Customer Reviews

a great deal

This is a beautiful book and a little to detailed for my taste, but a great deal.

Excellent primer for those adopting greyhounds.

I purchased this book on the recommendation of the Long Island Greyhound Transfer association. I then adopted a beautiful dog. The book is both precise and accurate as to what to expect of a newly adopted dog. I believe it is must reading for anyone interested in a greyhound.

A very "complete" book of Greyhounds indeed!

Very comprehensive and complete book about almost all aspects of greyhounds from ancient history to Ballyregan Bob the British racing champion, from Ch. Treetops Hawk the show champion to Cynthia Branigan the adopter of retired racer. Racing, coursing, AKC (show) greyhounds are all discussed in detail. The best things of all: most chapters are written by experts in their respective fields. For me, the generously loaded pictures including 16 pages of color plates are irresistible.
