About this book

This vintage book contains a thorough and timeless guide to breeding Greyhounds for racing purposes. It is written by the master of sporting literature, John Hartley Walsh. A comprehensive treatise on the subject, this book covers everything one needs to know for successful greyhound management, including information on subjects ranging from rearing and training, to diseases and treatment. As useful today as it was when first published, this antiquarian handbook is a must-have for modern greyhound breeders, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Michael John Hartley Walsh was an officer in the British Army, a surgeon, and the Chief Scout for the United Kingdom from 1982 to 1988. Many antiquarian texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
