  • Care of the Racing Greyhound, by Linda L. Blythe, DVM, PhD; James R. Gannon, BVSc, FACVs; and A. Morrie Craig, PhD. This book is considered a bible by many Greyhound people, both professional and pet owners alike. The hardback version is about $60.00, but the NGA has reduced their price on the paperback version from $40.00 to $25.00. It's worth every penny.

  • The Complete Book of Greyhounds, by Julia Barnes. Another very good resource and a fascinating read.
