It's incredible watching these dogs run and sprint, even walk. They have such beautiful grace and it's amazing how they're literally sailing throughout the air when they run, especially when they clock their top speed at 45 MPH.
They are also some of the nicest and most derpy dogs on the planet
Number 3 looks like one of my girls. We turned her loose in a field where she flushed out a rabbit and ran it down. Bunny hunkered down waiting to die. Our dog never had caught a bunny before. She just stared at it in confusion. Bun-bun hopped off slowly. Greyhounds are the product of 5,000 years of breeding. They are pursuit hunters. All of my hounds love people. Racing does not automatically equal cruelty.
It's almost as if their back legs never touch the ground. Truly graceful.
There's just something so magical and majestic about greyhounds running. Love this footage.
Brilliant video - our grey, Molly, still loves to run run run
Soooo beautiful! Greyhounds are so graceful when they run! I really want to adopt a retired racing greyhound
Better get busy.
I can totally appreciate that. I've had my grey for about a year and half now, and at first didn't really like they way they looked either. I now have a lot appreciation for their uniqueness and elegance, and I've got say...I've never had a dog that gets so much attention when he's out in public.
Could you imagine being hunted by a pack of these? 😳
HECK NO
My wonderful retired greyhound would catch me in a second then lean on me, they are the most gentle souls. Support greyhound rescue charities if you care ❤️
@@nataliemaclean9458 you are so right, I have a rescue greyhound and they are truly beautiful and gentle giants.
You'd probably get the cuddling of a life time. Unless you're a prey animal than you are whatever the hound decides you will be.
@@nataliemaclean9458 yes my Greyhound is the same she would run and catch me in the yard.and won't leave until she got her pat she just stops right in front of me she is dark Brown at night you can't see her if you go in the yard she would sneek up to you and stop in front of you like somebody put a tree stump in front of you.lovely dogs
A greyhound has no undercoat and their skin is as thin as ours. A stray tooth or nipping as dogs like to do when excited can tear their thin skin. Once retired, it's common to see a group of them muzzled to play.
They are actually very gentle, friendly, happy dogs... and once they retired, they are generally of the age that they are "laid back", tho they do get bursts of energy throughout the day (aka zoomies) where they will run around and play like a puppy... then sack back out sleeping.
Beautiful. One of my fave breeds.
Absolutely beautiful! I keep watching it over and over.
A vision of grace and power.
I think No. 2 is the cutest thing i've seen today :)
They are magnificent additions to any family. Please adopt one.
My dads best mate used to work with trainers in Ireland and he said that he had to quit. He told me that when he started out, it was small-scale and ex-racers would be kept in the trainers family. But he said that now it's too commercialised and greyhounds just come off a production line. I don't know much about greyhound racing because its more for older people and I don't know anyone my age (20's) that's into it. But I trust his opinion because he's actually worked in it.
I can't believe the front legs/wrist bend like that (end footage). So thats what that extra pads for. I've two Retired Greyhounds. And had one before. They make brilliant pets. You need to give them time to settle in. Some, like my most recent one is still settling in after 2 years. He's now muzzle free and off lead where there's no cats. But some like my friends Grey only took a few weeks to settle in. I did know mine was going to be difficult, and its so rewarding seeing him change and grow
Wonderful creatures
All of them are beautiful
!
Yeah but they get killed when they run too slow
So are you implying that is okay?
I love this video, couse I have my own black Soffie as runner. Sorry my english, i´m from denmark...Love greyhound! And love yor video!
I work as a greyhound catcher and the place I work at there is a rule where no dog is to be put down... unless it is better for them like a broken neck... I have a retired racer and he’s beautiful he’s white, big, and gentle he was a great runner winning $46,000 over 18 months!!! His race name Fantastic Hulk and his sure was Black Magic Opal his Dan was Fantastic Barb!!!
thank goodness for so many greyhound adoptions organisations around the world
they make fantastic pets, I have a retired racer myself
what a beautiful dog ..
ive had 2 greyhounds for years now,great pets very intelegent and very very very loyal.both ex racers that we love very much and would recomend them to any one as a pet.
this is beautiul video i have a retired greyhound at home called bruce he is brown and he is 1 and a half years old his birthday is on christmas eve i love him so much
They are so beautiful.
