GREYHOUND prey drive. Chasing squirrels in the woods with a GO PRO camera 

My daily dose of Princess Fairy..she is such a beauty...I had a Lurcher in his 9 years he only caught one 🐿 boy was he chuffed..carried it round for about 2 hours on our walk..it did nip his lip but that didnt deter him..whilst i hate any animals being hurt..it was perhaps old and not as fast as the other 🐿 in the woods.❤

She is very sweet, but the hunting drive is huge! Love her speed and agility 😍

Hello! That was a lovely romp with Fairy and her go pro. I heard you with your squeaker waaay over yonder, but she was busy! That is a lovely safe woods for her to romp in. Here in Nebraska, the woods around our house are thick with nettles in high summer. Your understory is very clean. Her lounging area in your van looked perfect. Thank you for sharing.

How Cool Is This!?! You Never Get To See Things From The Dog's Point Of View & So Fast, Almost Like Riding A Motorcycle Through The Woods. Thank You. (Like #278)

No squirrels were harmed in the making of this production, 🤣😂🤣 but Fairy had a whale of a time! Such fun, thank you.

Another wonderful, and informative, video. Thank you. Fairy really is a lovely girl.

Fairy is wonderful and energetic! I like to see her engaged and happy, especially running fast.

I think Fairy will be dreaming of squirrels, squirrels, and more squirrels!

That's such a nice place to bring Fairy, I wish there was a secure country park around me. Nice trip!

Fairy's gray, w/ the pink look so nice together! :) Like seeing the squirrel's homes in the trees, very neat! Ty for taking us alone in Fairy's woodland adventure. :) Love, & Blessings, to you, & yours. :)

Another great fairy video. Thank you

Fairy is fantastic!!

Yes we worry so, when they get so excited and don’t wait for us. Awhhh. But we love them so much, even when they are naughty. Hihi. ( huge smile ) We just got back from a hike also :-)

Fairy’s ears are just lovely ….🐾💫⚡️✨Precious Girl enjoying her squirrel chasing adventure🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾💫⚡️✨

Look at those ears. She growls!

4:50 Go Fairy, go! LOVE this! Thank you for sharing this beautiful animal with us. I always enjoy your videos. And I do love how Fairy hears her mamas voice and comes! If I did as much running as Fairy, I wouldn't weigh 170 lbs.!! LOL Her face is so gentle and sweet looking. Thumbs up! (Well, she did come a little to you)! LOL ♥

Fairy is truly fantastic and lovely! I have a greyhound, but I try not to use treats after she has run off because she may think it's a reward for chasing. If I manage to see a squirrel first, prevention works better as my grey responds well to "leave it" :)

Once Fairy's ear's point up straight , slightly touching...it's on!

Lol, love how Fairy kept looking towards your voice but the call of a squirrel sighting was more enticing! Love this girl. You're a great mum/dog owner. Blessings to you and your family and of course beautiful Fairy. She has so much character.😍

Epic video, thanks!

Great video, i had the same issue with the lercher I rescued from the kennels. Its apart of their nature so let her enjoy herself. Fairy is an absolutely lovely looking dog. Wish i still had mine. Thanks again.

Fairy is going to be dreaming about squirrels tonight after this run for the squirrels!

Thank you for sharing :) love your channel!

You can never train out breed characteristics you can only modify them to a point.You are doing a great job with her and understand dogs.Does she give you her eyes yet as in looking right into your eyes?

Prey drive is the reason she chases the ball too. So you’re also developing her prey drive.

I loved running with Fairy, it made me happy! That's a perfect day for a dog getting to run and chase those pesky squirrels. I liked your squirrel shots and seeing them going in and out of their nest. And a very lovely park too😃😃😃

I wondered if she was barking up the wrong tree, but no!

Wait what.. watching mums bum! 😂 awesome your journeys though ❤

Some greyhounds can live with cats safely; some cannot because of their prey drive apparently. Rhodesian Ridgebacks are not always safe around cats because of their prey drive. ( I experienced that firsthand as a pet sitter when a client had Rhodesians and cats. One of the dogs was especially prey driven. The other one wasn’t. I loved both dogs and the cats but tragedy did happen.)

What a beautiful dog 😊 the reason she doesn't want any treats when chasing squirrels/prey is because she has to keep the squirrels scent on her senses and treats / food will make her lose the scent 👍

❤❤❤

But she had a great time

Fairy might be terribly disappointed if she actually caught a squirrel or cat, as she has not taken into consideration that they have weapons with which to hurt her. But there is really very little chance of her doing that, as you are so careful. I think she did quite well, staying w/in sight & sound of you despite her strong prey drive. You've done a very good job of training her, & I'm sure she is thinking, "I've got to work on training my human better, she just has to learn to run fast enough to keep up with me!"

Has she ever caught anything?

❤❤❤😅😅😅😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉

You need to let her enjoy being a dog. She has spent a good portion of her life already without any kind of freedom.

Did you put food down for the squirels to feed on then let ur dog hunt them? cause you had a camera at ground level, If thats the case , your not a good owner. We have greyhounds here in Sth Aust & I have never seen one of them go after anything.
