The Irish Wolfhound : Symbol of Celtic Splendor by Mary McBryde, Sean Frawley	Deerskin by Robin McKinley	The New Complete Irish Wolfhound by Joel Samaha

In this book Ash will transform by magic from a smooth sighthound to longhair and back again.

The (almost human) greyhound is a joy and the fast-moving style of writing makes it an un-put-a-downable read.	This is the first book that I have read soley dedecated to the Italian Greyhound (IG). The book had lots of photos. The book was very informative into the personality of the IG.	An ABSOLUTE MUST READ for anyone considering an Afghan Hound! Coile's book is straightforward, full of excellent information, a "quick, easy read," and will help you decide whether an Afghan Hound is the right breed for you. Afghan Hounds are not for everyone.
