 Greyt reference! October 19, 2009
J. Twigg (Kansas City)
My wife and I have had the pleasue of adopting and fostering retired racers for the past 15 years. This book provides great information for new adopters and is a valuable reference for old hands. It's written in an easy to read and understand manner covering from thinking about adoption to saying goodbye to a faithful friend.
 Earned a permanent position on the bookshelf October 6, 2009
Jennifer Kydd (Antioch, TN USA)
In preparation to adopt a retired racer, I read this because of a requirement of the local greyhound adoption rescue. As it turns out, this book really is fantastic not just for greyhounds but for all dog breeds. Chock full of training tips and behavior recognition, I already knew some of the material since I already own a dog. However, I found most of it to be new and incredibly helpful. This particular Dummies book will retain a permanent position on my bookshelf.

J. L. Kelly (Chicago, IL USA)
I think this was a very good book and an easy read. You can pretty much start on any topic you choose, you dont have to go from beginning to end. Its a good reference to have around. If you are getting a Greyhound or already have one, I would recommend this book.
