Argos Italian Greyhounds
Meet the breeder
I'm Justin F., the breeder behind Argos Italian Greyhounds located in Los Angeles, CA. My goal is to produce a great representation of the Italian Greyhound and to continue improving the line with each generation. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for prior to joining their forever homes. It would be my pleasure to help you take the next step in adding this wonderful new addition to your family!
Q. & A. with Justin
Why did you start breeding?
A consistent love for the Italian Greyhound breed and dog training encouraged the beginning of my breeding program. I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; today’s breeders are the guardians of the future of the breed, and I take that to heart in every aspect of my program. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
I truly love the Italian Greyhound breed and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
