Some of the nonsense that people come out with about greyhounds really bugs me. That’s why I’ve put this together. Recently I was talking to a woman, who said she was thinking of getting a dog. I had my 2 greyhounds, Breagha & Todd with me, and she was stroking them, and saying what lovely natures they had, and they were gorgeous. So I said to her, why not adopt a retired racer. Her response was ‘I couldn’t possibly give up my cats.’ It made me annoyed, yet another person who has made the …

I’d love to adopt a retired racer but I have to wait because my Sheperd hates other dogs T_T
I fell in love with the greyhounds after working in an animal shelter, so many greys were being brought in and they were all sweeties

We have a wonderful, sweet, lovely etc,etc girl grey , two terriers and 6 cats and they all get along just fine.We’ve had her three years now and the cats are even safe running in the back yard when she is outside – BUT you do have to watch closely for quite a while….

They really are amazing dogs, I’ll never be without one.

Our Greyhound, Isis, gets along great with our 2 cats, Ben and Charlie. We adopted her at 2 1/2 right from the track. When we brought her home, she looked at the cats and that was it! I think they were a bit scared of her, but that lasted only a day or so. Greyhounds are awesome, gentle dogs. Please consider adoption!

Breagha was 6, Todd was 5.

That’s good too
I do love hearing of more happy greys in their homes!

I know some adoption agencies screen greys to find out which will get along well with cats and which might need training first. We’re allergic to cats over here, so we got one of the not-so-cat-compatible greys.

how old were they when they were introduced to cats?

It is lovely to see your grey getting on so well with your cat. It has given me some hope. We got our grey Thomson, 2 months ago and we have 2 cats, who are get nervous, everytime they see the dog. We have a baby gate up in the house seperating the cats and the dog and we are introducing them to each other slowly. I would love any advice, on other ways to get them together, so that they can share the house and not have to be seperated. We keep Thomsons muzzle on when the cats are around. Thxs

Some greys have a higher prey drive than others. Any responsible adoption place wants the dogs in a forever home and should screen them. We have a retired racer and five cats.Greys are wonderful , sweet dogs that appreciate a forever home in a way that seems they know how their lives were before and how they are now..Get one – or two…………….

I just got a Grey from a racer… she wanted to eat anything that was smaller than her and moved…. with a bit of patience and a lot of love and talking doggy to her, she now accepts the cats (to a point) but is so, so much better than she was. And all this in one month!

great video, my 6 cats live very happy with my Galgo side by side! no problem at all

Great job! One month ago I adopted a greyhound. I chose one who did not have a strong prey drive, because I have 6 lovebirds, and even though they will not be free at the same time unsupervized, I did not want her to constantly be on edge. She sleeps peacefully in her crate when the birds are free for 2 hours each night, even goes willingly in it by herself when I tell her that they need to come out. She comes in the bird’s room with me and just looks at them through their cages. It is possible!

Very sweet- beautiful animals.Lucky is big boy…wouldn’t argue if he wanted to come on the couch!

This reminds me of our grey Gracie and our various cats. The video I have on here is of our cat Lucky (how funny!) cleaning Gracie. He does this at every opportunity; especially her ears! We love our grey and anything we can do to dispell those myths out there is great. I really enjoyed this montage!

I am new to You Tube and this video is adorable. I needed that smaile.

Thank you so much for making me smile tonight, I needed it!
We have 2 cats and I can’t wait to adopt a greyhound – unfortunately at the moment my working hours are preventing it.. Your animals look very happy together!
Hugs to you and scritches to your furkids!

Well said

I’ve had two retired racers and two kitties for years. All live quite happily together. My one grey, Ruby, ignores the kitties, but my other one, Nellie, plays with them, grooms them, and curls up on the sofa together. A grey should be cat tested, of course, by your adoption group, but many live very happily (and safely!) with cats. Please adopt!!

my two kitties rule the roost as well!
