The Ultimate Greyhound is one of the most thorough greyhound books I have come across to date. Gorgeously illustrated with lots of colorful photographs, the book gives a generous background into the history and origins of the breed as well as origins of Coursing, Track Racing and the development of the Conformation Standard of Greyhounds in both the AKC and UKC. It shares information on the care and upbringing of these beautiful creatures from three different Countries, covering ALL aspects dogs bred both for conformation (show-dogs) and for the track. The Ultimate Greyhound also covers reasons for retirement, troubleshooting both health and common behavioral problems, giving insight into their cause as well as their cures. An excellant book. If you have a greyhound, want a greyhound or just want more info; this is the book to get.

I found this book to be a wellspring of information covering some of the greyhounds humble beginnings through its racing career. It gives in deapth views of the life of the racing Greyhound in not only the US, but in Ireland, the UK and Australia; the similarities and differences between them. It talks about bringing your new adoptee home and some of the common medical issues you may have to deal with. Lots of color photos. The Ultimate Greyhound is an Ultimate source of info. Definately 5 stars.

This book had informative chapters about how a racer is cared for, Adopting an ex-racer, bringing it home, socializing and training. It also had a a-z common health problem guide in the back. definitely one of the better Greyhound books

I was really suprised by the comprehensive nature of this book. Anything you could possibly want to know from history to racing to owning to caring for a greyhound is inside this book. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know about the glorious greyhound and his/her rich history and bright future.
