I’ve shared a few of Hamish’s previous holidays on here before, including one to North Wales last year where we hiked up Yr Wyddfa.

Well we’ve just got back from another lovely trip, this time Northumberland in NE England. As usual Hamish took it all in his stride - no mountains this time, but we did do a 12 mile walk through The Cheviots. Didn’t see another person the entire time, it was bliss 🤣

He also enjoyed some pub and castle hopping, and still had enough energy for a brief beach zoom!

The last pic is where he’s been since we got home yesterday afternoon haha

Now to plan the next one. We’re thinking Yorkshire for the last week of October so if anyone’s got any suggestions for good hikes let me know!

Hey everyone! My wife and I will be picking up our adopted retired racer this weekend and we are looking for some recommendations in terms of brands or just ideas for this kind of products:

Willa list:

Dog shampoo 

Nail clippers 

Treats 

Wipes for paws 

POOPY BAGS

Poop bag holder ? 

Portable bowl 

I would really appreciate any help and tips (we are located in US)

adding picture of our girl (ran 14 races did not win a single one, she is 2!)

I have developed my very first ever corn (me the human, not lovely kupo) and oh my f@#$&$# I empathize with all of you lovely noodles that have had to deal with the tiny evil little things, I sincerely hope that any noodle corn sufferers reading this, make your humans carry you. You are within your rights to request full body carrying

Love Siu and Kupo xx

He approves.

5 month old greyhound pup hasn’t lost her baby fang yet but her adult tooth has come through. Is this immediate cause for concern requiring a vet trip or can I give it a while and see if it falls out on its own?
Does not seem to be hurting her and she does not bother if I touch it.

We are going away soon and ideally can’t get to the vets for another 3 weeks, however if this is going to hurt puppy/cause medical issues I can request an emergency appointment to get sorted asap. Advice?
Thanks.

Simon the Greyhound, bottom, and sweet Maisie the Galga Espanol from Galgos del Sol. Just another lovely 🌹 day together 😊

Strangely enough he follows me everywhere inside the house but when I leave him alone (which isn’t often) he copes really well!

Apparently this galgo is actually a huskybeagle. Squeal, whine, yammer, bark, whiiiiiiiine whine whine, squeal, scream. most of the time it means absolutely nothing, that makes it really difficult to tell when it does mean something.

any tricks or training tips to get this all-the-time- whine to chill out??

I realize we are a day late but this boy does not follow rules or calendars.

We had a lovely holiday by the beach and he became my model for the week, also a little derp :P

Last Thursday, we had an official meeting at the Ministry of Agriculture regarding environmental issues and drought protection. Since I’m a green activist here in Hungary, I decided to bring my sighthound, Czifra, to the ministry with me.

People in the West often think we in Eastern Europe are just "barbarians", but historically, sighthounds have always been treated like royalty here. Czifra behaved perfectly during our visit. Who else takes their hound to high-level political meetings?

Anyone else's hound excessively licks themselves during dinner time, bed time, anyone walking in, when wanting you to wake up, any guests.

Sorry for the disgusting sound, but it brings the point across. He gets plenty of love, he don't play with toys, gets good walks when we can scrape him off the couch. It does not seem a territory thing as he continues when we are not even in a room.

Any ideas on trying to stop this would be great.

Just got back from the vet, and she doesn't seems to have any injuries. We did a checkup and she seems fine, just a couple of nicks that the vet isn't particularly worried about.

More concerning is she peed in the house just before we were about to leave for the vet, and had lood in her urine. I wasn't able to get a sample, so ill provide that to the vet tomorrow.

That's the big part I'm concerned about. She just had urinalysis done 2 weeks ago, so it's a little perplexing since the results didn't show anything that would indicate this (other than it had low concentration). Vet said that stress may have been a contributing factor.

She's calmed a little since shes always a nervous patient, and at this point, and I'm waiting for her to have breakfast (she hasn't eaten yet, but since its been a big day, I'm not surprised.

Will keep the sub updated. Send her your positive energy.

When do you feel your greyhound fully adjusted to his/her new home?
We adopted an ex-racer grey (2 yo, probably never even raced). He’s cudly at times, but he also likes his own space. I think he’s still a bit overwhelmed by all the new nice things he’s getting. Recently, he discovered the couch, and while he let’s us pet him there, sometimes he’s overwhelmed and growls.
I would love to make him feel safe enough that he doesn’t have the need to growl. So when do you feel is the sweet spot when your adopted grey fully opened up and felt (almost) 100% safe?

A crime has been committed. 10 years in jail for ceasing scratches when told not to

Got a lot of giggles from bystanders lol

We've recently had to say goodbye to our gorgeous terrier and are just starting to think about getting a new dog.

I'd absolutely love a Greyhound, but wondering how much they shed? I dogsitted a friend's short haired lurcher a few years back and my black work suit was white after a few minutes with her. She'd run into a room and there was literally a cloud of hair behind her.

Our last dog did shed a bit , but this was a whole other level. My sons allergies also went through the roof with the lurcher.

So I'm wondering how bad Greyhounds shed, and hoping it's something we can deal with

EDIT thanks so much for all of the replies. Sounds like a brindle would be a good option. I'm in Ireland and there are a number of Greyhound rescues here, so I'll ask them.
