Holy smokes. Anyone involved with dog behaviour or training or welfare should know NOT to introduce unfamiliar dogs this way, especially greyhounds with non-greyhounds. Staff at a rescue/shelter should know proper procedures, and use them always. Best wishes though.

Thank you... I stopped the video when I saw all the heartbreaking comments about them picking the prettiest dog not the one who chose them. I'm going to foster adopt mine I'm thinking 2 at once so they get to "grow" together. I read if I foster they grow with how I do things and who lives here my 2 kids now big enough to have almost any size dog. We will have 3 budgies too so they will learn to respect their space at the same time. Couldn't think of a better fit for my family they sleep up to 18 hours a day need very limited walking and so well mannered off the bat.

One, why bring you AUNTS dog/pet to the adoption. Two, if you had a cat and/or dog then bring your own. Greyhounds are very accepting, if you did proper research then you would know that. Three, besides your boyfriend doesn’t want one anyway, you can tell by his face. My first dog was a Greyhound, and this “shelter” is not providing proper nutrition to them. Yes, Greyhounds are skinny and bony, but not this bad. You can tell by the spine and hips. I have fostered many dogs over the years with reputable organizations but this... This video is horrible in too many ways

Wow. Your reasons / motivations for choosing or discarding a dog are frightening. This video made me swing between disbelief and sadness.

Criteria for dog "shopping" for their new family member; Color? She's not a sweater. Age; A grey can share many loving years with them at eight or or develop an osteosarcoma and die in four heart breaking weeks. That dog interaction test with another dog that doesn't even live with them? The aunt should just let them keep her dog for the two weeks it will take for them to resent that dog and take her back to the aunt. The adoption group should make their usual home visit and see the apartment with a bed, bowls and toys. She'll most likely chew the couch and unstuff some pillows while left alone as she won't know the difference. It will her busy and happy while they are at work. Finally, the "pee in the house" issue he wanted no part of? Guess what. I'm happy to have had eight greys in my life. The groups each matched my dog to me. We've all had a great time together.

This constant parading of dogs in and bringing back the top contenders is like a beauty contest or selecting the best dress. I have never seen greyhound rescues allowing this method of choosing a dog. Usually a potential adopter is allowed to bring a dog home with them on a trial period to see how well the particular dog adjusts to your home and routine, training , etc. and you either decide that that the dog is a good fit with your home and lifestyle or you bring the dog back. I think that a potential adopter is allowed to trial a total of 2 dogs in a rescue. Any greyhound rescue/adoption should be vetting you and ascertaining if you really have the commitment it takes to care for a dog for the rest of her or his life and if you know what is involed.

It depends on what you’re looking for, so if you want certain attributes in a dog or any animal it’s best to take your time and get to know the dogs before fully committing to it.

they have NO chemistry with diamond what the fuckkkkkk. truly lit up when she saw them. She has an adorable personality and look smh

When adopting a dog the most important thing is that only the people and animals you LIVE with not your aunts random dog that has a neurotic energy, (over excitement is not something you should praise) should come with you to meet the dog. You definitely want to nurture calm balanced energy . I think you guys really need to focus on you guys and the dog.

I hope that you still have the dog because you seem totally unaware of how dogs behave. You discarded dogs because they were "too rambunctious". They were simply excited at being out of the kennel. You panic and ask "what was that" when Kelsey initiated play and demonstrated that she was the boss. I have owned many 'long dogs' (old gypsy word for Greyhounds and Lurchers,) over the years and love them.

Looking for a match to ensure the dog and the family are going to be successful together. Many dogs get returned because people dont take the time to do this.

Greyhounds are in fact jumpy around other dogs, especially ones who've only know the race track their whole life. This is for safety reasons for both the greyhound and others as well. The tension wasn't from those holding the leash it was from the greyhounds thrusting at the other dog.

Honestly I don’t think this place was very professional because of the muzzles and the fact that the place wasn’t really puppy proofed because of the decorations and stuff on the desks. They also had to bring the dogs out side which makes me think that the the greys are being mistreated. Also, it doesn’t seem like they were really ready for a dog. They don’t look excited and they had to see all the dogs multiple times to know which one they liked. When I got my puppy I knew instantly that it was her that I was going to choose.

