 Concise & Comprehensive Greyhound Reference July 8, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Excellent resource for anyone who is interested in or contemplating rescuing a retired racer.
AFTER reading this book cover to cover (2 sittings), I adopted the most wonderful ex racing girl of 8 years. It is the best thing I have ever done.
If you will always keep your dog leashed and are genuinely interested in this sweet, loving and gentle breed please get this book and bring one of these wonderful Greyhound K9's into your heart and home forever. You will be so happy you did.
However, beware... one greyhound is good, two is better, three... it is known as the potato chip effect! These dogs, these exquisite creatures and the unique brand of love and devotion they offer is infectious. One is never enough.
 A great insight into owning Racing Greyhounds June 27, 2007

I bought this book to help me decide whether I would be making the right choice in adopting a racing greyhound. I wasn't disappointed, this book did tell me a lot of the things I needed to know before making the decision final. I now know what to expect when I am ready to bring a racing greyhound into my house, my life, and my heart.
The training methods in this book may work for some, but for me, it is a little vague. I'm fairly certain that the training method detailed in this book may work for some dogs, but for many others, it could achieve little to nothing. I advise researching other training methods after reading the one detailed, and making your own mind up. No two dogs are the same, and no two owners are the same, and ultimately, the choice of training method has to be based on the traits of both dog and owner.
Well worth reading, especially for those inexperienced with dogs, and in particular greyhounds.

We adopted our first greyhound knowing so much about them. I have done days and weeks and hours on end researching them. I came across this book and bought it for my husband who's not on the computer as much as I am. And we both learned a lot from this book...it's very detailed. I would definately suggest reading this book if you have or want a greyhound
Great overall book January 9, 2007

Great 1st step for anyone looking to adopt or even if you already have a greyhound. I've found myself going back to it, even months after I've adopted, for little tidbits of info. One complaint is that the author seems to be trying to 'sell' you on his way of doing things. It tends to be a little preachy at times. But, overall, an invaluable source with lots of insider info from someone who has obviously been there, done that.
