But if the adopter does not know how the dog was trained, fed and cared for during its track life, and how to modify or change these practices, then the result will be an unhappy owner and an unsuccessful adoption. Branigan addresses such topics as : how to chose the right dog for you; preparing the home; feeding, grooming and training; equipment; participating in organized competitions and just having fun. This book also touches on the proud history of this oldest of all purebred dog familes. Even though the Greyhound has traditionally been used in hunting and coursing, it gets along extremely well with other dogs and adapts well to life in the home. Anyone who adopts an ex-racer, whether for humanitarian reasons or for the simple desire for companionship, will have a patient, loving creature that is eager to please and a joy to be with. ; 9-1/4" tall; 148 pages.
