I own this book and it was a big help educating me prior to adopting our greyhounds. If you are a greyhound enthusiast, this book is for you.

This is THE book for anyone considering a Greyhound

I bought this book from my local Greyhound adoption group after reading two other books. Unlike other highly reccomended books, this one is easy to read, to the point, and has lots of beautiful (and comical) color pictures. It has lots of basic information about Greyhound behavior, care, training, and fairly extensive first aid and medical info.
New & Improved version of an already acclaimed book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is the second edition of the book that has already been adopted by adoption groups and acclaimed by owners. It has all-new pictures and a completely re-written text incorporating the latest information about greyhound health, physiology, nutrition, and behavior. Included is a special Health Checklist for you to photocopy and use to give your dog a home check-up, and a special Greyhound Medical Synopsis outlining greyhound differences in physiology for you to photocopy and give to your veterinarian. Lots of fun stuff is in there too! Sure, the first edition was good...but this one is GREYT!
A good guide to owning a greyhound
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book provides helpful information and insights for owners of greyhounds as well as to those thinking about getting a greyhound. It contains first aid tips and obedience training guidelines that aren't available in most other greyhound books. It also has beautiful photos of the breed. There are only two drawbacks I have found about this book; it does not fully emphasize the need to keep greyhounds on leashes or in enclosures and the reading continuity is interrupted by the "How To" sections (not that they're not helpful but they seem misplaced).
