In Australia there are few Italian Greyhounds so information was scant when I was quite decided on having one of these glorious dogs for myself. Of two books on the subject I found, this one was the source of answers to nearly all of my questions. The only few unanswered ones were those that no-one could have imagined, being solely related to the particular very individual surprises my new little chap occasionally threw at me - but we managed to work them out between us.

This is a great book, especially if you have never had an "iggy" in your life. It gives lots of helpful suggestions from training to nutrition and the eccentricities of this breed. I highly recommend this book for anyone considering adding an IG to their family or who just wants to learn about the breed.

I just got an Italian Greyhound puppy and needed some help understanding the breed this book was very helpful seeing more from her eyes as a sight hound......I am actually able to make progress with her now and understand more with great write ups, tips and wonderful pics

This book is ok, but is largely based on the author's experiences. Also, some of his "facts" are incorrect (an Italian Greyhound can run 25 mph, not 40) and his methods are inconsistent. Its a good introduction to the breed but I would recomend the Lillian Barber book.

First, why did I read this book? Do I have an Italian Greyhound (aka IG or Iggys)? No. I am considering the breed in the future. I'm also writing a novel where one of the characters has an Iggy and does dog shows on the side.

This book is a very useful book on the subject of Italian Greyhounds. Objectively, I cannot find a problem with this book. Subjectively (or in my opinion which may not be yours), it did not sell me on the breed as other breed books I've read on other breeds (and the problem here may not be that the author, Dino Mazzanti, failed, but that the breed may not be right for me). Also, I found it to be the one most resembling a text book; the others were somewhat more fun to read.

Still, if you own or consider owning an Iggy, this is a very good book for you to have in your library. It has helped me know the breed a little better, which was my reason for reading it.

A very very useful book for any IG owner or anyone thinking of getting an IG.

It is a great source of information! Very well presented and to the point. We couldn't ask for more.

I love the books that i have gotten they are helpful and everything is good
