TUNAMARA

We have almost 50 years experience as Breeders, Owners and Exhibitors of purebred dogs and always aim to breed true to the ANKC breed standard for type, temperament correct height and sound conformation to succeed at high level in the show ring. All stud dogs are DNA tested for health issues. Tunamara dogs shine in the show rings in all States of Australia and overseas. We breed to maintain the quality in our dogs and sometimes have puppies available to loving pet or show homes. We keep a good gene pool to prevent inbreeding and add to it when needed. We are not afraid to import new bloodlines. All babies are fully vet checked, wormed regularly, microchipped (transferred) and vaccinated before rehoming. Puppies going to pet situations are desexed and provided with neuter registration papers (transferred to new owners) from DogsSA and free insurance is provided. Full papers for entires are available to approved ANKC registered breeder / show homes only. Every Tunamara puppy is bred and reared at home by us as we do not use outside agents to breed on our behalf. Check our webpage for all updates. Promotion for the breed in SA and encouragement for new Iggy fanciers and juniors has always been high on our agenda. We are very proud to be the breed sponsors for the Royal Adelaide Show since 1998. We are extremely proud to have been awarded the Dogzonline Best Australian IG Breeder award for the years 2013, 2014 & 2015, these awards based on the performance of our beloved dogs.

TAHRAE

Hi, My name is Liz Monahan and I have loved and trained dogs since I was just a child. I have worked as both a voluntary and professional trainer with dogs in performance sports and behavioural training. In 2006 our first Italian Greyhound 'Buffy' Ch Canmio Da Chosen One joined us as my son's first companion and show dog and became the foundation for Tahrae Kennels. Our dogs are an important part of our family and our puppies are whelped and raised in our home, we strive to produce puppies that will suit both performance and pet homes. Our dogs are health tested prior to breeding as we strive to produce the Finest Quality puppies. When contacting me please include some information about yourself and your family, including where you are from and how you see an Italian Greyhound fitting into your lifestyle. Please let me know if you are looking for an older dog or a puppy and whether you have owned a dog before, including the breed and whether you still currently own a dog. [email protected] In 2022 my partner Brian and I made an exciting move to the Riverland area of South Australia, a lifestyle change that included semi retirement for Brian. Our dogs love to meet people so visits and enquiries are always welcome. Please email directly to [email protected]. You are welcome to join our Facebook group, Tahrae, Greylag and Igamore Italian Greyhounds.

BARAD

We are located in Tasmania and are the proud owners of a small number of Italian Greyhounds that live with us as housemates, bed warmers, show mates & occasional parents. We have been involved with Italian Greyhounds for 18 years. Our foundation started with a lovely bitch from the Wondoan kennel in Queensland and a stunning girl we imported from the USA in 2009 from Bellagio Kennels. We are ever grateful to Wondoan and Bellagio Kennels for their ongoing support and friendship. We have now bred over 20 litters over the last 18 years and are extremely proud of the dogs we produce, both those that we show and those that are companion dogs. The breeding of healthy, socially adjusted confident Italian Greyhounds is our aim and finding fantastic loving homes for any dog that we breed is incredibly important to us. We currently have a strong show team being campaigned in Tasmania chiefly by the amazing Di Wazny. For current news, show and litter news our Facebook group is a good place to look. We genetically test all our dogs before they become parents.

BEESHOLME

I am in New Zealand and do not export. I do not keep a waiting list; please join the Facebook group for New Zealand Italian Greyhounds and watch for my puppy news there. I am hoping for a litter in Spring, 2023. I had wanted an Italian Greyhound since 1979, when I saw a photo in a book. Finally, Cassius (Champion Merikaez Yorick) made the journey to Beesholme from Australia in 2012. He became a show champion at the age of 1 year and 3 days. This darling boy was joined at Beesholme by the beautiful and very feisty Connie - Amorosa Constance, Agatha (Ch Moonstruck Eek-a-Mouse at Beesholme), Sybille (Tuarua Tabu at Beesholme), and Sybille's daughter Ruby (Beesholme Babsy Magoo), who has already done very well in the show ring. Latest additions include another Australian imported boy, Champion Tunamara Sugar Rush. Rush will be living with Caitlin and Nimbus and is owned in partnership with Karen Fee, Caitlin and Heather Straka. I also have the blue girl, Cricket, and the red fawn girl, Daisy, from Agatha and Cassius, as well as new pup Frida, from Sybille's final litter, sired by Rush: she is Beesholme Jelly Bean. Rush's litter to Cricket produced a gorgeous fawn girl, Beesholme Butterscotch, who is being shown in the South by owner Karen and who has at the age of 8 months twice been awarded Best in Group at Championship shows - on consecutive weekends! All of my dogs are health tested and will not be bred from unless they have satisfactory results.

BLANERNE

We have loved and shown Italian Greyhounds since 1990, breeding our first litter in 1992. We place high importance on breeding sound dogs with beautiful personalities, embodying the lovely Italian Greyhound type. Our puppies are raised in a family atmosphere where they meet people of all ages. They also interact with the other iggies and learn to live happily as part of a pack. They are usually good with other animals, but great care must be taken when introducing them to chooks and other birds. Prospective puppy owners are very welcome to visit and meet our beautiful Italian Greyhounds. Check out our Face Book page for Blanerne Italian Greyhounds.

IGNATIUSBELL

IGNATIUSBELL is a small kennel, focusing on producing in small but high quality of show or pet Italian Greyhounds. With significant focus on bone, confirmation, movement, colour and temperament. All our babies are raised in house, therefore the significance of being small. The plan is to breed for purpose only, mainly concentrating on show quality and performance. However not all our puppies need to go to a show home, they are a loyal loving family member and make the best companion for anyone looking for a special companion that they have the time to be in their life on a constant daily basis. Very much the indoor type of dog, however being on a property they love to stretch and run daily.

We pride ourselves on the fantastic temperaments, and conformation of our dogs, and have consistently held a top 5 Breeder spot in Australia since breeding our special litter "The Operatics". No small feat when considering how infrequently we breed! We happily work with show and sporting families, though we also adore our pet families. Taking on a Kosmos hound means you have 2 new friends for life! We health test all of our puppies, and follow the principles of puppy culture when raising our litters. We actively show our dogs, and our pups compete in a variety of sports from Jumping, Agility, Rally all the way through to Lure coursing and Sprint Dog. Our dogs have perfect health scores (available on request), and fabulous temperaments, but most of all they are much loved members of our families. We have recently finished off our first entire Grand Champion, and have exciting litter plans coming up. The Future Is Bright At Kosmos! Please reach out any time to discuss this special little breed! We are always more than happy to chat!
