Whether you've recently adopted, or you're a long time admirer of these beguiling creatures, inside you'll find plenty of information to help you introduce your new friend to a whole new world, and train and care for the retired racers who have stolen your heart and your sofa.
This is not a comprehensive guide. Much of what you'll find is intended to compliment the information in my books. I've focused on information I had to exclude to meet page limitations, information that has changed since the books were published, and information that provides a foundation to a successful relationship with your retired racing Greyhound. I've also included information that may be in one or both books that I think is particularly important and doesn't seem to be easy to find in other places.
I've kept graphics to a minimum to save your download time. However, the Product Reviews section is graphics intensive.
You'll find a lot of things are still "works in progress." Some areas will always be in development with new bits of info added as I think of them or learn about them, so stop back soon if what you're looking for isn't here.
The information on this site is not intended as a substitute for professional medical or behavioral advice. It is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only. Everyone has a bias. You'll quickly learn I am no different. What you read here reflects my personal philosophies.
Pick an area that's of interest and race on in.
