BOOKS

  • Retired Racing Greyhounds for Dummies, by Lee Livingood. This is my favorite book for ALL adopters, especially new ones. It's well written and enjoyable to read. This book is IT!

     
 
  • Greyhounds - Everything about Adoption, Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training, by D. Caroline Coile, Ph.D. Published in 1996 by Barrons. It doesn't go into great depth, but give an excellent overview of most aspects of living with Greyhounds.

     
 
  • Care of the Racing Greyhound, by Linda L. Blythe, DVM, PhD; James R. Gannon, BVSc, FACVs; and A. Morrie Craig, PhD. This book is considered a bible by many Greyhound people, both professional and pet owners alike. The hardback version is about $60.00, but the NGA has reduced their price on the paperback version from $40.00 to $25.00. It's worth every penny.
     
  • Adopting the Racing Greyhound, by Cynthia Branigan. For the most part an excellent resource.

     
 
  • The Complete Book of Greyhounds, by Julia Barnes. Another very good resource and a fascinating read.
