"Swift as a thought, light as a snowflake, graceful as a gazelle, and as

illusive as a dream when he does not wish to be caught…."

(Viva Leone RICKETTS, All about toy dogs, London 1967.) .


Welcome to Giocattolo Italian Greyhounds

The Italian Greyhound has captured the hearts and minds of many people for many ages. Delicate and fragile looking but tough as old bootlace these delightful little dogs, the smallest of the sighthound family, have graced many households through the ages.

My fascination with the breed began in late 1995 when I purchased my first Iggy, Pippa (Ch Vickma Quickstep). One soon became five which proves the saying often associated with the Italian Greyhound:

They're like potato chips: you can’t stop at one!
