Product Description

“The next best thing to having an experienced Greyhound owner living with you.”
—Joan Belle Isle, President, Greyhound Project

“Anyone who reads this book and follows its guidance will have a happier, healthier dog and be a happier, more relaxed dog owner.”
—Hal and Karen Hawley, Greyhound Friends Northwest

The Greyhound has been celebrated in song and legend for thousands of years. Nowadays, Greyhounds are bred almost exclusively for racing. In the bad old days, prior to the 1980s, dogs that didn’t make the grade at the track, and those past their primes, were destroyed. According to official estimates, 60,000 of these noble, mild-mannered dogs were destroyed each year! Fortunately, a number of organizations now exist devoted to rescuing these unwanted dogs and placing them in good homes.

  • Understand the Greyhound personality
  • Find a retired racing Greyhound to adopt
  • Choose the right ex-racer for you and your family
  • Educate yourself and your retired racer
  • Give your new pal the diet and exercise it needs
  • Keep your dog healthy and happy for years to come

With plenty of good humor and straight-talk, Lee Livingood drawing on her forty-years of experience training adult rescue dogs to cover all the pros and cons of being a retired racing Greyhound owner, and she fills you in on:

  • The amazing 8000-year history of the Greyhound
  • Deciding whether an ex-racer is the right do for you and your family
  • Physical and behavioral characteristics
  • How to get a retired racer used to living in a home and be a companion

3.0étoiles sur 5 formulaic guide to adopting a dog, Mars 5 2004
Par Un client
I'm an owner of 2 retired racers, and this book was recently given to me. All the information in the book seems accurate, but it's a lackluster description of how to adopt a dog. Most greyhound owners are passionate about their dogs, and that isn't reflected here. I do think there's too much information on training. Greyhounds are smart, sensitive, and quick learners, and I found that a minimum of training was required. (I didn't adopt these dogs to have them perform for me - they did quite enough "performing" on the track - I wanted them as companions.) Aside from that, this is a good primer on the breed.

1.0étoiles sur 5 A disappointment, Oct. 16 2003
Par Charles W. Rissel (Wellesley Hills, MA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I bought a copy of Retired Racing Greyhounds for Dummies before I adopted my
first ex-racer. What a disappointment. This book had no rhythm or flow and
seemed to be written by a committee, rather than a person. I found the layout
confusing and most of the content so general as to be meaningless. When I got my
dog, I re-read the book, and again, found much of its content too focused on
training (I think the author is a dog trainer by profession) and did not have
enough about health or their life at the track. Luckily I found Adopting the
Racing Greyhound by Cynthia Branigan and it had everything I was looking for.
She runs an adoption agency, and it shows! Her advice and experience were just
what I was looking for. I'm afraid that as far as I'm concerned the "Dummy"
book lives up to its name!

I have just finnished this book and found it a wonderful read. It has possibly the most information in it available. If you're not sure about adopting a breed, just want to read a little bit about the breed, or already have a greyhound this book is for you!!