I've had several greyhounds and lurchers over the years and I highly recommend them as a pet. All mine have been bone idle, funny and affectionate with unique personalities. I will always have this type of dog.

I think the Portuguese Water Dog's probably a little freaked out by the giant plastic muzzle getting in her grill and bits more than anything. Probably not seen one like it before.

I'm a dog and cat lover, the hubby is more of a cats-only person. In discussing potentially adopting a dog someday, he's more open to adopting an older dog because he thinks they may be calmer (health-costs aside). If it wasn't a match, at least we would have a relatively shorter time frame and we'd give the dog the best final years of their life possible instead of sitting out their days at a shelter. We also made the decision to adopt only black coated (and older) cats because they are the least to get adopted, everyone seems to want kittens. So far, we've adopted three older, black cats, all with health issues that no one else wanted. We were able to give the cats a nice few years at the end of their lives. We wouldn't change a thing - although difficult when it was time to go over the rainbow bridge, they gave more to us than we ever could have imagined. Our lives are better for it. It was disappointing to hear them comment on picking the 'prettiest' one.

You Tube needs to give you an award for taking thelongest time to get to the point

I would've taken the 8 year old. Senior hounds, best hounds. Out last Grey was given up by a family at 9 and we took her in at 10. We shared a wonderful 4 years with BB the Wonder Hound.

“We haven’t seen a brindle yet..” “No we haven’t.” *diamond walks out with brindle patterns* *adopts diamond* Truly was super cute, I would have adopted her, especially considering your dog really liked her, but that’s just me. Then again I didn’t meet these dogs.

Awww just came across this video. Very cute! Greyhounds are truly great dogs and I hope you guys have been enjoying yours. I've had mine now for 4 years and she really has been my little princess.

I have lived with three Greyhounds, the first one choose me. The second was when taking my dog for a group walk organised monthly by the kennels. Someone had returned a dog because he barked too much. I ended up going home with two dogs. After many happy years I sadly lost both within a short while of each other. After a period of time I felt I was ready to have a other and asked at the kennels which one they had most trouble rehoming . It was an 18 month who had been retired because of a leg injury, and had been bought back three times for being aggressive to other dogs, pulling hard on her lead , and being to boisterous. Five years on and we are still together, she is a lot of work but I wouldn't have anything else. What I am trying to say is all dogs are individuals and all deserve their forever homes.

oml watching this video again shows how un dog savvy these people are. A greyhound was 'too big'?? They're big dogs, if you don't like big dogs don't go looking for them?lmao. And everyone knows you shouldn't force dogs to be sniffed, thats their vulnerable place and she could of bitten the greyhound. I could go on but you get it.

I know this video is old, but holy crap, the amount of dog 'experts' in the comment section is completely insane. Dogs are not one size fits all, and the couple was choosing a dog based on what the qualities were, and they probably weren't ready for a higher energy dog, would you have rather they end up with a dog they didn't want and they put them back in the rescue. You're not paying for the dog, leave them alone.

Good job, you two. I hope that Diamond (still her name?) worked out for you. I would love to think she did. I personally have 3 ex-racing greys and often foster (on top of) when I can. Every hound adopted (even a humble lurcher) is a hound given a chance at the life they deserve and probably would never otherwise have. In fact, it often means a hound saved from euthanasia. You have saved a life. You couldn't take them all. You picked the one you thought was right. I salute you! To everyone who doesn't have one of their own, there are endless more still waiting for a forever home. You will know when you are ready - and they are waiting for that magical moment. Best wishes

Overall a really nice video. I like the area that is used for meet and greets. Interactions are usually rather stressful- they dogs aren't sure what's going on and everything is new. The humping is usually indicative of over-stimulation; it's not always a sign of '"dominance". The hounds are often rambunctious at first meeting- they're excited. The dog you meet and potentially choose often changes once they settle in to their new home. I adopted a very obnoxious youngster (he had just turned 2) who turned into the laziest hound I've ever had! However, he's extremely smart and a trouble maker so I have to watch him lol. He's content to potty outside and come right back in to continue napping! I adopted an 8 year old and he had more energy than my younger hounds! He always wanted to play and loved his walks. You never know what personality you'll get once they become your dog : ) Oh, and by the way, boys marking is not their fault. It's ours for not keeping them on lead in the house and watching them carefully. I know some females who mark worse than all the boys!!

