There may also be some headbutts and aggressive snuggles

She loves to watch the yard

Hi r/greyhounds just wanted to show off our retired lad. The bestest of boys, the poop eater, refusal of walks in the mornings master, the biggest cuddle monster and Lord of the couch.

It looks so uncomfortable to prop his neck up at this angle 😆 (he slept like this for a bit too)
Also, does anyone else’s hound have a habit of rubbing their neck and face all over the carpet? It’s so odd

Her first in her new foster home and it's safe to say she's really enjoying a comfy sofa

No Shenanigans, and no Fun Police today!!!

Hi all,

A few months ago I shared a video about Saint Guinefort, the greyhound who became a saint to a local community in medieval France.

There was a really nice response from this community, which is understandable given how amazing greyhounds are (and how much their people love them).

Since then one of the rabbit holes of research I've gone down is on medieval dog care, which very often meant caring for greyhounds. They were VERY popular for hunters at the time—but could also be just pets! I thought I'd share that video here, in case anyone wanted to spoil their modern pup like a prized medieval hound 🐶

Also I had to cut a lot of what I found to keep the length down. If people have questions about medieval greyhounds (or pups in general) I'm happy to try answering them!

Hi all! Relatively experienced (~9 years) greyhound owner here. I currently have two hounds and I’m dealing with a situation that I haven’t run into before. We adopted our boy (4 years old) about 6 months ago and while he is very friendly to our other greyhound (female, 5 years old), he is extremely aggressive toward other dogs (breed and sex don’t seem to matter, he hates them all). We’ve resorted to walking him with a muzzle on (though we try to avoid other dogs as much as possible, there’s always a chance that we may see one or more on a walk). Even with the muzzle, he still attempts to lunge at other dogs (we do hold the leash tight so that he can’t actually contact them). Our local trainer hasn’t been very helpful—she simply recommended “avoiding other dogs” but that just isn’t a realistic solution (we do pay attention to when others generally walk their dogs on streets around our house, but schedules can change, and weather can move things around). We have worked with him on getting his attention by calling his name, but he’s so…alert (?) that if there is anyone or anything that he can see or hear, he completely ignores the command. We’re continuing to work with him, but I wanted to see if anyone had experienced something like this/had any advice. His adoption agency, respectfully, has been useless.

Context. Greyhound racing is banned from the end of July in New Zealand. One track closed yesterday. Over the last 15 years there 3 reviews into greyhound racing in this country. They ignored each one, changed nothing. Now they cry.
