@crjoker i've been there once, it's huge, the down side is that they seperated into like 3 dog parks, and it's a bit too big, cuz my dog would run really far and i can't even keep an eye on him, my favorite by far is the dog park at sunset park, it's a decent size, really nice landscapes, won't hurt to check it out :D btw i llive in Southern Highlands, so every dog park in town is very far from my house :(
I have a retired/rescued greyhound racer myself, and he doesn't do much... until he's at the dog park. I took him to the dog park once when there were a lot of other dogs there. A guy was throwing a tennis ball, and all of the other dogs went after it, but him. We thought the other owners would think our dog was lame, so we took him to the group of dogs, hoping he'd fetch. But when the guy threw the ball, he ZOOMED past all the other dogs in one second, but he didn't even pick up the ball. x)
@LucarioLoverGirl My female, Amelie, is the fastest of my three. She will frequently get in the face of a German Shepherd or other large dog and then take off just to punk them. No dogs ever catch her until she did it one day to a retired racer named Max. Amelie was in a full sprint and looked over her shoulder to find Max on top of her, barely trying. She screamed and ran back to me. It was pretty funny.
My IG Sirius is built just like your girl Amelie. He's got that Whippet look to him, and he's edging up on 16lbs!
I feel bad for him at the park. Unless another IG his size shows up, he ends up lonely. The other dogs run with him for a bit, then they get tired of not catching him and just ignore him. My other dog is a Chi/IG mix, and he's fast, but more like a Chihuahua in social situations (ie: he sits between my ankles and gets shy). I'll be getting another IG next year I think.
Oh I am sure. I am part of a Las Vegas IG group and my female is one of the fastes IG's I have seen in Vegas. She's built like a small Whippet. But the one time she got her ass handed to her was from a retired racer. She taunted him and took off, then looked over her shoulder, arrogantly, only to find that the Greyt was on top over her. She shreiked! It really took her down a few knotches. To technically, this video should be named "Some of the Fasted Dogs..."
I loved this!! Thanks for posting such a fun and wild video of your crew. My IG videos are total opposite from yours. But you have inspired me to try and get some good dog park video with cool music.
That's a great idea. Remember, the music does most of the work. I could upload a video of one of my dogs sleeping. Booooring! But, if I set that video to a lulabye, suddenly its sweet and adorable. Let the music do all the work.
Beautiful...... I have a retired racer, she used to love to run when we first got her off the track. (She is older and lazier now.....) I remember when she would be running in a huge circle in the field, people would be exclaiming in wonderment, and then for the sheer joy of it, she would accelerate. Jaws would then drop. She could seriously take flight. Right now she is doing the "dead cockroach" position on the couch. Thanks for the video. I love to see animals exulting in their abilities
Cheeky dogs, so cute though. I am a proud of a full size Grey, and it's fun watching him out run other dogs at the park...makes for a great work out for all dogs interested.
We work with IG rescue groups. Even the ones that have never been socialized, came from puppy mills or been abused are STILL neat little guys. They are still incredibly affectionate and respond very well to a loving home.
I would never pretend that an IG could run as fast as a Greyt, but my blue female IG can hold her own against the few retired racers that come to our dog park.
I got my puppy from the Pet Rescue where i live in Oregon. I adopted him at 8 mounths old and he is now 10 mounths old. He is half Chihuahua/Minature Pinscher. He looks a little big Itallian Greyhound because of his Body shape, long legs and arms. strong chest, little butt. Is that the shape of an Itallian Greyhound?
Min Pins are actually a cross between Italian Greyhound and a Dachshund. Your dog could very well be an Italian Greyhound mix. Pet Rescues can not always tell exactly what breeds are in a mix. Take him to a dog park and watch him run. If he is fast, he probably has Italian Greyhound in him.
They're so cool :) Italian GH's are smaller than the normal racing ones, aren't they? O.o That's probably a dumb question, but I'm interested in adopting Greyhounds off the track someday and I was just curious.
Yes, Italian Greyhounds are the smallest of the sighthounds and the tiny cousin to the full racing greys. A 20lb IG would be considered large. My female, the blue/grey one, is 18lbs.
That is great that you want to adopt a racing grey. They need homes! Greyhounds, large and small, are the most loving, affectionate dogs I have ever seen.
ur grey hounds are fast and awesome!! :D
