Courser's Guide - Containing Names, Pedigrees, Performances and Running Weights of the Principal Gre

Fifty years of coursing greyhounds, recorded dog by dog: names, pedigrees, performances and running weights.

The Courser's Guide is a working reference from the age when coursing was run under club rules and settled by the stopwatch and the judge's flag. Thomas Jones sets out the principal greyhounds of the previous half-century - who they were bred from, what they ran, what they weighed and how they performed - the raw material from which breeders made their matings and bettors made their calculations.

The reprint is illustrated with 45 black and white photographs and reproduces the period advertisements that ran alongside the entries, which are half the pleasure of a book like this.
