- I did take fresh water for her which she was offered frequently after running. I took Fairy to Harlech beach for her first time on a beach and first time off the lead! I was worried incase she disappeared and didn’t come back but she was amazingly well behaved and came back to me every time. The beach was very secure with a fence behind the sand dunes and a metal gate out to the car park and road.

Thanks for all your lovely comments. If you enjoyed this video why not watch her other beach video “Back by popular demand…Fairy the Greyhound runs 40mph on Cornish beaches” available to view on her channel page. Thank you to all who have liked and subscribed we really appreciate it. I am happy that Fairy is bringing pleasure to so many people ❤
My middle daughter and her husband have been taking in ex Greyhound racers for about 20 years, but I think that this is the last batch of dogs for them as they want to start traveling around.
Please have alook on line at GAP Victoria or GRV and you can see the effort that is being made to find homes for the pups who can’t run as fast as someone would of liked or Finishing or Finished there Racing Carers ! You can also look under greyhound rescue for other re homing outlets we have but please look at GAP VICTORIA ! ❤️
Use a whistle to do a call back....save your voice. ALWAYS KEEP A WHISTLE ON YOU
She is wonderful, love from 🇦🇺

How beautiful to see an ex racing dog just enjoying life for life's sake, and using her incredible gift of speed on her own terms . You are so lucky to have a gorgeous greyhound. And shes lucky to have you.
Sickly sweet 🤮
@@Michael020 well that was a waste of energy and time,wasn't it
...you seem to know what your dog loves too ...off leash is a huge trust issue as dogs love to run ...
@@Michael020neither sickly or sweet. It's about an ex racing Greyhound running full speed on a beach. I fail to see what was sickly or Sweet about any of this. But then, there are Trolls everywhere. 😡🤮
@@itstuff4744 Sorry, I couldn't translate your French comment. 🥴
There is nothing on this planet as pure as a dog running flat out for no other reason than their expression of joy. 😊
@@iridium8341 She was indeed squeaking.
Delightful, isn’t it?
Just watching my Dobermans run all out is breathtaking.
couldnt agree more they are awesome dogs.
Great comment
Greyhounds don't get enough credit. They are truly one of mother natures most incredible species. Absolute units.
They are man made, nature had very little to do with it. We did a damn good job. Lovely dog and clearly a conscientious respectful owner, I had a Greyhound myself that was a retired racing dog, sadly it had separation anxiety and would cry every time I left the house without him. Greyhounds are fantastic companions but require far more of the owner than most pets do.
@@alistairbolden6340 A damn fine job. It's a dog bui for one purpose and one purpose alone - to run very fast after something else very fast, and to catch it. But - all they are, are just genetics we selected for that puppies were born expressing. And with those came a dog that is also a wonderful companion. But like all working dogs - and these very much are born to a job - to expect a lot of them demands a lot of their owners. Wonderful, wonderful dogs in the rights hands though. And they'll give their world right back.
When I was a child we adopted a retired brindle greyhound. We took her to the beach every Sunday for the afternoon, family day at the beach ( not this beautiful ocean just a river, but there was land and she could really get her speed up.) She would run like she was reliving her glory days. Running in circles, just happy to be free. She dug holes, in a shady spot of our back yard, but she would circle them three times then tuck herself the smallest size. That was back in the 1970s. She lived to the age of 17, Thanks for reminding me how awesome friend Sheila (a.k.a Peas & Rice) was.
Back in '93 my wife & I adopted a black greyhound we named Commander! He was only 2 when we got him because he wasn't fast enough for racing!! We had an acre of flat back yard. Every morning he would eat his breakfast go outside & poop & pee and run around the yard like a jack rabbit! He was beautiful to watch! Next door was a women & she had a horse she used to work with in her corral & would run the horse around it & Commander would run with her every time! She had her running partner right next door! He lived to 13 which was pretty good! We still miss him & his best friend Chloe our standard Poodle. She was the brains & he was the dim-witted side kick!!
Now she can win every race🎉🎉🎉🎉
No one can watch this without "feeling" her pure joy and excitement ... You can literally see her thinking about how the sand feels and just how fast she might be able to go on it!
So true! So joyous!
I was smiling the whole time. 😊
Totally, you can see the pauses at the start where she's looking an thinking "I can go so fast here,..."
