Guide to Adopting an Ex-Racing Greyhound: History, Training, Grooming, Health, Feeding, Temperament

Carolyn Raeke captures the essence of greyhound uniqueness in this well written and well organized book. The photos are fabulous and especially moving is the story of Chloe and her transformation from an exploited animal to a loved member of a family.

I borrowed this book from a friend and after reading (and re-reading) its beautiful pages I was convinced I needed to adopt a greyhound. This book was very informative and the pictures just make you fall for these wonderful animals! I recommend the book to anyone wanting to find out more about greyhounds and to see if they would be right for your home.

This book was very informative as well as beautiful. I just loved to glossy pages..but that isn't the point..hehe..well, The reason why I gave this book 4 stars is because it lacked as much health-troubleshooting pages as I would have liked, but otherwise, I liked the story in the beginning, the explanation to racing, I absolutely like how it didn't side with anti-racing activists..that gets on my nerves....and pictures of many products you might need on the way.

This book is very helpful. It helps explain about how to take care of a retired racing greyhound. It is a very good book for anyone interested in adopting a retired greyhound.

This book provides a good overview of what to expect if you should choose to adopt a retired racing greyhound. It also gives advice on how to keep a greyhound healthy. Overall, a good book to read before you make the decision to adopt. A bonus is the beautiful photos!
