.In The Complete Whippet, Mr. Pegram traces the breed's growth in America citing the vital contributions of those who made it happen. He tells how the Whippet achieved a prominent place in the show ring and on the race track and gives solid advice on training a Whippet for both competitions. Chapters of the Whippet in England and Canada, the Whippet as a pet and a special chapter - the Meander story - further enrich the text. With these and other special surpreses The Complete Whippet is must reading for every Whippet enthusiast and for all sight hound fans. The text is accompanied by a lavish collection of sparkling illustrations. Here you'll see Whippets in the ring, Whippets at ease and Whippets in the breathtaking beauty of full flight.
