GREYHOUND RACING AND BREEDING By A. Croxton Smith A VINTAGE DOG
BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT This scarce early work on greyhound racing
and breeding was originally published in 1927. It is now very hard
to find in its first edition, and consequently increasingly
expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished it using the original
text and photographs as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series.
The author was a well known dog book writer of his day, with his
main interest being dogs of a sporting variety. This well
researched book will prove of much interest to all with an
involvement with greyhounds. Its hundred pages contain nine
detailed chapters, all well illustrated with vintage black and
white photographs: How the Sport Originated. - Method of Conducting
Meetings. - System of Handicapping. - How to Choose a Dog. - The
Cost of Racing a Dog. - Behind the Scenes. - How to Start a Kennel.
- The Fastest Animal. - Heroes of the Track. - Rules of the
Greyhound Racing Association. Etc. In addition to being a
fascinating read for any greyhound enthusiast, the book also
contains much information that is still practical and useful today.
Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
