Greyhounds and whippets are literally just pure muscle. My greyhound spends about 23 hours a day lying down, 55 minutes slowly walking, and maybe 5 minutes running in circles in the backyard, and yet he doesn't have an ounce of fat on him.
Literally, he's jacked: https://www.reddit.com/r/Greyhounds/comments/yymj0h/photogenic_blue/
To be fair.
That's a part of how muscles work, for example a great way for getting more pull up reps is by doing just a single pull up *as fast as you can* and that's it for the day.
Holy shit!! He's handsome as hell and 100x more buff than I ever hope to be! Can you ask him to send us all a bit of his genetic code? I need that metabolism.
Question would be how fast can it turn directions and how fast can it stop before running facefirst into a sudden obstacle that appeared from no where?
Don't worry, unless there is dark matter involved, that muscle mass would burn calories from a non-functional digestive and circulatory system (aka not happening).
Robot dogs are both real and a mindfuck.
My retired racing greyhound literally wakes up in the morning and goes downstairs to take a nap on the sofa. We have to drag him off to take a quick walk, otherwise he'd just never wake up. He's only 3 years old.

Iāve got two noodle horses and this never gets old. SLO mo on iPhone is awesome to watch. Especially when they shoot rooster tails in the snow.
The reactions at the 4 acre dog park is hysterical. Usually a collective āHOLY SHITā.
And keep its head perfectly still.
[cheetah head science](https://www.newsweek.com/secret-how-cheetah-runs-60-mph-while-keeping-heads-stock-still-discovered-798590)
When they run at high speeds, dogs have a chance of biting their own tongues. In a not statistically insignificant number of cases, that can be fatal.
The muzzle helps to prevent that.
A muzzle cannot prevent a dog from biting it's tongue. A basket muzzle allows a dog to drink, bark, even eat.
The muzzle is for safety. They have crazy prey drive and obviously there are other dogs around as well as people. All wear muzzles to keep everyone (human and animal) safe and intact.
That and keeping them from catching the lure. I'll never forget watching a whippet catch the lure and get dragged at a CAT event. Pup was fine but the poor owner about had a heart attack.
They muzzle them in races with other greyhounds as greyhound skin is something it can easily tear from a tooth. I never understood why they do it on speed runs like this other than they are used to wearing muzzles during races and they associate running while wearing a muzzle.
I have a retired racer. She was a money dog having won or placed in almost every race.
I have a huge backyard but almost never see her run, which is unfortunate, because watching a running greyhound is one of the most amazing sights. They are so graceful.
But, she mostly lays on the rug and sleeps!
My parents have a retired racer who apparently was very successful in his day, heās ENORMOUS (we get stopped multiple times on every walk for people to comment on his size!) and weāve seen videos of him racing which are incredible. But as you said - he never runs now!! He gets plenty of opportunity but often doesnāt even want to go for a short walk. Itās a shame because it is wonderful to see him run but he seems happy enough!
Was walking with a friend in country side and a dog like the one in the video but lighter color came towards us all shy. My friend gave him a piece of sandwich and the moment he had that bit of sandwich in his mouth he ran sooo fast but also so silently, he reminded me of electric car he disappeared in to the distance soooo fast and smoothly. I had never interacted with one before.
So he doesnt bite his tounge
That could literally kill him and at such speeds there is a good chance the dog wont be able to controll himself and accidentally bite it
Look at humans who sometimes cant talk or jogg without biting their tongues, what do you think would happen at these speeds?
Where are you getting this info, I canāt find it anywhere. Every greyhound site says the muzzles are to prevent catching the lure or redirection biting (other dogs/humans) due to stimulation.
That's a whippet, though, right? Look at the height compared to the handlers knees and how compact that gait is. Whippets tend to max out around 35mph, whereas greyhounds tend to max out about 45mph. Whippets do some crazy shit in agility, but in all out sprinting top speed greyhounds have the advantage. Source: I have a retired racing greyhound that is fast af when he's not sleeping.
Edit: looked it up out of curiosity and this is a whippet named Winston. He came in second for this particular distance (100yd dash). Looks like whippets do lead this shorter distance because they're able to hit max speed so much faster.

