I bought the book Retired racing greyhounds for dummies a week ago and was immediately impressed with the number of topics talked about in the book. (history, training, behavior, grooming, and more) if you are familiar with the dummies line of books you know that they are easy to read, and understand. you can read one or two paragraphs put the book down come back to it and not be lost. they are short and very informitave. this one only has 255 pages from front to back. i would say this is a must have if you are thinking about adopting a retired racer.
It has really motivated me to seriously consider Greyhound adoption! This being said, I do not yet own one to really see if everything holds true... but the author is very effective at being honest and covering almost any possible situation and what to do.

It's an excellent teaching tool for new greyhound owners. Greyhounds are a special breed with unique characteristics and the information in this book may ease the transition for the dog and provide essential knowledge for the adopting owners. Recommended by GPA (Greyhound Pets of America).

I met some greyhounds at a Petsmart store. I applied to adopt one from "Greyt Expectations" in Maryland and it was recommended reading. A great book tells you all you need to know but not over factual. The book is easy to read and even enjoyable. A must read for anyone who is considering adopting a Greyhound. We received the book after we got our Greyhound but it is teaching us how to train her right and is worth much more than we paid for it (used).
I bought this book because my family and I were considering adopting a retired greyhound from the track. The book is an excellent reference for helping one decide if a greyhouhnd is the right type of dog for one's household. In addition, there are many training tips as well as a health guide. We did decide on adopting a greyhound and the book was a great guide in helping us to acclimate her to her new home. The author offered every possible scenerio for anyone with a greyhound. We found some of the scenerios were dead on and others ween't applicable to our dog at all.
Superb book stuffed full of great info on the breed!
