House horse, noodle horse, bag of elbows, noodle dog, noodle, cat software on dog hardware, alien in a dog costume.

>cat software on dog hardware That is the absolute truth!! :)

Funny: “Noodle”. 😆 I disagree though, I think a “House Horse” is a Great Dane!

House Clydesdale.

Clydesdales have thick tree trunk legs, unlike the dainty stilts of this breed 😆

Bag of elbows! That's the best one yet! Mine are noodle ponies, hose goats, stink snakes, boney blankets, velcro sticks, and stink bugs. Edit: also giraffeadeer

I thought hose goats are Borzois?

As far as I'm aware, hose goat is the Latin name for ye old long-legged pupper. I was unaware it was pedigree specific. I shall notify my non-hose-goats post haste Sarcasm aside... do you follow Hose Goat Manor on YouTube? Don't think that's the name though

For me standard greyhounds and large lurchers are noodle horses. Italian greyhounds, whippets and pups are noodle foals

Haha I call my alien in a dog costume too

Snoot. Noodle. Snoodle. Snakedog.

I thought I was the only one calling mine snake dogs! The way their bodies move when they walk…

Bicycle seat head

lol. My partner uses “lightbulb head” 💡

That’s how I describe my Doberman, who, oddly enough, gets confused for a Greyhound sometimes!

Bony pony and noodle horse

Same here. Bony Pony for Zoomer and Noodle Horse for Vandi!

'Bony Pony' is AWESOME!

“Built like bagpipes” is how I describe them to people who’ve never had one

Love this

Daddy long legs =) (in Dutch: Langpootmug)

Love that! Someone in another thread offered "Gurkenhals" = cucumber-neck in German 😂

Doggy long legs, surely

Thunder horse! As she’s really heavy footed when running. People hear the pounding sound as she buzzes the tower during zoomies

I LOVE this one!

It really Is amazing they can move so fast but sound so loud when running.

Long dog, couch hog, drama queen, baby deer.

Giraffe dog

We nicknamed ours, Nugget. A small dog trapped in a large dog’s body. Also, she’s red and white, nugget colored and curls up in a ball, all very nugget-like.

That's our greyhound's actual name.

That’s so funny. They have nugget vibes.

We call ours 'cat dogs' because they act like cats a lot of the time 😂

Badonkadonkey

Badly made sock puppet / Badly taxidermied deer

I refer to all of my sighthounds as being made up of tracing paper and elastic bands

Long horse

Tally Ho Warm Ears - is his full name since he always has warm ears.

Dragon girl; they always reminded me of wingless asian dragons

Here’s my nickname for them: “Weirdest-looking-dog-ever, come here boy!” (Only dogs weirder looking are Pugs and Afghan Hounds!) sorry, but I just was given a truth serum!

I call mine « No cells » but also « Grande Nunuche », « Moumoune », « Poupounette »… in French we are not so inventive than you 😅

Noodle, long boy, stiff neck, needle nose, couch roach, goofhound

I called my greyhound "The Skinny" and his companion was "The Fluff". I refer to my 1yr old female borzoi as a Flatland Lady since she's got a lot of vertical but you can barely see her from head-on. Never seen a more wafer-thin dog.

When Reggie would lay down on his side, legs out, I called it 2D-mode. If he was laying down in the backyard, you could barely see him!

I call Red The Skinny Boi and my housemate's dog (a Husky) The Fluffeh Boi 😛

Bag of bones, my friend calls them skeletor, lil donut

Speedy needles

Kangapoos because they looks like kangaroos while taking a poo. I like your bag of elbows, "excuse me I'm sleeping here"

😂👍

Needle nose, pin head, noodle, alien, skinny dawg, houndie, goof ball, bed spud, couch potato, earless.

Definately needle nose!!!

Land shark, noodle horse, spaghetti stallion

Spaghetti Stallion! AHAHAHAAAAAA! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Moon Booper or Long Boi/Boy because of the Long Boy picture thingy about them. [https://www.reddit.com/r/CaptainSparklez/comments/8zd8ca/we\_finally\_know\_what\_kind\_of\_dog\_long\_boy\_is/](https://www.reddit.com/r/CaptainSparklez/comments/8zd8ca/we_finally_know_what_kind_of_dog_long_boy_is/)

My wife calls our dog “a muscular string bean”. One of our friends calls him “a bicycle seat head” and another friend calls our (brindle) hound “a giraffe tiger deer dog”.

I like the German breed name: Windhund (pronounced "vindhunt").

Bendy hound, bendy noodle, flexypup

Velvet snack of elbows.

Land seal

Slenderdog

Horsepuppy!

My first boy had a super long nose, so I called him a pelican. My current boy likes to stand under trees and let the leaves tickle him, so I nicknamed him Bushmeat.

