Summary: FAR BETTER than other books we've read on the subject
Comment: Our adoption agency included Cynthia Branigan's "Adopting the Racing Greyhound" in the adoption package for our first greyhound. Do I wish they would have sold us the Dummies book instead.
In one reading, it's easy to see why "Retired Racing Greyhounds for Dummies" is superior to anything else out there. Here are some of the highlights that were valuable to us:
1. TRAINING
All throughout, there is much ink given to training. This book spends A LOT of time teaching you how to train your greyhound its name, behaviors, tricks, and commands. The training is very easy to understand, and it is oriented toward positive reinforcement and rewards.
2. HEADING PROBLEMS OFF AT THE PASS
There are a lot of potential problems addressed here, ranging from rivalries with other dogs, helping him get over fear, as well as a huge section on possible health issues and what to do about them.
3. FOOD
A big section on different things to look for while reading food labels.
4. HISTORY
It talks about what the dogs went through during their life at the track, so that you better understand where they are coming from when they enter your home.
Other books that we have read discuss these same things, but in a more general (and less-helpful) way. Here you find simple, practical advice.
If you want just one book on the subject of retired racing greyhounds, this is it!

Summary: This is the one!
Comment: There IS no better guide to pet Greyhounds than Lee Livingood's Retired Racing Greyhound for Dummies. We strongly recommend buying it to all of our adopters, keep copies at the kennel for adopters to borrow, and even require some to read it before adopting. If you're new to Greyhounds, you NEED this book. If you're an old hand, you'll still learn a lot and enjoy it thoroughly.

Summary: A Must-Own for Greyhound Adopters
Comment: The only thing I really have to say is this: if you're planning on adopting a retired racing greyhound, you really should have this book on hand. It covers just about everything you'd need to know, from helping your dog adjust to home life, to day-to-day care. You WILL have questions that need to be answered, and, outside of those that concern you to the point of contacting the adoption group, this book will answer most of them for you. I have read many books on greyhound adoption (yes, I'm a proud "parent" of one, myself), and I have found that, overall, this is the best. If nothing else, it's very good to have on hand.