That's the gift of empathy. It not just about sympathy for people in dire straits, it's about sharing others' feelings good or bad.
Greyhounds have “zoomies” on an entirely different level! Thanks for sharing.
They are bred for racing
Their zoomies are incredible
I loved how she brought forth thousands of years of knowledge... to dig a hole in the sand to find a cooler place to rest in... just as her Egyptian ancestors would have done. Just like my old rescue dog digs a hole in the comforter at night before snuggling in behind my wife's legs. Thanks for giving this lovely girl a new life!
There's no feeling like the first time you let your greyhound off the lead, and then when they actually come back!
If your dog does not come back its because you are not a good person.
That was so lovely watching her run free and play on the beach. She is so fast.
She’s an amazing dog 😍
They have beautiful natures!
Do you have a collapsible water dish that you can bring with you? I knew she'd get thirsty running so much and seeing her drink so much sea water wasn't good.
@@samsmom1491 I thought about that too. I figured out pretty quickly to always bring water and a bowl with me for my dog on our long beach walks. The first time I took her to the beach I hadn't thought about it in advance. When we got to a river flowing into the ocean, she waded in panting from running and drank like a fiend. I'd heard that fresh water flows on top of salt water when they meet, so I hoped for the best. But on the way home in the car, she produced an enormous sea-water barf. That was the last time I took her to the beach without drinking water in my daypack.
So much pure JOY! Fairy is gorgeous and clearly luxuriating in her post retirement life with you. 💕🐾💕
A friend described their Greyhound as a 40 Mile Per Hour Couch Potato ! She has a beautiful life now.....Thank you for giving it to her. ❤
So do true
"a 40 Mile Per Hour Couch Potato..."

lol
What a beautiful dog , amazing 🤩
It was heartwarming to see her run free along the beach. She is shaped like a projectile and runs as if shot from of a cannon. Her breed really benefits from large open spaces. I love how her eyes were shining with joy. I bet she had a good sleep when that day ended.
This video could replace any anti-anxiety meds - it’s so beautiful and relaxing to watch. Absolute joy and freedom - God bless Fairy and her sweet family for giving her this gift of a whole new life.
Absolutely!
What a sweetheart she is and you for just letting her be herself and off leash. She is soooo
happy.
SEEING THE FREEDOM YOU HAVE GIVEN HER BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES. WHAT A JOY TO HAVE FOUND THIS VIDEO.
This video of Fairy the Greyhound running on the beach is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is gorgeous, and it’s so nice to see this dog getting to experience the sand and the water for the first time. Plus, Fairy is gorgeous herself. I’m so glad to see her so happy and well-behaved on this adventure.
Dear god, heart-stopping moments, I've been there, got the- T-shirt, nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog released for the first time- coming back !!!
A great dog
I bet she was running faster than any of her times in her racing career. She looks so happy to be free to live the life she deserves😊
One of the happiest (maybe the most) greyhounds I've seen. She is so clearly loved, well cared for, and happy. The bouncing when she first got there. 🤣😂
He’s just digging the heck out of that beach!
…Her color, clean teeth, and her amazing eyes, she is just gorgeous running her happy big laps around the beach. I love when she dug her hole to lie in. Thank you for filming your happy and loved dog. 💙 🐕💙🐾
The SHEER JOY she had exploring the beach. Running free because she wanted to not because she had to. Loved seeing her love it ! ❤
Will make me smile ALL day. Thank you.
Her smile after running, and especially after digging her nest, was perfect! She so deserves this freedom to enjoy life. ❤
You only see true joy like this in dogs and babies. I was smiling ear to ear watching her. Best. Day. Ever!
Smiling ear to ear? Like you were feeling joy?
Me too!
@@lovemesomeslippers "ear to ear smile" that's a creepy smile
And Down’s syndrome persons!❤❤❤
@@lovemesomeslippers No need to be nasty to someone being happy and not hurting you.
She has the prettiest eyes and the sweetest smile.
Watching her run free was amazing and I got goosebumps. A very majestic girl.
My arthritic old golden did this on a Southern California beach and he was in heaven. So heartwarming to see his pure joy.
I teared up on this one. The love for that dog is obvious. She was set free to explore her nature. Wonderful video.
I teared up too. So moving.
Glad she has a Mom like you. Fantastic to see her joyful running and playing.
