- An Australian dog trainer wrongly claims greyhounds are boring on National television. This is so damaging to the reputation of the greyhound breed. There are so many injured racing greyhounds in rescue centres that need rehoming and this sort of comment doesn’t help the situation. This video shows that greyhounds are not boring dogs with clips of Fairy being her amazing self and hopefully will encourage people to adopt them.

He's so damned wrong. I hate this so much, they should not be categorised as a 'bad dog breed'!
Fairy, you are the best ambassadoress for greyhounds. How could anyone not fall in love with her and this majestic breed?
I love to hear Fairy's paws on the sand whilst she's running.
Well said..💯❗👍
I assume the dog trainer feels bored by well behaved dogs since they do not need much of his training.🍒
Good point!
GREAT comment.
‘Boring’ is such a subjective term as well! How stupid!!
What a prat! As said in other comments, please call him out. Not had a greyhound myself, but a friend did, and he was the most characterful, intelligent, amazing dog. Definitely the opposite of boring!
Exactly!
I live in and was born in Australia. I haven't heard of this bloke but I never watch tv or listen to the radio, that is probably why. What a dicchead😡
What does he mean by boring? No dog is boring. I adopted a greyhound 2 years ago and she is the best dog I have had. Easy to look after and lovely.
I'm mad as hell about this. BTW fairy is gorgeous.😊
Yes, the guy is an ignorant fool.🙄🇦🇺
I’ve never heard of him either. What a dill.
I'm not surprised by this person's commitment on a breed of canine that most people know nothing about except that they are bred for racing. He obviously has very little experience with the breed and their qualities , befriending them and growing their confidence in you as their trainer/ owner.
Your videos of Fairy describe the breed opposite and in total contradiction to this man's comments. FAIRY ,the greyhound is a reflection of her owners qualities and patience.
Qualities that sadly are missing in this young man's character and capabilities.
Happy adventures,you beautiful girl.
To you, Fairy's Mum, be proud of your achievements. I know Fairy is. ❤❤❤
I’m glad you brought this up. I was so upset when I heard that is so-called dog expert said the greyhounds are boring. There are so many greyhounds that need to be adopted. They’re not like other dogs. And I have to admit mine are pretty boring sometimes! But they’re wonderful companions. You’re lucky you have so many places time to let her off the lead and things like dog agility to keep her active and entertained.
I am in awe as well. Watching this greyhound sail through the air just "tickles my innards" (American idiom). I have had 2 rescued greyhounds & neither was a bore. In fact, both had higher IQ's than what this trainer exhibits!!!
Haha, good comment😁
I have lived with dogs all my adult life, and my Greyhound is the most entertaining dog I've ever had. Just watching her sleep is entertaining, as she constantly changes position and often takes up bizarre positions, which I post on Facebook, and she has gained quite a following.
As a human, I want to spend my retirement years solely with greyhounds. They are so beautiful, gracious, empathetic and emotionally intelligent. Hands down. ❤❤❤
Fairy is defiantly not boring. You've made you case brilliantly.
As an Australian, I apologise for my ignorant fellow countryman! Not only are greyhounds NOT boring, I think they are so gracious. Love them and when I get the opportunity to have any animal, greyhound rescue will be it. They seem to suffer a lot of misinformation. Love Fairy and her zoomies.😍💟💝
Here here 💯❗..no wonder Greyhounds get overlooked with numpties like that giving their 2 penneth...🤬 Fairy is a great advocate to rescue beautiful greys ❤
Unfortunately, he does not have DISCERNMENT, for dogs with their magical diverse characters!
Go Fairy! We ❤️ love you.
And mommy, too!❤🎉
Greyhounds are the best dogs, fun, obedient, loving, eager to please. and sensitive, they dont shed much and dont need a professional groomer often, They dont stink or drool. Theyre also the most beautiful dogs, and Fairy is a REAL princess- I adore her
Someone insulted our lovely Fairy? She is amazing! I would love to adopt one. We have a 12 year old Cardigan Corgi who would love a friend.
I'd love to have a greyhound, so would my husband, but with pets already, we can't do it right now, so we so enjoy our Fairy! :)
Sighthounds in general love the company of another dog - or more.
Perhaps you'll adopt and if so the best of luck.
