Meet the breeder

I'm Richard M., the breeder behind Fisher Link located in Brooksville, FL. Originally, my wife purchased Steven, our Male, and I was not thrilled. He is a stud of the breed, strong legs, good health the shadow photo of an IG. I felt fixing him would be a waste of a very good IG, so we purchased Gina. See the Live Litter Cam.

Q. & A. with Richard

  • Why did you start breeding?

    A total accident. Steven the IG my wife purchased ended up being the perfect healthy stud of a male IG. We than purchased Gina, after that well we are now breeders. With the goal of bringing loving IG Velcro Dogs to loving homes! our live liter cam

  • What makes your program special?

    The dogs live and learn to be part of an integral environment. We work hard to socialize our IG's as they are typically skidish dogs. Our goal is to introduce them to as many environments, sounds, and people as possible while they are young, to build a level of comfort with society. This is work, but ultimately, the most rewarding engineering project I have done. Puppies will love you forever!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue fawn and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Good level

Fisher Link reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Italian Greyhounds.

  • Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
