Greyhound

More than a whirring blur around a racetrack, the Greyhound has dashed into the homes, hearts and show rings of fanciers everywhere. Originally prized for his speed and agility, today's Greyhound is an admirable pet animal, with a gentleness and nobility befitting a dog of ancient lineage. For the right owners, the Greyhound, whether acquired as a puppy or as a rescue dog, is a mild-mannered yet athletic companion dog, as affectionate as he is active. This new book provides owners with clearly written, sound advice about caring for the Greyhound, from the selection of a puppy and the adoption of an adult to obedience training, health care and behavior. All readers will welcome the author's insight on housebreaking and preparing for the dog's arrival as well as the temperament and characteristics of the breed and the care of the senior dog. This comprehensive owner's guide is not only authoritative and reliable but also beautifully illustrated with over 135 full-color photographs.