I adopted a black greyhound named Karri and it’s the best decision♥️♥️
Greyhounds love a good race. While there are some owners that mistreat their dogs, the vast majority of licensed owners take excellent care of them for obvious reasons. If a dog is ill, malnourished or just in general bad shape, it won't win any races.
that was awesome!!! i have a greyhound myself..so that was pretty sweet!!!!
my friend just adopted an off the track race dog, his name is Ronnie and he loves to go to the park! he is the sweetist thing in the world!
Best dogs in the world
0:43 The dog's nose jiggles funny lol
I ran out of characters in the last post, but i'd just like to add that he did say all the trainers he worked with were good people. But I think it would be better if they didnt breed so many, because then trainers could look after the dogs in retirement and there wouldn't be soooo many greyhounds in rescue centres!
Great video showing the speed, grace and amazing athleticism of this wonderful animal. Let me also say that the vast majority of greyhounds are treated well and loved by their owners and trainers. Can dsullivan52266 accept the fact that there are bad people in every sport but all of us genuine racing enthusiasts treat our dogs with love and care, we know that the greyhound is special and such a genuine and lovable dog breed.
AMAZING images! Thanks for posting.
i like how their noses wobble lol
All I can say is WOW! Such gorgeous athletes.
Glorious video! Very well done!
I don't care what your stance on dog racing is, these are the most beautiful animals on the planet.
I would argue that Saluki are more beautiful, but all sighthounds are breathtaking.
Great shot, great editing, great background music, great video!
Damn this is amazing!
This is so epic+
I pressed the wrong one I meant to press the like one. They are truly beautiful .i will go to the retired greyhound and gat one.
I love their wiggly noses.
their noses only wiggle...lame ass...because of terrible strength and speed! nothing a female would understand!
dirtdobber blue My Greyhound as a wiggly nose, he bends it up against his cushions, looks very funny.
I wouldn't expect a troll to understand though.
Jan Hald your right a troll wouldnt.I run coyotes with my grey's,three are retired racers i adopted...the rest we bought and payed for...and they run and fight like bloody fucking murder
dirtdobber blue I have a retired racing hound which I adopted, and a pig dog hunter and a labrador retriever.
We don't have trolls in our household. Lucky you. LOL.
My dogs don't fight because I'm the boss, not a troll like you :)
dirtdobber blue Ahh thanks, they're my best buddies :)
Amazing!
amazing video
masterpiece
Those dogs are having the time of their lives 😂
Dogs are so amazing! ❤️
Beautiful
oh. my. god. Such beautiful creatures! Slow motion gives their running big credit as it is impossible to see how beautiful their motions are in realtime. I'm thinking of getting one to companion my Chinese Cresteds :D
Id love to find an ethical dog track business, one with owners who sign up there dogs, no killing. It is fun to watch and I know it could be done ethically if someone tried.
brother we have been waiting on you and you're kind longer than i can remember,godspeed my friend
Do not believe all the lies spread by the anti racing ( unbeknown to them are actually being anti-greyhound) only on the rare occurrences is a dog put down, lots of pet owners dogs injure themselves badly and end up being put to sleep. The racing industry creates incredibly healthy pedigree dogs that us lucky mere mortals get to adopt at the end of their career. If you think its cruel go and visit a racing kennels.
@Baconmuncher or lose their l
Greyhounds are adopted when they retire
@@Gigi-ps7qs not all of them. there are so many and not enough people to adopt them so a lot actually get put down
So beautiful
aww that is so cute
I would personally never go to a greyhound race, but this video definitely brings out the beauty of this stunning animal.
