The Greyhound: Its History, Points, Breeding, Rearing, Training, and Running

Description: This book is an informative guide to the history, points, breeding, rearing, training, and coursing of the Greyhound. It is part of a series of monographs on British dogs created to address the needs of fanciers who are interested in specific breeds. Each monograph gives additional material that the modern fancier requires while excluding those that are outside the scheme of the comprehensive work to ensure attention to detail for each breed. This allows the author to provide club standards and acknowledge authorities on their specialist breeds. While the text provides an historical overview of the breed, it also presents a comprehensive analysis of the points of the modern Greyhound in line with coursing standards and uses, alongside key insights into their training requirements to assist the reader in making informed decisions about ownership. The author has drawn on a range of sources across time to enhance the book's authority, and brings expert knowledge and experience to bear on the subject in an accessible and informative manner. In short, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Greyhound, whether as a coursing enthusiast or simply as an admirer of this elegant breed.
