Greyhounds for families with kids!

[mentalyunhinged]

keep up the good work, these dogs are wonderful and my 4year old puts her tiara on our 3 legged greyhound and he is very good with her. good luck with changing the policies of these agencies.

fantastic ad. not one word or lie here. I pick up my second ex-racer tomorrow. From kennel to couch. Yeah baby =D

Great video, I don't agree with keeping them on a lead in an unenclosed area though, they can be trained. Otherwise, great showing how wonderful the breed is. I have two, Todd who is 9 and Maddy who is 2. Maddy is an abuse case, but she's come on in leaps and bounds since I adopted her!

Russell, it was great meeting you, Jack and Ozzy today.  This is a beautiful video and really captures the wonderful aspects of owning greyhounds. Hope to see you all walking around the neighborhood soon.

Beautifully shot (recc viewing in HD!) and more importantly handles the issue is a clear, concise way...answers all questions anyone may have ESPECIALLY the misconception that they need a LOT of exercise!

You really capture the essence of this breed, the loving PLACID nature, and the couch potato temperament! BTW, the end shot should be a postcard! Great job for a great cause! Well done.

Beautiful and so well done. Makes me want number 5!!!

Too funny... Actually my wife had a dream one time that we had 5. I swore that I would never have 3 dogs... Never say Never. They are so easy going and easy to take care of. They are also such good companions too each other!

Greys are great dogs and very loving with childrens. Great Job Eite

Eh I know how you feel..... I agree with you... over the last 9 years since I adopted my Greys, the local adoption group has tightened up the rules soo much its almost worse than adopting a kid. Thank you for your efforts, I know the Greys appreciate it.... Check out my vid if you get a chance.

[jkmbb2006]

Nice video.... The "kid" rule is touchy.... most Greyhounds tolerate all kids just fine. We adopted 2 before our daughter was born and they both loved her at every age.. shes 5 -1/2 now..

[FdiProductions]

It shouldn't be touchy... Again not in every situation, but there are definitely instances where these animals could be getting good homes.

For every one dog placed in a good home means that an agency can bring in another one off the track. By changing this kind of thinking of "absolutely no dogs for families with small children", is probably the difference of saving hundreds of these animals yearly.

It's my intention to try and get other agencies to lighten up on this blanket policy.

@jkmbb2006 In Britain the rescue places come and do home checks, so they are placing the dog in a home that suits them. I never realised that the US was so strict. What is the reasoning behind it? Greyhounds are so gentle and soppy, they are ideal for families with kids as long as the greyhound is not a really nervous one.

[jkmbb2006]

@SuperBookwolf some greyhounds do have agression issues which makes them unsuitable to be around kids. However my one had sleep agression issues, he would try to bite your ankles (not really) off in the middle of the night if you got out of bed and stepped near him. Funny though my daughter would sleep walk right past him and he wouldnt make a peep, only the adults. So i feel he knew it was a child and would never harm her. FYI his brother who we adopted too is still alive and well at 12.5yrs
