I have just got a lurcher are they raced ? Because when I was watching your videos my dog was almost triggered by the racing alarm in your intro and seems to have almost nightmares about racing where he will wake up on edge and out of breath
Greyt Show some what an ordeal, but it help we hired a gentleman who helps military families book flights for the pets ( he always tries to to have the pets on same flight with the owner), the creates and transport the animals to airport. He spoke to Heathrow Animal Reception Centre ( they call it ARC) which the load and unload animals on the plane, plus process through customs. We also had a special crates made for Chase and Bella, because the dogs should be able to turn around and stand according to customs from the UK and US. Of course, we had to watch the for the weather because if it is too hot or way cold the airlines will transport the dogs, for international flights airlines put them in cargo. We were blessed because we were flying into Houston and we made it by five degrees. My husband and I made sure Chase and Bella was loaded into the van when we landed in Houston, we would not get off the plan till we saw our dog loaded up in the van. Unfortunately we lost Chase from old age two years ago ( he was 14 years old when he passed) and we lost Bella last year right before Christmas (she was also 14 years old). Of course greyhound are like Pringles’s you can’t just stop at one. Lol
Treats, Play, Love, by Patricia Gail Burnham is another great book, by a woman who has done competitive obedience with greyhounds and the pictures are pretty much all greyhounds. It's my favorite training book.
I'm not sure how/if it affects performance. I am planning a video about "happy tail", which is what it is called when they have to cut it off cause it is usually cause they wag it and bash it into things and break it a lot. Just not sure when that will go out.
Love your video series. Surprised it's such an organized entertainment in Iowa. I also am lazy, but also a bit allergy prone. What is your opinion on Greyhounds as a breed and how suitable they might be for someone with dog allergies. For me, not all dogs cause allergies, but who knows? Thanks.
Greys tend to work better for people with allergies cause they dont have an undercoat or dander. Not sure how many meet and greets adoption groups are doing during Covid, but if you have the opportunity to be around some, you can test to see how your allergies react.
You do not have any allergies to dogs or cats. that's what they want you to think so you'll reach for anti-histamines (which are pharma-produced). If you take the right amounts of Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc and Magnesium your allergies will come to an end.
We adapted 4 retired greys in 2011. After researching the racing industry we decided to purchase 2 racing puppies they became racers. Unfortunately we parted company in 2016 she has the greys @@GreytShow
@@chrisverone4199 you may be interested in the video I have ready to go for March 1st. I am going to teach two greys how to do stairs. It is awkward but they get it in the end.
Where can someone in CT adopt a healthy (but not wanted in racing) greyhound? The "Rescue" scene from those who claim to save greyhounds feels like a racket. I feel like only "insiders" get anywhere good in the line... and some get 5 or 6 dogs ... while people like myself might wait forever.
@@ruthhagenbaugh2223 I have been on these "waiting lists" forever. The "rescue" groups seem more like a business. They collect a lot of funds, and you don't "adopt" any dog, you PURCHASE them for $700. And even still, when you see a dog that might match you they say, "oh, that one is going to someone who lost their other greyhound recently". They are all "non-profit". It's a scam, or definitely fishy.
@@shedroids That's really not right. My group was never like that. We would match up the right greyhound with the right home, whether they never had a greyhound before or whether they did. We only charged $375.00 to adopt. No scam with us. I hope you can find a different adoption group, never a rescue group. They aren't rescued, they are retired.
@@ruthhagenbaugh2223 You sound like you run a nice retired greyhound group. Unfortunately, it does not work that way where i can look for the best group. We are stuck with those in our area because they don't send greyhounds from outside our areas..... even if they seem to be able to have them be brought all the way from Ireland and Spain and UK and even Japan and Korea!! I want to get a young dog right from the whelping places where they breed them for the races... but these retired racer groups are the ones that prevent it... because they cannot make their money.
@@shedroids Awww, see, you want a pup. That's almost impossible. Pups go really quickly whenever they become available. The young ones are very rare to adopt, even for those that are in the business. The only way pups become available is if one gets injured while playing, if it's an oops breeding, where the breeding wasn't supposed to happen or if the pup has a deformity of some kind. Otherwise, they don't start training them until they are at least 14 months old. If they won't chase for whatever reason, then that greyhound will get an early retirement and go to an adoption group. Most available greyhounds are anywhere from 2 to 5 yrs old. So, if you want an older greyhound, you can probably get one as long as you get approved. If you want a younger one, you'll most likely have to find a breeder and buy a pup from them. Adoption groups don't make money on adoptions. The fee to adopt goes for vetting before they get adopted, for spay or neuter, dental, chip, shots and worming. That is expensive and adoption groups rely on donations to help too. They don't get paid to run these groups.
Love your videos Heather and Brian.posting this on facebook .Sally with Hannah ( Formerly Creamy Classic ..makes me want a Vanilla Latte ) not sure how to post a pic here will try.
Im glad you enjoy our videos!Unfortunately you can't post pictures in TH-cam comments. The photo finish is for Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I did not specify that in these earlier videos.
I find it amazing that the folks in Florida think that these pooches are mistreated, and are forced to run! I own my third Grey and believe me, I have never forced him to run, he loves to show me how quick he really is. I also wonder what the Floridians will say when the state raises their taxes to make up the short fall that the track provided. Guess some folks just vote without doing their homework on the issues.
I feel that a lot of voters in Florida were misled by special interest groups that alleged abuse. It is my understand that a suit has been introduced to the state court regarding how voters were misled but I don't really know what to expect out of that.
@@missbeaussie Does that mean you will be trying to close the horse race tracks in Miami? I guess the athletes in high school and college might disagree with you, and they don't even get paid!

Picture of my greyhound who was my Heart. Had her 8 yrs before bone cancer showed up. Best dog I ever had
Ironic how such a lazy and relaxed breed is also the world's fastest breed.
They are sprinters but they lose steam quickly, lol!
Racehorses don't do much either.

Your fucking pathetic. These dogs love to run. It’s not a nightmare for them to think about running.
We adopted two greyhounds when we were stationed in England and of course we brought them back to the States. Now we our on our third greyhound, Cash.
That must have been an ordeal getting them here all the way from England.

I was not familiar with that book, thank you for recommending it!
I noticed that number 8 has a stumpy tail. How does that affect his (or her) racing performance?

They are also the American flag colors ;)

I rescued two at one time. Yes, they are couch potatoes. Loved them.
What if I want a 41mph couch potato?
You'll have to get a cheetah!
They can run up to 43miles an hour.
I'm sure a greyhound can more than make up the 1 mph shortfall with love and affection.
They can do up to 45 mph
Reminds me of my 2 racers!
How long have you had your two retirees?
We adapted 4 retired greys in 2011.
After researching the racing industry we decided to purchase 2 racing puppies they became racers. Unfortunately we parted company in 2016 she has the greys

You have to check for adoption groups in your area and get your name on a waiting list. There is a shortage of available greyhounds right now.
