THE UNITED KINGDOM ITALIAN GREYHOUND SOCIETY

iguksoc@aol.com


Welcome to the homepage of the United Kingdom Italian Greyhound Society. Our mission is to encourage the responsible ownership of this charming breed and to ensure its welfare in the future. We keep regularly updated information on all aspects of health and care. On this site you will find many things of interest about Italian Greyhounds. Although we have show results we do regard all Italian Greyhounds to be of equal value and believe show dogs should be companion dogs too. We also have a helpline where potential new owners may contact members in their area who will give them advice and also where they may see Italian greyhounds in a home environment. You will not however find puppies advertised for sale directly or indirectly on this site. We also offer an emergency service for those with Italian Greyhounds who may need temporary foster care for their dogs. This site is updated on a regular basis so please keep coming back to see us.

NEW ..................DOG AGILITY

Flora (Monelli Mini Me) won the Small Combined Jumping class at Bretford agility show on 5th April, from a class of 34, and at 8 years old!
This is so well deserved for her young owner KatyJames, who has had to suffer the indignity of Flora having a poo in the ring, running out of the ring to sit on a spectator's lap, and taking a dislike to the judge and refusing to run past him, among many other mishaps

MEET UPS LONDON

 

If you're an Italian Greyhound owner in or near London and would like your dog to meet other Italians then please take a look at this meet up group: 

Meetups in London

The next Italian Greyhounds in London meetup is Sunday, 28th February 2010 in Hyde Park. Come along if you're up for a relaxed walk through the park with the dogs: www.meetup.com/italiangreyhoundslondon/

We're not a club or society - just a bunch of Italian Greyhound owners who meet up once in a while to let our dogs run around together while we have a good chin wag. If that sounds like your cup of tea then just sign up to the meetup group - it's free!