We rescued an 8-month Doberman girl 6 years ago from a man with learning difficulties. Our new Doberman was as skinny as a greyhound. She could run as fast as a greyhound and she was being fed greyhound protein food, oddly ... This Doberman is the most gentle and loveable girl. Having watched your video, and the gentleness and gracefulness of your beautiful Fairy, only now do I realise. This man who owned her before probably socialised and raced her with greyhounds, and she has adopted their gentle persona. Your video made my heart flutter. Thank you for your beautiful video. Freedom is a great thing, and your Fairy absolutely loved that run on the beach, evidently. Beautiful dog. Thank you. Much Love from Scotland, ❤❤ XX ...
I’m pleased you enjoyed it and your dog sounds lovely 🥰
Man, what joy watching this. An x racer, in total FREEDOM!!! wow. Even the digging, an laying in the hole, splashing in the water, running over and over again, the way God made her to run. This was so heart warming I could hardly stand it. Then wrapped warmly, smelling good food, and having a great meal. God bless you for all you've done for this pup!!!!! WELL DONE, WELL DONE.
Makes me happy to watch her run. Relieved to know she’ s so solid on recalls.
It's beautiful seeing them run free and just be dogs. You see the dog they've always meant to be.
which hardly makes up for all the times they are prisoners of their master's selfishness, running little and rarely...
Thank You kind soul for the joy you have given this beautiful being and to all of us.
Pure joy! What a beauty....her color and those eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your Fairy's beach adventure. Love watching a greyhound run free!! ♥
Absolute magic! Thank you for letting me watch Fairy doing her thing!
I truly miss all five Grey's we've had over the years! Each was a goof in their own right...
Fairy's footprints in the sand when she's at full stride must be impressive!
Yea that would be amazing to see - “why are these footprints so far apart Daddy?”
A fully-fit greyhound sprinting in a straight line can reach speeds of over 40mph.
@@TheRealPureBlood incredible!
Watching this i couldn't stop smiling. Love greyhounds.
I don't think that there is anything as beautiful as a greyhound running free and at her own pace on a lovely stretch of beach makes my heart melt every time😁😁😁
This is timeless. She is a beautiful dog with beautiful love from her family. This is how dogs should be. Happy and loved.Thank you.
We took my friend's greyhound to the beach at Bamburgh years ago. She was so excited she took off and was out of sight in a few seconds. Her first time there, we didn't know if she'd return. But she did. Always bring water for your dog, by the way.
I totally agree on the water aspect. I always have to bring water for my dog while at the ocean beaches. He will drink salt water otherwise. And ocean water will make them sick if they have too much. And tbh, I was starting to get worried about this fella with the amount she drank.
Need to keep them filled with water to the point they won't look at the salt water other than to splash around in. The collapsible bowls along with a bottle works wonders.
@@911axe Rule of thumb: If you need to carry a water bottle for yourself, your dog needs one, too.
I did have her dog water bottle with me and she was offered water regularly 👍

Nothing more beautiful than seeing a greyhound running full flight on a beautiful beach like this! I don't have anywhere to take my greyhounds to run other than a dog park, which I don't like as they're usually crowded with other dogs and many who misbehave and start fights. Thank you for posting this lovely video. Your gorgeous dog was having the time of her life!!!
What a beautiful looking dog!! Fast as lightning, all power and muscles, i could watch her all day! Thanks!!
What a beautiful animal. Seeing something like a greyhound running at full gallop is like art. Majesty in motion. I had an Italian Greyhound and when he ran on the beach it was like poetry in motion. Those animals were born to run.
How wonderful to watch this precious girl having THE best time -- Greyhounds are great !!💓
OH my goodness, this is REALLY spectacular. Your baby is a dancing marvel and so happy that you shared this terrific and joyful time. Those circles, that is the orbit she maintains to keep you in her sights.
When I was 18 I had a red Irish setter named Koosh. I often took him to a beach near Adelaide. One time he got so excited that he flew out the car window before I could park it and he was gone. Down the beach chasing seagulls, so intent that he ignored me even though he was the best trained dog I have ever had. I walked, jogged down that beach for about three kilometres to catch him. There he was trotting back to me through a crowed of families with a seagull in his mouth. the bird was screaming his tail was wagging and he came straight to me and sat at my side as trained. I asked him to give and he dropped the seagull at my feet. It shook itself and just flew away, he was so happy that he had finally got one and I was happy to put him into my car and go home.
