"These are some of the best legs I have seen on an IG in a long time", said the Cardiac Vet -Tech and Cardiac Veteranarian of Gina & Stevens Second Litter, @ the AKC Tampa Dog Show, Florida State Fair Grounds, Tampa, Florida.  On a visit for Heart & Eye Screenings in June of 2026.

Yes, A Team of qualified, experienced, and dedicated professionals.  People dedicated to helping us and ultimately Gina, (soon) Pazzo & Steven, produce "Big Strong Legs".  As we​ mentioned, Rich is a retired civil engineer, and Michelle is a semi-retired RN and cardiac care nurse. We have limited experience with animals; Michelle's family operated an exotic-pet refuge housing tigers, lions, monkeys, zebras, and other exotics, as well as farm animals, cows, goats, sheep, horses, turkeys, etc.  
While this is ​an Amazing and once-in-a-lifetime experience, it isn't exactly what we needed to help us provide you with the most loving, affectionate, cuddly, snuggly, respectful, outgoing, healthy Italiangreyhound possible.
Thus, it is here, on our website, that we thank our team and provide you access to these amazingly talented and dedicated professionals. 
We encourage anyone, whether or not you purchase from us, to consider members of our team as part of your pet care and development team.

Our Local Veterinary Team at Gulf Coast Veterinary Care of Spring Hill, including the amazing 
Doctor Christopher Cole, 
Dr. Cole​, has performed surgery on our mom, Gina, after an unfortunate mishap​, just one hour after she arrived at her new home, and provides all the regular care and checkups of our Dog Parents and litters. He is a great Veterinarian and Truly Cares. Gina​, like all of us, is so grateful for Dr. Cole and his commitment to our pets' care.  
Doctor Cole and I have discussed​ Dew Claws at great length; he believes that larger animals do not need them and that they definitely pose a threat to the dog and the owner's health if 
not removed or properly maintained. 
Still, he agrees that smaller dogs like IG's​​provide stability and a defense mechanism if attacked. 
He, like us, tells the human patient to keep them maintained; it is vital for 
the dog's continued health.

Although small in stature an Italiangreyhound should eat about 5% of its anticipated body weight a day as it matures, as we use only quality and fresh ingredients that can become costly, we rely on Petco and its monthly membership, as you will not need as much food with a single dog but watch for advertised specials if you do have several pets we encourage you to check into their membership programs.

We are working with Whitestone Ranch in Lancaster, MO as you have to be able to have multiple lines in order to continue to breed IG's and Gina will be retiring soon, Annette has been a great partner.
