Q. & A. with Dominic
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding Italian Greyhounds through my love for the breed and, most importantly, through Capri. Capri wasn’t just my introduction to Italian Greyhounds—she was the dog that completely captured my heart and changed everything for me. Through her, I fell in love with the breed’s elegance, sensitivity, and deep devotion to their people.What makes your program special?
What makes my breeding program special is the foundation it’s being built on—patience, intention, and mentorship. Even though I haven’t had my first litter yet, I’ve chosen to prioritize learning, preparation, and doing things the right way from the very beginning.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
