I just adore greyhounds! Had two myself but in the last year both sadly passed away with age related health issues. Very very sad, will eventually adopt another one or two from the recycled greyhound people here in Sydney. My mother has two Salukis, they are a lot more snobby than my greys were though. . Thanks for posting the video. Sad about his tail, still a stunning animal.
But it does depend on the dog, though. Like the dog in this video, mine want’s to “be with” her humans, and is not inclined to run after animals or other distractions. Your milage may vary.
It is generally a good idea to keep your greyhound in a fenced area. In a place like this, though (the beach) the dog can run basically in two directions (there is a wall and the water in the other two). While a greyhound CAN do 45 mph, he can do it only for a minute or two (the longest race mine ran was 45 seconds). So the idea that they will “get away” on the beach is somewhat of a myth. My grey runs all the time on Jekyll Island – and the last thing she wants to do is run AWAY.
he had it amputated at the rescue kennels as it kept splitting badly when he hit it against the kennel walls. They couldn’t stop it bleeding so eventually they removed it.
dont mean to be nosey what happened to his tail there was a dog at the kennels i went to broke all his tail by wagging it of the bed which is on a stand and hitting of the wall aswell

I love to see how, when they run, they do this “touching base with you” kind of circle as they whizz past you. One happy grey.

He raced under the name Ying Yang. His dad is Meg’s grandad Top Honcho.. so that makes him her “Uncle Charlie” I guess!

Is he in a fenced area? I don’t see a fence.

Why the muzzel?

He had it removed before we got him. They have a tendency to damage their tails in kennels
