The Italian Greyhound Club

Founded 1900 — Kennel Club Registered

Shows & Events

Junior HandlersThe Club organises and attends several events throughout the year, many of which non-members are welcome to come along to too.

We encourage all of our members to come along and get involved, even if you’re not showing your dogs.

If you are looking into whether or not Italian Greyhounds are the dogs for you, or if you’re thinking about an Italian Greyhound as a companion dog or to show, we encourage you to come along to any of our shows or other events such as Discover Dogs.

There are lots of opportunities for you to meet Italian Greyhounds in person, and to talk to their owners and breeders to find out more about the breed.