She’s a beautiful blue! The most spectacular colour!
She’s a real beauty.
Heartwarming to see a greyhound having so much fun. Bless you, for making it happen!
We have a rescue greyhoind named Bonnie. We take her to our local beach and she loves being able to run free. There is nothing as joyous as watching a Greyhound in full flight.
10 mins of that and shes knackered and wants to sleep for 6 hours 😄
I had a mongrel with greyhound characteristics. He could run for 3 hours a day in our woods and wasn't winded. If he didn't get his long run, he literally shook on our couch which he claimed as his drop and flop. What a dog. Those large lungs and long legs so much remind me of Bobo.
Nothing makes me smile quite as much as watching a greyhound on a first visit to a huge sandy beach where they can run to their heart's content. Their sheer joy is almost tangible. When we let our grey off for the first time on a beach in Lincolnshire he was beside himself with excitement and we worried whether he'd come back but he just ran round in huge circles, splashing through the water - wonderful memories! Thank you for posting.
When I take my whippets to the beach for a romp, they snooze for a week! It doesn’t take much to wear out a sprinter! So wonderful for her to be able to play and dig on her own terms!❤
She looks SO happy and excited. !!! ❤❤😊 Such a pleasure to see this !!🎉
I love that you give her that total, secure freedom. I could almost feel her excitement.😊
Oh how I love this! She’s absolutely gorgeous and her excitement just keeps building. Takes me back 40 years remembering our rescued Greyhound and how she loved to run flat out. She also loved all the schoolchildren when we’d walk our daughter home from school. Wonderful dogs!
This made me smile. Her happy jumps brought tears to my eyes. So lovely to see her having fun.
Such a joy to see her run! I bet she slept well that night! 🤣
She runs like a cheetah. She was made for it! She’ll always come back. Let her let loose sometimes! It brings me joy to watch this. Thanks for sharing!❤
Look at her strutting around the beach like shes the fastest dog there. oh wait... she is!! sooooooo cute. I love when she dug a hole and sat in it. love dogs.
My ex had such a dog and she let him out on a bicycle. 30 miles per hour to the next village, drink a bit, and then 30 miles an hour back. She did not have to spend one bit of energy. The dog did all the work. In total I think it must have been 10 miles of running for the dog. He loved it.
Greyhound doing what they like to do the most. Running like the wind and loving it.
I love watching a big dog run! Love her color and eyes! I never doubted she would come back! I think she circled to stay near you, not her racing career.
I remember the combined thrill and absolute terror of watching my two Borzois running the first time I let them loose in my horse pasture. I relived that watching Fairy fly. I was pretty sure the fencing was secure enough to keep my dogs in, but seeing how fast they were, I knew if they got out, they could be gone miles away in minutes. But gods, sight hounds are beautiful when they run! Fairy had such a great time. She's such a happy dog. 💙
If a dog feels loved, cared for, and able to do their "job," they'll always come back. Fairy was bred to run, so running is her job. Great to see you letting her "do her thing." She looks happy. Good job!
She makes the beach look very small indeed. What a wonderful day for her and hope you both have many more.
A wonderful sight! Running free, enjoying the wind, the sea, the smells, digging, splashing loving life to the full❤
You can see the joy in every single step.
I still miss mine. They are the sweetest, smartest dog and the most abused.
Oh my goodness, that face! ❤ I love her face when she's holding her ears way back and those big round eyes. So darn cute!
This brought so much joy to me seeing that beautiful animal just running & being a dog. She seemed so happy. Beautiful to watch!!!
So many misguided dog parents try to train just being a dog out of their dog(s), which I think is a form of animal cruelty. This is a whole video of just letting a dog be her beautiful self and I salute you for it!
Beautiful dog!!! I can’t stop smiling❤️
She's living her best life now.....free to run and play.....enjoy every moment with her ❤❤
I used to volunteer at a shelter walking the dogs. The lurchers and greyhounds were the sweetest, most affectionate guys and girls but I couldn't let them off the lead. It's very satisfying seeing one being able to run free.
How wonderful it was to see Fairy enjoying the beach! Her true happiness was contagious!❤
She looks like she is finally having a awesome day doing what she was bred for, but no stress as to meet any expectations from anyone.
