I’ve got a bearded collie that can outrun and outmaneuver pretty much any dog at the park. Until one day there was a greyhound. She was so frustrated when she just couldn’t catch him or avoid his lunges. She loved it but was so confused and worn out by the end.

What I'm hearing is greyhounds need to be a hireable service for people with high energy working dogs. Puts their hyperactive legs and brains to work while the greyhound gets light exercise.

No really. Other people at the park have offered to pay my greyhound to wear their dogs out. It's quite impressive.

I had a grey and there was a guy at the park who asked if his GSD and my greyhound could play together. 

Bro GSDs are FAST, they are great dogs for focus and determination but in short bursts it was not a fair competition. 

Have you ever seen a GSD get frustrated before? This was my first time and I thought it both a little sad and a lot hilarious.

I got my GSD to help with my rottiedoodle’s behavioral issues. Figure they would have a good energy match. NOPE. She outruns by miles

And you're standing there thinking "that's the most this dog has moved in three months."

Right??? He's so lazy, unless he gets an itch for the zoomies. Then it's 60 seconds and back to nap time.
