Whippets Today - for the expert only,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Whippets Today (Hardcover)
First a disclaimer: I haven't had a dog in over thirty years. So adopting a whippet was daunting. I wanted a book that told me how to take care of this new creature in my life - how much food and exercise she needs, the kinds of toys and games whippets tend to enjoy, etc. What I got instead was a book that described the various standards by which whippets are judged in the show ring, and a great deal of detail on champions, their bloodlines, breeders and kennels. This is fine for those interested in breeding or showing, but wholly inadequate and superfluous to the besotted albeit novice whippet owner!

Good book, maybe more for established owners,
This review is from: Whippets Today (Hardcover)
I have this book also, i have possibly an older version, focused a bit more on the Engllish side of the whippet breed. It is more focused on breeding, showmanship etc.. It also has recipes for the home-cooker, where you don't feed from the can ( for example there are recipes etc.. ) It IS a good book and interesting, but it should be a book after you have a whippet, or for light reading, not if you want to read up before purchasing.