Invigorating to see dogs running free by the sea. Wonderful
Gorgeous dog. Obviously having the time of her life.
You are such a good puppy Mom, you can just see how she loves you. She will come back to her Mom. Rescues always know who their people are! Look at her run! Thank you for giving her a new special life. This is so good for her to run like the wind ❤❤❤❤
PS. She LOVES the beach!!
Did you bring water for her?
That is one happy, happy excited little girl. I am so pleased to have shared that moment with you and her. She looked like she couldn’t believe how lucky she was! She is so beautiful as well
She’s MAGNIFICENT!
She's so sweet! People often asked me how I managed to teach my grey boy such good recall and truth is I didn't. He just loves being close to his pack, his retriever brother and people. We rescued him as a puppy and he still likes running in very similar circles, I think it's because they've such a long stride they need a big curve to change direction at top speed.
I'm loving seeing the pup having such a good time. Free to run and dig, than a warm coat and a slap up breakfast for all concerned.
So fun to watch. The next time you go to that beach be sure to bring a gallon of fresh water and a bowl.
The joy on that dogs face spilled out of my screen uplifting my day.Brilliant
What an exhilarating feeling she has for such an expanse of a place to run free. Beautiful greyhound, beach, no crowds. Perfect!
Thank you so much for sharing… I am a 24 hour caregiver and watching that beautiful dog run free was so uplifting. Her excitement and freedom gave me just a few moments of freedom myself. I can’t put into words the hope for my own freedom it inspired, thank you.
I do hope you brought water along for her to drink, all that running she will need fresh water…
❤️
I have often seen dogs, large and small, on beaches, and they always let loose in joy. But this is an entirely new level how exciting to see her let loose and run at full speed. It’s an impressive sight indeed Beaches were made for children and dogs to abandon restraint and enjoy life with sand in their toes and the smell of the salty air in their noses. And here is a wonderful video of a high energy dog making full use of that. Thank you for sharing this event with us. I hope you’ll share many more!
Awesome. Her breed, and most dog breeds, love to run! It’s so much better when they can do it when they choose! She needs fresh water after that. I’m sure you gave it to her. Let her do it. She will always come back. Her territory for running will be much bigger than most dogs. Let her run! Play with her. Don’t worry so much. When she digs, dig with her! Run with her! She will love you more and both of you will be closer!
What an amazing day for her, sooo glad you have such a great video on YT you can come back to time and time again.
A couple of thoughts after having watched this: at the same time, greyhounds are the high-performance sports cars _and_ the sleek super models of the canine world. They're such beautiful creatures. Then, watching Fairy running flat-out there on Harlech beach may be the best demonstration I've ever seen of the concept of "joie de vivre". Thank you for sharing!
Wow!!!! She is absolutely having a ball. Very cute. She sure figured out how to get cooled down quickly by digging a hole.
ahhh Thx .. great fun ‘n freedom well cared for beautiful girl but maybe should have fresh water on beach ,)
The one dog I ever had - a mongrel - we once took with us to the Ayrshire beach at Culzean. He met a red setter there and they just had the time of their lives, racing round and round. At one point our dog leapt over a low wall, not realising there was a 3 metre drop on the other side to a burn. He emerged unscathed. Such a day!
How glorious to see her run in freedom and with joy! It made my heart happy to watch your beautiful girl.
Greyhounds are pure joy inside and out, so very grateful she's free & with you! 😍🙏💞
Sense of freedom is so important to all spices, just to feel free and happy thank you for given Fairy to feel what it means to be free and just happy!!
I watched this last year, but just had to watch it again to see how free she felt! loving the water, loving the dig to lay down in, and running like a true champ. Any time you say beach to her, she'll be getting so excited!
She is lucky to have you and you are lucky to have her. To see Fairy running WFO across the beach was absolutely beautiful, poetry in motion.
We rescue Greyhounds. They are the sweetest dogs ever. Brilliant with children and the elderly because they are SO laid back! Wonderful to see this beautiful grey girl running for sheer pleasure. ❤
That was so amazing watching her run. They sure are made for it, aren't they? And most of all I really love seeing that she is in the hands of someone who truly seems to care and love this dog. Beautiful. This actual made me tear up a bit.
She is not only gorgeous but equally adorable. Very lucky to have you as parents.