Adopting a dog in need is the best experience ever
I’m an Aussie - I’m sorry, that guy is a jerk. I adopted 2 last Sunday and they are hilarious! Absolute goof balls, who happen to sleep a lot. He was irresponsible and just showed his lack of knowledge. What a jerk.
That trainer was IGNORANT.
I can only assume that the Aussie Trainer based his opinion on Greyhounds being imprisoned when they are forced to Race for the gambling industry, never given this freedom to run and play. GH are hilarious, given the chance to be a family Pet. 😍🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Fairy is the Ambassador for how much fun they enjoy being a wonderful Pet. 🥳😍🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
I had a lurcher - lovely dog. Such personality and never boring at all. Hope someone on TV contradicts that Australian. 👍
Not boring, I don’t think any dog is boring. Morning tv talk shows are usually a bit rubbish and this is just an example or that. Now I am stereotyping aren’t I! P.S. I am an Aussie and have never heard of this bloke either.
Nor me.
That dog trainer may find Greyhounds boring, but those of us who love sighthounds know, that they are a lot of things but boring is not one of those things.
Affectionate, calm, cuddly, charming, playful and speedy beauties who may not be easily trained - because they need to see the point of doing what you're asking, before they'll consider doing it.
Wonderful family pets and great pack dogs.
.
Making this video and thus standing up for Fairy and her fellow Greyhounds was a beautiful rhing to do❣️
Well done
If ignorance is bliss, that trainer must be ecstatic! ❤❤❤ love Fairy and her wonderfully complex personality, including her silliness!
Greyhounds dont need a Dog trainer when they are a family Pet. Yes, they sleep a lot, but when they are outdoors, they love to run and play chase aftef a ball like most breed's. They are well mannered, calm, NEVER jump up on people. A Behaviour I can't tolerate. I would never have another Breed. Once a Greyhound Lover, always a Greyhound Lover. 😍 Wonderful, loyal, noble Hounds. Fairy is a hoot 😆
Years ago, I adopted a pair (unrelated) of retired racing rescues, who I named Bobo and Timmy. They were the sweetest, and funniest, boys. Timmy was unusually tall, even for a greyhound, and when he got the zoomies, he'd cover the whole living room in about one and a half strides. It was quite a sight. Bobo like to chase his ball incessantly. The two of them loved attention, and Timmy in particular would burrow his head into my side to get close for ear scratches. I still miss them dearly.
My grown daughter's 6-year-old rescue greyhound has just completed his extensive training as a service dog. He learned so much so quickly because he's intelligent, interested in life, loving, and eager to please his beloved family. He has an abundance of delightful personality. Can't imagine anyone thinking greys are boring -- especially a trainer who should know better 😊
So glad you push back to that boring person❤❤
I agree with everything you say, so someone with a dense mind needs to butt out! Love greys❤
Never mind the fact that her beautiful colour looks stunning on that sandy background
You really need to share this vlog with dog rescue centres as sadly greys do get overlooked, Fairy is adorable ❤🎉
This video deserves to go viral! And yes please, tell us his name or Social Media handles so we can tag him at least ...
I think I have found him, sent him a long scathing email which he will hopefully answer & then we can all pounce upon him.
Brilliant🙂@@vintagelady1
No dog is boring, let alone beautiful, elegant greyhounds!! Obviously this guy, who calls himself a dog trainer, is completely unaware.
I never have had the honor of owning this elegant breed, I'm a longtime race track fan of this fastest dog in the world, I can say that what I see is an intelligent, courageous, brave, sensitive, gentle, enduring and people loving soul. That rude trainer needs to shut up and quit talking out his *ss.
You tell them, Fairy!! Greyhounds aren't boring, they're just smarter than Mr. Too-Short Shorts! I swear I'm finding out his name so we can roast him over the barbie!!
Mr Too-short shorts😁 Enjoy your Barbie🤣🍾
I couldn't wait for Fairy's next vlog and this is a great one! I'm sure if that trainer fostered a greyhound for one night he'd be hooked, he'd have a dozen following him around afterward.
I love watching her run. Such a graceful creature! And such a beautiful, expressive face! Definitely not boring.
Come on! We are talking about the Glorious Greyhound, here!❤🎉
You described Fairy as amazing. If I may, I’d replace amazing with majestic. Especially when watching her run on your local beaches. “Amazing” is the love and life you and your family have given her. She’s so happy 😊
I got tired just watching this energizer bunny..Who said Greyhounds are boring is obviously ignorant to say the least.