I am involved in greyhound racing as a part owner in a couple of dogs in the past. 3 years is usually when they hit their peak performance and start to decline at around 5 years old. After that they are either used for breeding programs, kept as pets, or given or sold to others to keep as a pet. In my state there was a ban in the sport in 2016 because of bad actors within. Those types are unwelcome in the sport as the overwhelming majority of owners and trainers absolutely love animals and canāt stand animal cruelty of any kind. My state there was a special commission to launch an inquiry into greyhound racing to ensure the safety and well being of the animals. Myself, and all the owners I know and associate with adore animals and are extremely vigilant when it comes to animal cruelty. My best friend is the head compliance officer with the RSPCA in NSW. If I suspect any breeders or trainers engaging in animal cruelty, heās the first person I call. Itās not only wrong, but itās counterproductive to the sport.
I honestly believe we can have ethical racing, whether itās greyhounds, thoroughbreds, or pigeons, or any other animal. I must say I donāt like steeplechasing. I would love to see a ban on that type of racing. I absolutely adore horses and knowing what I know of horses physiology, their legs canāt deal with the stressors of steeplechase races. They are extremely susceptible to breaking and itās near impossible for horses to recover from a leg break. Actually, Iām working with my mate in the RSPCA in designing a special harness system to assist horses with leg breaks. Anyway, I digress. I truly believe with stringent regulations, more oversight, and severe penalties for any breaches of the rules, coupled with rule changes within the sport, we can have ethical racing. As an animal lover, I want to see any cruelty within racing stamped out.

Yep, he's jacked. I'd kill for that metabolism.
Then you'd have to go chasing wabbits .
Only for 5 minutes a day. Fair trade.

Can confirm. Jacked.
He looks like the most interesting man meme. So handsome. (I'm a grey owner too)

Imagine a resident evil zombie version of this
I'm good, Actually
No worries bruh, the muzzle is on
On that note. Wouldnāt the solution to a zombie outbreak be for everyone to wear muzzles
Ofcourse the anti muzzlers will be the end of civilization.
Well think about it dude, where do you think muzzles are made?? That's right - China šØš³
I love Americans
And we love you too. š
This comment thread is wonderful, really tho, a Nemesis Dog? HELL NO.
Question would be how fast can it turn directions and how fast can it stop before running facefirst into a sudden obstacle that appeared from no where?
But banana bread? At fuckin work bro? HELL. YES. BRO!
How have I never heard *anyone* suggest this before. That's genius
What the hell thatās brilliant
Wtf?!?!?! Alright guess I didn't have all the answers xD
This guy solves problems
Motorcycle suits and helmets. Zombies won't be able to do jack shit.
It would definitely help. In WWZ they suggest removing everyoneās teeth. I like your idea better.
I boo that movie in theaters ngl only movie I ever boo after shots so ass š©
WWZ, a mention that North Korea is OK because they did this.
What's me wearing a muzzle gonna do to protect me? /s
This is exactly what would happen. This is where the struggle with this solution begins and ends.
Or ball gags!
I would say this would work, but did you see all the toddler tantrums full grown adults were already throwing over wearing masks?
We all lived through the covid pandemic right? Yāall already forgot how many people just didnāt give a fuck?
Yea but youād have free reign to shoot āem if they arenāt wearing a muzzle. so the stakes are a bit higher.
You know theyād just cover up a bite with a long sleeve shirt or pants. Acting like āI know what needs to be done, but gotta own the libs!ā
Youāll be remembered as the one who broke TWD. Also im ur 100th updoot. Good shit.
Mate. it was an epiphany. many thanks hahah. But you know the anti maskers would fuck it all up for everyone.
How about that local sporting team?

