5 out of 5 stars Not just for dummies   April 21, 2001
  16 out of 16 found this review helpful

Like most greyhound adopters, I had to read "THE BOOK": Cynthia Branigan's book on greyhound adoption as part of the screening/adoption process. This book is almost as essential for newbies to the greyhound world. Despite Lee Livingood's credentials in the greyhound adoption community, I didn't expect much from this book because it was, after all, for "dummies." I was happily surprised to find that it is a wonderful complement to Branigan. I bought two copies; one to keep at home right next to "THE BOOK" and one to give to the local humane society's library.

Anyone who wishes to learn more about these special dogs, or who wants to be owned by one, should have this book.


5 out of 5 stars The Best Greyhound Book Out There!   February 22, 2001
  15 out of 15 found this review helpful

As an owner of a retired racing greyhound, I have read several books on the subject and spent endless hours surfing the web for information. This book contains everything you need to know to properly care for and train a greyhound. Although it seems to sugar coat the life of a racing hound, it does a wonderful job of describing the needs and idiosyncrasies of this gentle breed. I highly recommend it to any prospective adopter.

I have two retired racers and have voraciously read many books and articles on the topic; this is definitely the best. It's comprehensive, informative, and very interesting. No Greyhound owner should be without it!


5 out of 5 stars This Book is Greyt!   October 3, 2000

Simple and easy to follow. This book provides not only greyhound specific information but also some basic dog training and behaviour knowledge. Wonderful photos and fun cartoons too! Adoption groups ought to give this book out to everyone who adopts a retired racing greyhound. Excellent!

This is the best greyhound book for owners/prospective adopters I've seen, and I've collected them all. Beautiful photos, easy-to-read information. Vast topics not seen elsewhere, and help for specific problems like separation anxiety. Great advice for families with young children. Add this to your greyhound library - a must!
