleep all day, then go out for 10 minutes, run for a bit and go right back to sleep. Built for speed alright, just only at 5 second increments, then it's bedtime again.
That is next level napping 👍🏼