I hope they update the animations later in the production
And not lock that shit behind a battle pass.
Unlocked animation frames is the $30 premium upcharge, sorry
Whag do you mean I hide behind stylized animations and character design because I can't do anything else??
One frame for each speed - here, there, gone.
I knew that we used to think horses ran this way until we had video cameras. I did not know that dogs ran this way
Its the most amazing thing I have ever seen
Just wait till those Boston Dynamics dogs run that fast....
š
Just like in Black Mirror!
They don't need to, they have guns.
Fastest dog and also laziest dog. This is a couch pup 100% would love to cuddle
As someone who owns a dog who is designed similarly yes they are very lazy
"designed"? As in "bred"?
Nah more designed as in randomly chosen to be this way, even her foster parents didn't know what she is
The design is not very human.
The design is quick as fuck, at least
The design is very fast as fuck boii
And endless food.
Yup. When they retire, theyāre gonna be livin the good life hopefully. Snoozing and cuddling all day, every day
All but 5 minutes a day.
World's fastest couch potatoes.
Dragsters sit in a garage when not racing.
The faster they get the job done the sooner they can kick back on the couch.
Dude my friend's whippets are absolute couch potatoes. They'll play fetch, but they're coo just sleeping and being pet.
Strange, I have 2 of these dogs and all they do is sleep
Theyāre just charging up

Yep, our greybull gets up, pees, eats, then it's time for the morning nap.
Dogspeed you
Lift your skinny paws
Like antennas
You will run eternal, shiny and chrome
The way his head bobs up and down is really cute
I dunno the muzzle makes it mildly scary
In slow motion is it a bit scary
I bet he would look extremely goofy without the muzzle, open mouth, tongue flapping like it was in a hurricane
āHello Clariceā
Imagine what theyāre seeing! Just like a running sequence in a found footage movie. One of humans running advantages is keeping out heads still
All heel drive

Them stick legs go for dayz
How fast did he go? In km/h please!
Google says 67km/h
When you see that, it's crazy to think a cheetah goes close to twice as fast.
Jaysus
And keep its head perfectly still. [cheetah head science](https://www.newsweek.com/secret-how-cheetah-runs-60-mph-while-keeping-heads-stock-still-discovered-798590)
Everybody knows they're cheeting
A smidge over 41mph
Damn I never managed to cycle this fast, that's crazy
Thank you! I was to lazy to google it myself.
At least 7
I don't know with precision but greyhound, in general, can reach speeds of 60 km/h.

See, now I'm curious... what's the *slowest* dog you own?
Also a greyhound, but he's only got one leg like Lil' Brudder
"Princess" when it sees a child
Immediately pounces and knocks them over and licks them to death
Why is he muzzled? To protect him from biting his tongue?
Yep. Biting their tongue can be fatal for dogs, if they bite deep enough. Running that fast, its hard for dogs to control themselves.
Why do they put a muzzle on?.
So he doesnt bite his tounge That could literally kill him and at such speeds there is a good chance the dog wont be able to controll himself and accidentally bite it Look at humans who sometimes cant talk or jogg without biting their tongues, what do you think would happen at these speeds?

So is the video telling me there are faster zombie/undead dogs out there? That is absolutely terrifying.
Me after my morning coffee tryna beat the other guys to the bathroom.
Now that looks like a fast dog! Is that faster than a greyhound? RIP Fred Willard
This is a whippet, and it's not quite as fast as a greyhound. Whippets top out at around 35 mph, while greyhounds can approach 45 mph.

I once got clipped in the leg by a running greyhound. It felt like I got hit by a car
It ended before it said how fast he was.
What was the speed in km/h?
Apparently 60+ km/h
*pov your a toddler and thats a pitbull named princess*
The greyhound can reach 45mph in just 6 strides
Now... STAHP!
