we have a v similar coloured greyhound - when I set the cam-corder to see what he did when we left the house, he went up the camera, sniffed it & ran up stairs with it in his mouth. The footage was amusing but the camera went into the dustbin
Rocket is so cute! My friend has two grey hounds, and I love feeding them during dinner time. The boy is a typical bed jumper or sofa jumper. But neither of them tried to jump on the dinner table! (We sometimes put vase and flowers on the table).
One of the comments reminds that there is always music in their home. They do leave the radio on while nobody is at home.
This greyhound, for all the people who are going on about boredom, isn't bored. He is experiencing what is called 'seperation anxiety'. it is common in ex racers because in most racing kennels they are either kenneled in pairs, have people around most of the time, or have the radio on. This grey has none of those things which is why the crying, jumping around etc. Our three no longer need the radio on and are more than happy being left.
My 2 Greyhounds never jumped on top of counters..think it would hurt there backs if they did..Your coffee pot in the background..I have the same one..lol
I have a question for all the Greyhound junkies out there. My hubbs and I live in central New Hampshire (U.S., not U.K.) and as everybody knows, it gets very cold and we get a ton of snow. Can they thrive okay in this type of climate? We've been talking about adopting one from a rescue group but want to make sure they can do alright with cold & snow. Nice video BTW. :)
@sapphyra - That's great, thanks so much for getting back to me. :) I think we'll go ahead and begin the adoption process now. Finally, after 2 yrs of researching what dog would be best for us! Love Greyhounds :)
My Greyhound LOVES the sofas When we come home hes either pulled down all the cushions on both or is sleeping on one! He is amazing and beautiful and I <3 Him Sooo Much xxx
Poor Rocket knew he was NOT going to be good! He looked down and away as you said that. My poor boy, Joey, won't even get up on the bed (about 40cm). He wants all 4 feet firmly on the ground at all times. 12-18 seconds looks like a bad '70's horror film: "Attack of the Giant Sand Monsters!"
So cute, well loved by the looks of him. I love how neatly they can jump up. Our boy Zoomie, a retired racer, would love to jump up onto the bench too, but he settles for jumping up on the bed!
is there any windows for him to look out of? We have a floor window at home and Baby never jumps up on furniture or anything. But as soon as I take her to my parents she jumps on the couch as its the only way to see out the window.
i use to have an greyhound, everytime you go outside they watch you anyway they can to see if your safe, usually if another dog or person approaches you, they bark like crazy
well my greyhound is a rescued race dog but when we leave she cries just like that and it has nothing to do with her being bored it is just she needs human contact after realizing what it is like nice dog by the way
I love this video! I must have watched it at least 10 times. I have two greyhounds at home, and I can't imagine them jumping on my counter! Love those hounds! =o)
You have one cheeky hound! ;) I accept that our cats get up there but I would never have dreamt in a million years that Daisy the grey might, lol! Better not show her your vid or she might get ideas ;-)
hahaha thats so funny because my greyhound chloe does the same thing and we also caught it on camera sometimes we find her sleepin on the stove hope i dont leave it on by accedent one day.
OMG!!!!!! that looks nearly identical to my Greyhound!!!! Dont you just love the cute way they someimes close their mouth when breathing, take a moment to think and continue? i also love that little stump of a tail....looks like a brush but is jut part of the Greyhound beauty. HIGH FIVE PROUD GREYHOUND OWNERS!!!!
@MatchCard YEAH it's incredible! I leave the radio blasting during the day and I find my dog asleep right in front of it! Then he FLIPS OUT when I leave him without the radio on.
@bombercat123 I think it's largely greyhounds, specifically ex-racing greyhounds which are kenneled for many hours a day. Apparently they keep the music running 24/7 or else the dogs flip out. I'm not sure if I agree with the way they treat them, but then my dog would go into his cage and just sit there and do nothing for MANY hours until it was time for a run. Racing greyhounds are incredibly unique... mine didn't play fetch, tug of war... nothing. just wanted to run 3x a day.
@bombercat123 I have three ex racers and the advice we were given was to leave the radio on when we first left them home alone so that they didn't stress out.
Just a side note, if you've seen my Hurricane Ike slideshow, this video of Rocket was taken in the beach house that appears in the slideshow. The picture of the beach house on fire has this house in it. The grey contemporary house across the street from the one burning WAS ours. We sold it last month. That is the kitchen Rocket was in.
Awe, poor guy misses his mum. The beginning where you can only see his foot and cute overbite is adorable. My rescued Grey fortunately does very well left alone and stays out of trouble. She's been an angel since the day i got her at age 2.
i used to race mine stonepark at milton keynes his name now is archie paid a £1000 for the biggest tub of lard ever so much carackter would of paid 5g if i had it if u aint owned a greyhound u never had a dog he is 13yrs now won a few races 2nd 2 derby winner but means nothing with the pleasure he gives me nudge in me out of bed every night they are the best get one u no it makes sense
He is a lovely greyhound,but hey,aren't they all.He 'cries' just the same as my girl Daisy,he really looks very sweet and like he has lots of character.My greyhound would love him.x
What a great looking grey! Maybe if he had a friend they could keep eachother busy. My boy is getting a friend in June and we are lucky he isn't a counter surfer. Thank you very much. He is the perfect greyhound! Just like your boy is to you.
At first he could not get down, and we would walk in and hear him whining. We then had to pick up him (84 lbs), and put him down. He has now mastered it! We thought of trying to keep him off but feel badly that he's just trying to see out to watch for us to return. Now, we accomodate him by making sure there is nothing on the counter in his way!