I trusted the adoption folk to use their knowledge to pair me with the ideal hound, and they did. he was 4 years old, raced a hundred races in 2 years. almost all black. when we got home, he just walked in and was happy.

btw, I have had a lot of dogs, prolly 6 or 7 in my life, my greyhound leaves them all in the dust as the best choice I ever made.

I find it rather strange that there is no second video or explanation as to why. I hope you are both still together and caring for this dog.

I'm very close with them. They broke up and the dog is now a homeless alcoholic.

They are not the right people for this dog. 6 years later and we still waiting for the 2nd day.

I've always had greyhounds I've never lived without them they're my whole life my parents adopted Prince and Cassie when I was four Cassie sadly passed away first and then Prince did 2 years later half a year later we adopted my greyhound Jill who was found in Ireland she is now ten years old and we adopted her when she was just 6 months she's now on her last legs she is the best dog 2 weeks ago we adopted a 12 wk old greyhound who they couldn't race because they didn't know who the father was lucky for her. Her brothers and sisters were took to hunting and she was the only one they could save. So don't buy dogs of the internet they're are perfectly good dogs in adoption shelters and rescues centres that are probably alot more loving and haven't had a great start in life and want the rest of they're life to just be loved and want to love u some people think greyhounds need alot of excersize but actually they're the easiest dogs they can have a 20 mins run and their flat out on the sofa all day then so don't buy dogs adopt them😘😘

Greyhounds are beautiful dogs. I love them., Sandy (Dan Lee's wife)

I have two greythounds, stormy and suan, half brothers, I saw the black female I wanted her, some reason black greyhounds are adopted the least, you can not just have one,,, you will get a second one, enjoy her

Am i the only one who got a bitter taste after watching this video?

Love to see a follow up video!

I feel for the first one. Not picked because she’s 8 and might only have 5-6 more years left is bad enough then to keep getting her hopes up by bring her out 4 times.

Please can we get a follow up video? How are things going now? Thank you.

thanks for sharing this! we are adopting a greyhound soon and I loved sharing your journey!

Oh, I liked the black one. I already had a name picked out - Dotty

lol quite obvious the centre were hiding diamond

And? The muzzles are a very strange sight - Would love to see more videos of Diamond! Luckily I only had a choice of one and as I had already fallen in love with his pictures on the rescue group's FB page it was very exciting to finally bring him home.

Diamond's a great looking dog.

I heard you went to Applebee's to celebrate the big win! Wish I could have made it but I was excommunicated from the family! Maybe next time! But there's never enough thyme!

I really don’t understand why you even brought your aunts dog with you. It would be different if it was your dog but you weren’t even petting the greyhounds or trying to get to know their personality yourselves. Also, you shouldn’t be introducing dogs for the first time leashed and tense like that. I hope you chose based off personality, not just looks since it seemed like that was your main concern.

She's like shopping for a purse. So much cringe.

Thank you for adopting

whichever you decide, just love her - she will love you five times back.:)

We got our two greyhounds, Monte and Piper, about 2 yrs ago. We never plan to get another breed of dog again. Greyhounds from here on out.m I wonder how things are with Jack and Jess's greyhound Diamond 2 yrs later.

Interesting little video and I wish you all the success going. Bryan

I think you're the best dog ;]

I don't care for your thought process.

woah such hyper dogs...you need to see my border terriers they are super crazy. these greyhounds are super chill compared to them.

Girl 😭 I saw the thumbnail for this video many times and I skipped over it because I thought you were a 13 y/o girl LMAO. You look young.

i liked the black one

This video is top search ranking, I wondered what happened to day 2+ from here... Please continue the journey and fill in on things like pricing that most people dont' cover.

How are you guys holding out in the snow? I live near Seattle. In chehalis

Congrats on your new furbaby

ahhh so cute, i love these adoption videos (I'm planning on adopting a Grey as soon as I have the place for one) I think you guys made a "greyt" choice!

Well done! Valuable story for those thinking of adopting. Did they not allow you to walk them outside? Nothing critical, but just another way to learn how they act without distractions. Regardless, Diamond looks like a great companion!

I feel terrible for the dog they adopted.
