If you're thinking of adopting a retired racer... September 14, 2008
You need to read this book. It is the most comprehensive book of its kind. You will find all of the information necessary to help you make the right decision. Greys are the greatest breed of dog on the planet!
Perfect Retired Racing Greyhound Primer August 31, 2008
This book is an essential item for any who has or will be adopting a racing greyhound. Practical information presented in a logical, no nonsense way.
Adopting the Racing Greyhound August 15, 2008
This book has a lot of important information about caring for your greyhound. I found it to be a great source!
This book was full of interesting & great information on Greys November 25, 2007
I am a first time Greyhound adopter and I'm so glad this is one of the books that was a pre-adoption requirement. I enjoy how Cynthia is so in tune with these wonderful dogs and she gives you the info directly from her heart! They said any book by Cynthia Branigan is worth purchasing, so I'm going to buy her other book on Greyhounds next.
A helpful hand October 13, 2007
This book was such a help as the breed was new to me. I knew nothing about the personality of the breed or what to expect. This book will help any one interested in adopting a Grey through the first months and the life of the pet. The medical information is invaluble as these are things some vets don't know let alone the pet owner. The book not only assists you in knowing the breed before you bring one home, but can greatly assist you in deciding if this is the right pet for you.