If I had one word to describe Greyhounds, it would be Majestic.
He is a know nothing pillock. Fairy is adorable. Don't listen to him Fairy. If greyhounds are so boring how come you can do a popular youtube that many people love to follow? Ypu are both great 💖🤗
That's like saying someone's baby is ugly.Just don't do it lol❤🇨🇦
Truth!
Wasn’t the water in Dartmoor cold? 🥶🥶🥶. I am very impressed with the amount of stuff you do while recovering from long Covid. Congratulations!
This dog trainer's irresponsible comment is his attempt to be controversial just for the sake of television...
Think you're right there!
That's a thought...
Greetings from a viewer in south Texas USA! Fairy is definitely not boring. I think you really got it right when you said Fairy.has a very expressive face. All the best.
Don't listen to them, Fairy! ❤❤ Imo, some ppl make comments just to get a rise out of people. ✌✌😅
1:50 they sure do, and they sure aren't! Agree 100%! Fairy is just the sweetest dog. I'm glad you made this video! Bad, bad trainer! Good, good Fairy!! ♥♥
Dog trainer? I think not....utter waste of space yes. 😕 how dare he!
I agree with you completely, I have a Lurcher, she is a wippet/staffi cross, she has the speed and the stamina of the staffi. I would love to get a greyhound to partner mt girl. Great video of Fairy at the beach too. Keep on posting, please.
Those aren’t growls of excitement but laughter. Your dog laughs. And I bet that Trainer will be very sorry for saying any dog was boring.
She's chortling!
It never ceases to amaze me, how every day they come up with new material to make us laugh.
I never knew anything about Greyhounds until I worked in a kennels that housed ex-racers. They are far from boring. Most of the time they are really well behaved and easy BUT they have the absolute best quirks and character traits. Their personality and some of the things they do really stand out from each-other and make them unique; I never met 2 Greyhounds that were the same or similar.
Unlike other breeds where most of them have similar characteristic and behaviours, I think all Greyhounds are very different from each-other. Breeds such as Labradors, Springer/Cocker Spaniels, GSD; it's pretty predictable what temperament you will get. But not with a Greyhound. Some will e complete lunatics, some will be chilled, others are really reactive and noisy, others just quiet and don't bark at anything. Some are really confident and jump in your face, others will roll on their back. Some will ALWAYS have their toy in their mouth, others just don't care for them.
All dogs have personalities, but I have never seen such a range as I have with Greyhounds.
Beautiful dog 🐕 🐕👌👍😀😀🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks I think so too 🥰❤️
Thanks for another enjoyable video. My favourite part was Fairy was doing “off the lead” zoomies around the agility course, it was obvious how happy she was. I’ve not seen the digging before. You asked for video suggestions, how about roomie or garden zoomies?
From a man who wears Crocs!
I know!!! And obscenely short shorts! Dude, that went out with Magnum P.I.!
@@vintagelady1at least Magnum was handsome. That other guy was UGLY and BORING!!
Not boring at all. It’s the perception. Like every breed. You get good ones and bad ones. A friend of mine had a greyhound and it was very odd. Used to sneak up and nip people from behind. So not all of them are weirdos just based on one or two experiences.
What a ridiculous and ignorant thing to say - especially on the telly. Mind you, the program he was on isn’t exactly highbrow. In my view, greyhounds are certainly NOT boring, and I have had rescue greyhounds for the last 26 years.
They are great dogs and they are very interesting. I love e her expressions.
They are sight hounds and prey driven. My neighbor's Greyhound was being walked of leash by someone else and chased and bit the tail off a squirrel.
Common sense dictates that if one knows their dog has high prey drive, keep them on leash! Both greys that I rescued were very timid dogs & chased nothing. Racing greys are often "coursing" trained by breeders using live rabbits & piglets to increase prey drive & make them "better" racers. Every greyhound is individual.
He should know better. Australia still has dog racing and homes are needed for retirees. If he cared about dogs he would not say that.
There is nothing more rewarding on earth than earning the love and trust of a greyhound, when they lean against you in that special way... I don't know who wrote the famous haiku:
Some may say "too lean"
but the greyhound understands.
"To lean" is a verb.
And they are comical. I remember once I had a bag of chicken, and I let my Emma off on a grassy hill well away from any roads to teach her recall, and she just went trotting off. I was shouting and shouting and then chasing her. A very kind couple caught her for me, and when I caught up they said: "She's lovely. Is she deaf?" and I had to say: "No. She's just ignorant."
