Italian Greyhounds

After deciding earlier this year (2006) to not breed Dachshunds anymore I contemplated (for about a day)
to not be involved in the breeding aspect of the dog world at all. I then came to my senses and started a journey
of studying different breeds. What other breeds could I live with? I can tell you there were not too many.

I wanted small and NO hair. Not very many breeds fall into both of these categories.
I wanted small but I also wanted a similar temperament to the Dachshund. I lost track of how many books I read.
Every book brought me to the same conclusion..................I wanted an IG.

Even when I felt that this was my final decision I still kept on studying. I had to be sure that they were
the breed for me. I started contacting some of the top kennels in the USA and inquiring about puppies.

I contacted Roseanne Rogers of Mira Kennels and she informed me she had an older red female puppy available and I jumped at the chance. On June 4th, 2007 we brought Mira Love Beckoned "Flame" home. My husband Dave and
I drove 1800 miles round trip to pick Flame up in Oregon. A trip well worth taking. We have fallen in love with
"Flame" and I *KNOW* I have chosen the right path.
