This book finished the unaswered questiona about a greyhound we adopted. A person wonders where they come from and how they have been treated. This book answered alot of questions about how the dog may have been treated and where they have been, what kind of care is needed and what to expect. It would be a good book to have before or after adoption and is referenced by many people who have had and adopted these dogs from vets, multiply greyhound owners and people from the track. Its a good read and easy to go thru. Our experience is out greyhound was pretty much of a blank book when it came to real life and this filled in some of the blanks and the rest the dog is filling. She is a lovely dog and needs some work but a loving companion with tons of personality. I would hope purchase of this book and some patience make your dogs transition easy on you both.

I ordered this book as well as some others when I was considering the adoption of a retired racing greyhound. I must say, that although all the books have valuable information, this one was the most interesting to read. Full of great information. After my reading "research" we did go ahead and adopt a greyhound and she is just the best, gentlest dog ever!

Very informitive & a must have if you are thinking of getting a Greyhound dog.

This book is inexpensive and includes some good advice on Greyhound care and temperament. However, the photos in the book are mostly of obvious AKC show Greyhounds, and not NGA dogs. I found this to be somewhat annoying. However, that's not that big of a deal. What really annoyed me was the books obvious anti-racing stance. The implied message was that racing Greyhounds are mistreated, when the fact is, most are not at all.

maybe this IS all i need to know about adopting a retired greyhound, but the info seemed a little sparse
