AKC Italian Greyhounds
Our Dogs
Moira - retired
Moira is the matriarch of our family and our breeding program. She is mom to Peach, Bubbles, Pickles, and Trixie. She has more than earned her retirement. We've considered 1 last litter for her, however, she has already given us so much.
Donut - retired
Donut is a 5 year old girl, retired from showing and breeding. She has given us 3 beautiful litters of puppies. So far 1 grand champion, and 3 champions. One more that is pointed and working on her championship.
She's also given us a number of wonderful dogs that are excellent companions to families across the USA. Her outgoing, happy, workable temperament is inherited by her puppies.

Ch Ruscelli Say You'll Remember Me
Pickles is from our January 2023 litter, out of Moira and Zo. He speedily finished his AKC champion title from the puppy classes, going out with a bang as winners dog and best of winners at our Orlando regional specialty. I love this boy's balanced gait, pretty topline and so much more. He is sweet, intelligent and eager to please his people.

About Us
About Us
Hi! My name is Megan.
I am an insurance professional by trade, licensed in the state of Florida and South Carolina. Breeding and showing dogs will never be my sole source of income. I don't do this for money, fame, or anything else other than improving the breed. My vision is producing performance sports dogs that wow. Ethical preservation breeding is something I feel very strongly about.
In my past I was a horse trainer and riding instructor. I was heavily involved with reconditioning horses post illness and injury as well. Growing up my parent was a dog trainer and animal behaviorist. This meant between the horses and dogs, I was never without some sort of four-legged animal. I have handled many different types of dogs from terriers to working to toy. The toy group completely has my entire heart.
