Product Description
Product Description
This revised and updated edition of the only book on "homing" the ex–racer tells prospective adopters everything they need to know to make adoption a success. In addition to practical information, such as care and feeding, readers learn the latest about the activities and competitions that are just for ex–racers and their owners. The Appendix lists all the agencies nationwide that adopt out Greyhounds, so an agency is sure to be nearby. For thousands of years Greyhounds have been bred to hunt and run at top speed. Because they are used to being with other dogs and people, they make perfect pets. Adopters can be assured their ex–racer will get along with adults and children and other household pets.
From the Back Cover
"The book that has had the single biggest impact on Greyhound adoption, Cynthia Branigan′s Adopting the Racing Greyhound, has become required reading for many new Greyhound adopters around the world." Joan Belle Isle, The Greyhound Project
If you are thinking about adopting a racing Greyhound or want to better understand the ex–racer you already have, then this is the perfect book for you. Everything you need to know about successfully "homing" an ex–racer can be found here the only book of its kind on the subject. In no time, you will learn that although these remarkable dogs have been bred to hunt and run at top speed, they are used to being with other dogs and people. It′s in their nature to get along with adults and children and, of course, other household pets. In addition to detailing the fascinating history of the Greyhound breed from ancient times to the present, Cynthia A. Branigan addresses such topics as preparing the home; feeding, grooming and training; equipment, medicines and health–care products; and activities & competitions just for ex–racers and their owners.
In 1992, when Adopting the Racing Greyhound was first published, 40 agencies in the United States adopted out ex–racers. Now, thanks in no small part to this book, the number of agencies is nearing the 300 mark. The Appendix contains the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all the adoption groups in existence today, so you′re sure to find one in your area.
