So why would you even consider breeding of one to try and use in the field Carl 

Kin el, his answer to this should be a good read, just for amusement value!  Lol ?

They are a Toy breed. Useless for any hunting. Biggest health problem with them is breaking their legs jumping off the sofa. If you want a "mini greyhound" get a Whippet ? Cheers.

An Australian Borzoi, Im sure the owner won't mind me posting the pic, in fact, I think he may be a member on here; A UK Borzoi I judged at a show some years ago; Cheers.

Believe it or not, I will be more than likely jumped on , but this Italian stops plenty rabbits, it had plenty  of drive ,it’s crazy when it gets a scent but the same as last time this topic arose ,th

He will just say I'm a unworthy student that doesn't deserve a reply from such a legend that is Carl Williams from South Wales or something along those lines

You need to step carefully with this particular cross very fragile and they are very often in a veterinary surgery  due to their limbs getting busted i would have thought that they would make terrific little ratters but considering they are so dainty and subsequently not well boned to bolt a full flighted small conie id personality  put it across a strong well balanced whippet that stands 19 or 20 inches to the withers and subsequently further more select a hard gtit whippet in order to proceed  in future by you ? putting  it to a flighty relatively small purebred greyhound I wish you luck!!!!

real shame, like a lot of dogs seems that when they arent bred to work they becoming walking vet bills

I'm not slandering the Italian greyhound off I simply tried to allow him thinking otherwise there are breeding projects he can have a crack at if he wants a good well boned running dog bred into this type of petet breed ? then stand back  and ask the leading authorities that have breeding educated knowledge and long standing experience in the game for in absolute truthfulness you will get someone who will help you with what to use with your Italian greyhound  im not going to really suggest about what id do?.good luck!

Truthfully the Italian grey is really not a dog created ? for the hunting field simply because they are not armoured up for sports....in so far as when does a bloodline become your own simply because you have a personal affix that doesn't mean to actually alleviate the fact that others can endeavour to prevai cloning your lurcher type ? or longdog strain!!!!!

See carl that's what you should of told him in the first place instead of put it to a whippet .so others can endeavour to clone your breeding of  a grew   behave and how you don't even own one or bred one for years so there is no strain to copy

I spoke to a fella this morning who had a Italian grey x whippet ,it just a pet and to be honest I couldn't see this little thing doing a shift on rabbits as it looked very weak and fragile even with a whippet bred into the mix ,it looked like it could be quick but its legs looked fragile so I couldn't imagine a pure doing work apart from sitting looking pretty
