If you are thinking about adopting a racing Greyhound or want to better understand the ex–racer you already have, then this is the perfect book for you. Everything you need to know about successfully "homing" an ex–racer can be found here the only book of its kind on the subject. In no time, you will learn that although these remarkable dogs have been bred to hunt and run at top speed, they are used to being with other dogs and people. It′s in their nature to get along with adults and children and, of course, other household pets. In addition to detailing the fascinating history of the Greyhound breed from ancient times to the present, Cynthia A. Branigan addresses such topics as preparing the home; feeding, grooming and training; equipment, medicines and health–care products; and activities & competitions just for ex–racers and their owners.
In 1992, when