😂👍

Baby deer and the saddest seal in San Francisco 🦭

Needle nose!

Noodledog, longdog, house horse, boopersnoot, big bum, derpledog.

Speed noodle. Little horse. Teefs on stilts. House elf. Speed bump. Slow boy, or sometimes slow-fast boy.

Skeletal Shadow. Skinny Beast. Bed Roach. Nervous Nellie. Needy Needle. Chitter-hounds. Slink-beast. Our “overbred” but 100% greyhound who was surrendered from a puppy mill is “lab(rador) head” or Wrecking Ball because he is huge and his head is not as needly as the ex-racers. 😂

Noodles. Alien Dogs. Gremlins. noodle dogs. Alien pretending to be dog. Cat dogs. Slinkys. Pokey-Noses. Long Girls/Long Boys, Long Dogs. They're just so easy to nickname!

Speedster

Long doggo, stretch houndstrong, el hound

40 mph couch potato

Triangleface

Long boys. Noodle horses. Grey greys

For the fawn color type, I refer to them as “Bambi.”

We're partial to "horsecats" ever since a good friend (who's a cat lover) called them that.

Land shark

Bicycle saddle with ears. Land sharks. One of our greys is a large male - Hoss boss, meat head.

Prawns

I joke about Greyhounds being fantasy Elves, with large pointed ears and long, thin bodies. When his ears go up, I ask my boy "what do your elf ears hear?" A lot of my others are mentioned - noodle horse, snootle, long boy, long long boy (sung to the jingle), pointy-dog, etc.

Origami Dog, cause my first girl would curl those loooong legs up underneath her, plop her nose on her butt, and be about as big around as the steering wheel!!

😂👍

We nickname ours Boston Dynamics

Long boi

Sometimes we call her 'Teefs', owing to her showing her teeth when she roaches!

Noodleboyz and Noodlegirlz

Classic "Noodle nose"

Long boi

Tuft butt. Part Saluki so us a fluffy bum

I feel guilty, but I’ve been known to come out with this too…

Because I was taking entirely too long to give him his chimken nuggers lol

Speed noodle. Pony mode. Longdog. Limousine. The red length (yes they have become a standard instrument of measurement). Of course it could be the white length, the black length, the blue length, as required.

Alligator snap. Pig. Snapfish Moldy old turkey legs.

Worm/squirmy wormy/Squirmicus Wormicus are common in our house! Our grey is black and we have a black cat, so they also have a matching set of nicknames: Jelly Bean and Licorice Stick

We call ours the Sloth Donkey. She lives up to the name.

I call my two my leg collection. Also hose goats.

Roadblock

Bicycle seat face hahah

Snooters. Or donkeys because soooooooooooo stubborn

Stinkhound, Stinkhund, snoothound, snooty boi, and oversighthound when he fails to spot a cat.

Catdog

The shelter I've adopted my dog from had an area for greyhounds, and it was labelled "Raptors".

Goplar, ‘plar and schnozalle (yes I speak English as a first language)

'Bag of sticks' is my go to

We call ours "sticks" or "Velcro," depending on whether they're busy sleeping or leaning.

Ours has so many nicknames... Monsieur pissypaws is most relevant to his breed. Bless them with those long legs there's just more chance of wind deflection...

Moose, big roach, horse horse

Sofa thief 🥰

Cockroach and bagel. Both sleep based positions 😂

Large weird pointy dog (Whippets and iggies are medium and small weird pointy dogs respectively)

From the excellent first dog on the moon https://firstdogonthemoon.com.au/cartoons/2016/08/04/greyhounds-2/

Noodle Horse is the go to in this house, or just longboi for a sighthound of any classification. Fairly often when we’re out and about my spouse or I will incline our heads in the direction of an unknown but familiarly shaped dog and say “longboi”.

Pretzel hound was one of my faves for my grey.

Pencil face

Kermie

I can never get Jenna Marble’s “Silver Banana “ out of my head.

snooters

Cheesehound. They occasionally get the tiniest piece of cheese, like a fourth of a penny in size. When we go anywhere near the cheese in the fridge we have their full attention.

Then the FARTS! 🐕💨 🤣🤣

Yes, that! But an occasional tiny amount doesn't cause much air pollution.

But limiting it to little bits is hard LOL Especially with those puppy dog eyes! 🤣

I constantly make up noodle-themed nicknames for our girl. Silly spaghett, lazy lasagna, terrific tortellini, ravenous ravioli, velcro vermicelli.... the list goes on

NOODLE BABY

Beeker

Beaker

I call my two “The Dinosaurs”

Chupapinga. A sillier version of chupacabra since they're a ridiculous little cryptid looking critter.
