"There is no sport, except perhaps pigeon-racing, that is run on such dead-straight lines as coursing, and it is this fact that should attract the novice owner to it. Granted a little luck - neccessary in everything - he has as much chance, if his dog is good enough, of winning the Waterloo Cup as any other. Some may criticise this and say, or write, that no owner can do this without trainers, walkers, etc. This is wrong, as no sport is so open to the one-dog man as coursing, there is no better exercise, or amusement, than training a greyhound, and I have yet to experience anything more pleasurable or exciting than winning a stake with a home-trained dog." Chapters include: The early history of coursing; The Waterloo Cup; Applied anatomy and physiology of the greyhound; The breeding of greyhounds; The stud dog and the brood bitch; The management of the brood bitch; Saplings and puppies; Training; Feeding; Kennels; Diseases; Coursing in Ireland; Some famous pedigrees; Coursing clubs; Rules of the National Coursing Club. .
