Book Description
GREYHOUND RACING AND BREEDINGBy A. Croxton SmithA VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINTThis 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. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars A Little Gem
With a fourth grade hero, Ms. Ahrens covers not only the world of greyhounds, but the everyday struggles children have with good manners, clean rooms, homework, family and friends. It's a smooth read, with a happy ending!

5-0 out of 5 stars GRIDDLE is GREYT !!
Even if you've never thought about adopting a retired racing greyhound, you and your children will want to read this book.
Doris gives a wonderful explanation of the adoption process, from submitting the application to the home visit to matching the greyhound with the family. When you finish this book, you'll want to go out and meet a greyhound.And I think that is exactly what Doris intended.This is a wonderful book to share with your children/grandchildren during summer vacation.I give it 5 stars but the five greyhounds at our house give it 20 paws!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Charming at any age
A wonderful tale about the very special pet-hood involving retired "racers".Ms. Ahrens takes the reader through all the real-life stages of an adoption in a light-hearted and entertaining way.If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was purely fiction.Ideal for teaching a young person about the process, but fun reading for anyone really. ...

Book Description
A restless man, obsessed with dog races, embarks on a cross-country journey leading to his Idaho hometown in this debut novel reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye.

Luke Rivers is a part-time bartender and full-time gambler who dreams of scoring big at the dog races. He travels the greyhound circuit with his wife, Jenny, and their young son, Jake, until one morning he wakes up in a motel in Rapid City, South Dakota, to discover that Jenny has left him and taken Jake with her. Now, for the first time, Luke must confront himself—both the tragic family past that led him to gambling and the uncertain future that lies ahead--while coping with a bewildering present. The Greyhound God is the account of Rivers's anguished search for understanding and purpose.

Morris evokes with deft intelligence the colorful world of dog racing and the characters, human and canine, who inhabit it. But this is merely a background for the travails of Luke and his little family, the cheap motels and dusty dreams, the tensions between Luke's tender love for his son and his obsession with his betting "system." Luke's dilemma—whether to pursue Jenny or to continue his gambling life—is complicated further by the presence of a beautiful, sympathetic woman he meets after Jenny leaves, by his painful memories of family tragedy and personal breakdowns, and by a seemingly miraculous winning streak at the track.

The Greyhound God is a powerful novel of self-discovery by a writer at the top of his form. Seldom in contemporary fiction has the troubled psyche of a compulsive gambler been examined with such empathy and insight, nor has the world of gambling been depicted with such dead-on clarity. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars I Am Trying to Break Your Heart
Couldn't resist the musical reference, as it's apt for this amazing novel. Look: there are plenty of books out there -- thousands, in fact -- that seem more concerned with exhibiting the subtleties of craft than actually affecting the emotions of the reader. The Greyhound God ain't that kind of book. It's beautifully written, deeply felt, quite funny, but without one whit of post-modern "irony." I've read the book three times and each time I found myself entering into the world of Luke Rivers, the loss of his family, the tragedy that spurs this loss, his journey across America, and his strange, wonderful canine obsession. The book is one of those rare accomplishments -- a journey of self-discovery that feels real and revelatory. Readers deserve this kind of compassion. Period.

4-0 out of 5 stars A great literary work
For those who like literary novels, this is one of the best ones on the market right now. Great writing, great story by a talented new author. It's a novel that makes you think and makes you question. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and getting to know Luke Rivers. I can't wait till Keith Lee Morris comes out with another novel.
