accurate and user-friendly March 6, 1999

Ms. Branigan offers history of the breed; hints for choosing the right dog for your lifestyle; caring for the breed in your home; training the breed in the most effective manner; care and feeding of the breed; and much more. We adopted a greyhound over 1 year ago, and this book was the only one recommended by the firm from which we adopted. Excellent resource text for the breed. Ms. Branigan even introduces the reader to other sighthound breeds.
An excellent explanation of the life of an ex-racer. February 18, 1999

As a dog obedience instructor, I am often asked for help in selecting a rescue dog. This book does an excellent job of explaining the ins and outs of adopting a greyhound. I recommend it often to anyone considering opening their home to these sweet pets.
Indispensable! February 16, 1999

I am involved with an ex-racing greyhound adoption group, and I recommend this book to everyone who is adopting, or considering adopting, a greyhound. Cynthia Branigan has written the "bible" of greyhound adoption, covering all aspects of caring for these wonderful dogs. Her love of greyhounds (and all animals) is evident on every page. If you are thinking of adopting a greyhound, this is the book to have.
Outstanding!! August 1, 1998

This is a very important source for anyone who is interested in adopting a racing greyhound. It is very improtant information about the breed and gives a heads up on what you will expect from your new family member. The book does get carried away with nutritional standards for greyhounds, but over all it was a really good read!
This book helped me quickly adapt to my greyhound May 2, 1998

This book saved me during the first few weeks after my greyhound, Kali, came home. I would reccomend this book to anyone even considering adopting an ex-racer. It gives the best advice from considering adopting a racing greyhound all the way through the greyhound' s life.