These hounds can be frightening sight for pray !
JUST WATCHED THE ABC REGARDING LIVE BATING ON FOUR CORNERS AND I AM LOST FOR WORDSSSS.
Greyhounds are a sight hound. They love to chase that fuzzy fast thing. Look at thei noses wag!!
Ah, so that's why~. Thank you for explaining me!
I have had a Border Collie, a Kelpie and a Koolie and a Greyhound
each and every one of them was the best dog in the world and special in their own way
And when you get them home they're ready to be coach potatoes, looking for love. Best dogs, love girl Biscuit.
The record for a greyhound is 85 km/h!!! :-O
Some of you need to realize that greyhounds are some of the healthiest dogs, most greyhound racers are just average joes who sign up their dog for a couple of races and not professional kennel owners and the dogs love it. Most dogs injured aren't put down, they're sent to greyhound adoption agencies or bred if they are champions, and finally greyhounds are not turned to meat, that is idiotic, they would be too touch and flexed, same reason no one its fighting bulls or wild cats.
Look at them in just the fifth second of the video the greyhound was almost breaking his/her paw even seconds are cruel they break their (everything actually) legs tail even lose an eye and after the race they are REALLY tired
Treated like shit by its owner open wounds that hurt when even walking this is cruel and we have to stop it
And the worse is they are trained with live rabbits
Any and all dog sports, or sports in general, will have a risk for injury. I don't see you even glancing at lure coursing, the recreational version of racing despite it being almost exactly the same, just with turns added in and betting not being allowed. Compare the injury rate to dogs in agility competitions and you might just be surprised. Does that make agility dangerous? No, it just means that when dogs (and people) do something that involves movement, they bump up the risk of injury by a couple percentages. @@godillysillybilly6024
@@godillysillybilly6024 You are very wrong. That greyhound wasn't almost breaking his paw. That's how they run. Their paws flex so they can get the speed they need. Watch one running in slow motion. They don't lose their eyes or break their tails. That's so silly. And they are not tired after they race. They could keep racing again if they were allowed to. They only race for around 32 seconds. That is all. And NO, they are not trained with live rabbits. That has been illegal for many years, at least 25 yrs or more. They are trained with a stuffed bone, rabbit or dog. They get any wounds treated right away. There is a kennel Vet available all the time and a track Vet is at every race. Stop posting lies.
How is it some people call this cruel, actually? They love to run. It's in their blood!
bitterman co So what's the answer? Isn't there an ethical way to allow them to race w/out all the garbage?
bitterman co For sure! :) I appreciate these animals, and I have a strong interest in justice. They are kool! I remember my grandfather worked at a dog track in my hometown, when I was a kid... You sound like you are or were in the industry. As far as what you said above, is any of this actually happening? In other words, are there any ethical racetracks??
bitterman co That's neat. Glad to know the people fighting such an injustice. Thank you! I def want to look into adopting a greyhound one of these days.. Are they better like on a farm where they can run?
bitterman co Interesting, actually I think I recall hearing about this before... Good info, thanks! :)
bitterman co Ty!God bless, from New England. ;)
Smiles all round :D
Awesome
I have 2 rescue Greyhounds and I love them to bits. I have Kitty's Secret whom only got to the trials & Robert's Vision. Robert suddenly refused to race although he had been winning. We renamed him Odin. We have had Kitty for around 18 months and Odin around 4 months.
Odin is one big boy!
I have two as well, but I cannot call them rescued, because they weren't. They had good racing records, then the owner retired them. Both in incredible condition, healthy both psychically and mentally, no cowering, no sign of abuse. There was a time that they were treated badly, those days have passed, in the States anyway. I hear stories about abuse in other countries and I don't know if they are sadly true or not. I only know I have two retired athletes, and they are like my kids.