You will buy dog coats. More than you need. I knitted plenty. I knitted her a christmas coat out of red merino and fashion fur trim.
You will tuck them in at night.
When Emma discovered she could have "things" that were hers, she was so happy. I took her to the pet shop and bought her a toy stick, and she carried it all the way home, pleased as punch.
Sorry for the long comment lol. I miss my girl so much.
👏 what a wonderful video, thank you. I will not even bother to comment on the unfortunate comments of that so called dog trainer, but I am glad that it prompted you to delight us with this video. I've never owned a greyhound but love them as I love all dogs. In your video you do not mention how affectionate Fairy is. I ask, because I always see greyhounds on my walks and they appear more timid and restrained than other dogs in terms of giving and receiving affection.
Fairy likes a fuss and whines and paws you when she wants to be stroked. She will nuzzle her head in to you to but is always well mannered and never jumps up or licks your face
To simplify any animal or dog is kind of like racism or bigotry IMHO, all dogs are their own dogs and may have traits that are more common to their breed... What a jar-head... Greyhounds are soo lovely and sweet and I love them personally! Thank you for all you do for them too. Fairy really is lucky!
If you have a bored dog YOU probably are a boring Trainer... shoe's on the other foot now... Fairy going HAM on the beach is absolutely a RIOT!! Fairy is such a HAPPY and entertaining girl, she's the best! You can take the Greyhound out of the race, but you can't take the Race out of the Greyhound
True!
Talk about cheeky ham...did you see Fairy's expression during her quick digs while performing her Fairy freestyle agility?? "Get a load of this, everyone!! Ha, ha!!"
@@joycerichardson1810 hahaha she's sooo cute
Well said.
Fairy is the prettiest greyhound in the world!!!
Thanks I think so too 🥰
ok... I am offended.. NO DOG is boring... Next he is going to say Basset Hounds are boring... My first dog was a basset... she was anything but boring. I have never met a mean greyhound.. never.. only sweet one with big hearts in more ways then one. end of story.
Call him out on his news channel, here you're preaching to the choir or at least provide the link so we can speak on this also. While some of us may not have a greyhound, we are familiar with the characteristics of the breed.
I'm working on finding him.
The man obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. Perhaps he hasn't come across many greyhounds and he thinks they are boring because he doesn't make much money from their owners.
I’m afraid you’re preaching to the converted. I don’t have one because I’m working full time, but would love to get one.
Aka ❤Heart Hound 😉. 😍😍
Best video yet!
How did you train Fairy to walk without a lead? How difficult was it working with Fairy?
Where is that wonderful beach?!?!
Harlech in North Wales UK
Thank you, it looks amazing! My Greyhound Ron is very jealous, we live by the sea but its pebbles which dont appeal to his dainty little trotters, bless `im.@@Fairythegreyhound
Stunning Welsh beaches.
Where can I adopt a greyhound?
Where are you from? There are loads of rescue centres in England
Do an internet search for greyhound adoption & rescue centers. Very easy search. There are many centers filled to capacity & beyond with greys needing homes. Many greys bred in Ireland are sent to UK. Australia is even sending greys by airplane to homes in US. Please do adopt there are so many!
He's wearing crocs need I say any more.
cool
There certainly isn't anything boring about a greyhound or similar. I have a lurcher which is three quarters greyhound and one quarter border border collie and he runs with dogs he feels safe with. When this happens all eyes are on him. Recall can be bad as he's a free spirit.
They are not really available in the states
So they are available in the uk and Ireland?
Yes loads in the UK
Is Fairy able to sit?
Greyhounds can't sit due to their build. They stand, or lay down. :)
No she doesn’t sit. She just lays down
Some greyhounds DO sit. I had one who sat!@@onlyjesussaves840
Some greyhounds sit! I had 2 greys, one could sit & one could not!@@onlyjesussaves840
I asked if Fairy sits because she seems to do everything else so wonderfully well. My experience with the 2 rescued racers I had is that one would sit & one would not. It seems some greys can be trained & some will not. It really is quite amusing to watch a grey maneuver into the sitting position! Pictures of "sitting greys" can be found online. Like everything with this wonderful breed, they are as individual as the number of greyhounds.@@Fairythegreyhound
