ABOUT THE BREEDER

Marchwind Italian Greyhounds

Marchwind Italian Greyhounds has been breeding Italian Greyhounds for show and pet for over 30 years. Our dog kennels have big yards and are in a safe, climate controlled environment. We have small groups of dogs together, loose in their big yards most of the time. We have our dogs on ideal gourmet diets, in low stress environments, with lots of human contact and intensive early puppy handling.

THE SPORT OF SHOWING DOGS

         PET OR SHOW

There has been recent discussion about the difference between pet and show quality.   

No matter how promising a puppy looks at 8 weeks of age, there is no way to know if that puppy will make it in the show ring.  Every breeder would like to think that every puppy from their kennel is a potential show dog.  Experienced breeders however realize that only 1 in 20 or more make it.  This is what makes dog shows challenging with a lot of components.

         Showing dogs is a sport where amateur owners have to compete with professional handlers on an equal basis. 

A lot of training, advertising, politicking, and experience are required on the part of the handler.  No matter how perfect your ig is, you are not necessarily going to win.  Presentation is a big factor.  Judges are more likely to award dogs and handlers that they have seen before over strangers. 

         Thousands of dollars are spent advertising in dog show magazines to this purpose, and thousands of dollars are spent on professional handlers.

        In conclusion, no matter how perfect a specimen your ig puppy is, you may never win in the show ring.  That does not mean there is something wrong with your dog.

        If you want to show your dog, you have my blessing and I will help and advise you in any way I can, but I can never offer a championship guarantee and neither can anyone else.
