This is such an important thing to make potential new owners aware of. I started with greyhound rescue back in the 1970s and over the years had many other breeds from chihuahuas to Great Danes! And I found this applied to all dogs. What you see is definitely not necessarily what you will get, long term. I did long term follow up and help with all my dogs and knew it’d be fine at first but…I’d get people saying, what the heck happened, after a few weeks. Also they behaved differently with me to their new family. Anybody taking on a second hand dog needs to be very aware, especially with high drive dogs, and anybody rehoming needs to be prepared to help. I rarely had one ‘bounce’ when I learned this, and how to deal with it, very careful assessments of dog and people, and follow ups.
So true! we have to be open minded...and its lovely to watch them grow

After about being rather a broken little soul, Emma has flourised to be the most loving little hound you can imagine. It took endless amounts of love and patience to where we are today❤
That's brilliant! Lovely to hear 💙
It's taken 6 months for our boy Rey to do zoomies (amd what a joy it is to see!). As you said Jill, it can take a while for them to feel relaxed enough to let their full personality come out.
It's worth the wait tho
I got my new greyhound last week. She's a 7 years 11months old female, brindle with a grey face. Only 2 wee wee accidents so far but it was on the mat at the side door and the door was closed. I was busy washing up and didn't see the signs.
Wow, they can move so fast! Three prancing bounds is all it takes to cover about 8 metres up the backyard; all in half a second!
All in all, I'm really happy with her. She loves attention!
Congratulations on the new addition to your family 😍
@@jwcaninecare Thanks. ❤
Wise words Jill. I'm going thru this with my new girl. I was told that she never went onto the furniture (or showed any interest in doing so!) at her previous home.. and then I caught her on the doggy-cam the first night going up on the sofa! I'm quite fine with it - it's not a problem - but it just illustrates the difference in her behaviours from one home to another.. I was told that she was a "picky eater" but so far, (7 weeks in), she's eaten all her meals with great gusto and has already put on 1.25kg in that time - she's still got a way to go as she was ultra skinny when returned. I'm so proud of how she's doing and how brave she's being. She's even started having a poo and a wee on a walk - where previously she was too anxious to do this. So little by little I can see her turning into the dog she was always meant to be.. I think it will be a long time before she "gets there" but there's no rush.. she can acclimate at her own speed - no pressure from me.
thank you - i've learned to take a previous homes experiences with a pinch of salt ;-)
Took Daisy a long long time to warm to anyone else but once she did that was it,
Oh Jill, bless your patience and determination to give the pack a great life!
Whatever is going on with gremlins, it wasn't possible to leave a comment on the livestream. Might be the eclipse interfering for all I know.
Thank you so much! I know others had that problem too, not sure what was happening
I found it very interesting how much our Bo changed during the first 2 years. We also had to get a bit stricter regarding snacks when we ate.
It's fascinating to watch, and share that process with them :-)
Greyhounds are the best.
Hi Jill..thank you always for your videos. My newly (2 months now) adopted greyhound is very comfortable at my home. Sasha is 5 yrs so quite different from my previous greyhound at 11 years when I adopted him. More energy but just as sweet and loving. Greyhounds are the best❤️😇from Jean.
Thanks for sharing!!
Could not agree more with you blinder has his retirement down to a tee at 1st he was after food when we had are food but I found if we fead him 1st he lays on his bed no problem and waits to see if anything he can hover up when I come in from work he has his 5 minutes off fuss and than he just waits for his walk and he picked up his new life so Quickly but we do have to go different places every day for a walk which is great for me and him he gets bored if same old place he is differently a daddys boy love you content and Channel
He sounds wonderful!
Ive had my greyhound for 2 years. Recently she has started to freeze on the morning walk, which is familiar to her. I can't understand why and it can take a long time to get her moving again. Does she want something from me? (She stands and looks at me.) Is there a threat I'm not aware of? Once she gets moving she's fine. The honeymoon is definitely over and she is very settled with me and very sociable with my friends and other dogs. She is very playful and seems happy. Any ideas?
It could new smells from a new dog or cat in the area. Daisy didn’t like changes to routine at all.
It can be so many things, happening at the time, or having happened previously. Their senses are so much better than ours it can be hard to figure out what they are noticing, but there will be something!
