Guest Amis_Ma Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 We don't yet have our yard fenced in (brand new house), so we brought Ami to a fenced in soccer field in hopes that she could take advantage of the freedom. I was excited to see her strut her stuff but after sniffing the perimeter of the fence and a quick sprint she decided it was time to call it a day I for sure ran more than she did just trying to convince her to run! She looked at me as if to say, "Ma I'm retired" in a sassy sarcastic teenaged tone I love my girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFullHouse Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Put another greyhound out there with her and I'll bet she'd run.

greysmom Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Over the years, I've noticed they tend to want to run only every four days or so, just like they would at the track. Especially if they raced for a significant period of time. Most days are just sniffing or some muzzle jousting, but every four or five days they all get a wild hair up their collective butts and it's off to the races!

TINMANPDX Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 There is a 50/50 chance ours will run when given the opportunity. The only exception is at the beach - they love the sand and water and run like crazy there.

antisense Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 JJ's sole mission at the dog park when he is alone (and he is always alone... he doesn't get along with other breeds) is to mark and mark and mark the perimeter of the fence He's an completely different dog when with his greyhound pals: he'll run and play and roll in the grass until he's tired, then he'll solicit scritches from the humans Quote Jammin Jock ✿ Greyt Blog ✿ Pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreytHoundPoet Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I only had a single Greyhound for a few months before I adopted a second...and eventually ended up with 4 plus a Galgo and 2 Ibizans. He was a little less active until I added another Greyhound. He didn't care to run alone (but he will play alone). Now, all of mine run every single day for a decent amount of time, even my almost 10 year old first boy. They get restless if they can't run one day due to horrible weather or something. I have always had a higher energy household than many Greyhound homes and my dogs have always been very fit and active. I have thousands of running pictures on my computer since I stay out there with them while they run and play.

GreyhoundGirl Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I had Dart for 5 years and never once saw him run. We would go to the dog park and people would be all excited because they thought they were going to see a Greyhound run. What they saw a Greyhound do was pee EVERYWHERE and then lay under a tree and sleep (yes, he slept at the dog park, he was that laid back). Molly will run and run and run and run to people for petting and attention. After that she will deign to run, if she feels like it. Mason will...stand next to me. He's a mama's boy.