It's not uncommon for dogs to just stop, that's actually one of the biggest reasons we retire them lol
There marvellous dogs aren't they
I'm sure your family looks after the greyhounds really well but that don't mean EVERY greyhound owner cares for their greyhounds. Actually I know someone who until recently, worked at the tracks and he said that SOME dogs weren't treated properly. I personally don't go to the tracks coz its for old people but I think they're gorgeous dogs. It's kind of naive of you to think you can speak for all trainers and owners when you only know the situation from your own perspective.
Extremely cool photography. Why do they seem to work their jaws so much?
Sick peoples...... 😠😠😠😠😢😢😢😢😢😱😱😱😱😱😲😲😲😲😲😲😵😵😵😵😵😵😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😦😠😠
awesome
Such a Beautiful animal to be wasted on a SICK sport. Blood money num1 priority...there is such thing as a JOB out there...instead of relying/exploiting an animals natural ability to make some quick an easy cash. Mankind's instinct to take advantage of an opportunity. I say put this sport on the cold steel table and put it to rest.
Adopted an ex-race dog, beautiful girl, but now I see this, and I see what she went through when she was younger.
"What she went through" ??? You mean like chasing an artificial hare? Like dogs chase a ball? Get a grip.
@@ThePunter29 did I say she "went through" anything bad? I was just trying to say that she had a life before we met her. read properly before you have a go at someone.
@@marshall4049 "went through" is a term usually used to describe a negative experience. Such as "went through an ordeal".
@@ThePunter29 did I say that it was negative though? you're just assuming this now. Get a grip.
@@marshall4049 don't play stupid. Saying "but" followed by "now I see what she went through" is how those who speak English would begin to describe a negative situation.
Do you know where this was filmed? Great video BTW....we recently adopted an ex-racer and she is incredible.
It's hilarious when it does slo mo lol there face
yep
Fair enough, was fun though!
i agree
It's apparent that you know little about Greyhounds. We have a retired racer, and they are FAR from being abused. Yes, in the past there were some bad people doing bad things to these dogs. However, nowadays, they are treated like athlete, given great food to eat, have air conditioned kennels, etc. They aren't forced to run, and if they aren't fast enough or get injured, they are adopted out, NOT euthanized. Please don't spread disinformation about these wonderful dogs.
they are real couch potatoes
only bad thing about a grey is they seem to fart a lot and can clear a room in seconds lol
xD the best part is that i did not know their nose moved that much when running xD
I am a fan, these dogs are so amazing they love to run. A lot of people say they are exploited but they are doing what they love and that is to chase a rabbit. From 30 years of watching them today people actually care about these dogs and make sure they are not abused.
0:55
I love the instrument coming at this part. Anyone know which one it is?
Wow....🙌🙌 jus whhhhowwwa
I am really against racing the dogs, seen to many hurt on the track, and have dealt with the scarred and mentally wracked after their race is over.
There is no doubt that the dogs love to run, a few of my greys beg to have the muzzle put on because it means they will race.
I like this video. It has captured the spirit of the dog, no doubt the black is having fun. You would never have been able to see what this clip shows without the nice cam work.
really nice job, a plus vid *****
They are far more beautiful running in an open field for fun.
Beautiful yes but it's a good way to get them killed
Or even in a coursing club just for fun.
That probably doesn't happen often. They enjoy racing. Many owners treat their greyhounds as partners, rather than property. They work together to win races.
black one looks like one of zombie dogs in Resident Evil :D
Love the drama..
*Mutes music, Plays You're Gonna Go Far Kid in the background.. Watches* C:
Same
incredible dogs
FANTASTIC work by camera and post production team. Absolutely beautiful. Please don't do any work for racing companies!! :)
Wow.
Since I posted I read somewhere else that they tend to snap while they're running--because, after all, they believe they're chasing a small animal. They're trying to bite it.
np
Greyhounds have oversized lungs and hearts as well as extra large nostrils to take in more oxygen which helps them to run faster. They have been called the 45 mph couch potato and the canine version of the cheetah.
sure u will
np u should make on to on huskie vs gsd i say gsd hands down
