THE GREYHOUND: BREEDING, COURSING, RACING, etc. By James Matheson.
A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT. Originally published in 1929,
this extremely scarce early work on the Greyhound is both expensive
and hard to find in its first edition. 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
greyhound man. He was as successful with his dogs on the track as
he was in the field. His many years of expert knowledge are
encapsulated within this book's two hundred and sixty eight pages.
Twenty seven comprehensive chapters contain valuable information
on: Origins and History of Greyhound Racing. - Future of the
Greyhound? - What is a Good Greyhound? - Breeding. - Walks v.
Rearing at Home. - The Whelping Hut. - Management of the Brood
Bitch. - Rearing. - Management of the Saplings. - Training. -
Proper Racing Weight. - Transport and its Effect on Coursing. -
Blood. - Selection of the Racing Brood Bitch. - Kennel Ailments and
Their Treatment. - Weights of Growing Greyhounds. - Measurements of
Points. - Rearing and Training Expenses. - The Show Greyhound. -
Breeding and Rearing Champions. - Greyhounds as Companions. Kennel
Construction. Etc. The contents are well illustrated with vintage
photographs of famous greyhounds and Waterloo Cup winners of the
time. This is a fascinating read for any Greyhound enthusiast or
historian of the breed, but also contains much information that is
still useful and practical 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 republishingthese classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
