I'm SHEILA C., the breeder behind Heartland Iggys located in Newalla, OK. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and intelligence. We strive to produce the best overall pets and family members. The sweet, loyal, and playful disposition of our dogs inspired us to begin responsibly breeding to expand the breed and share them with others. We are small backyard breeders.
Q. & A. with SHEILA
Why did you start breeding?
We had some friends that were breeders that approach us and thought we would be great breeders. They taught us all about breeding. We have been following their instructions with great success for the last 5 years. Italian Greyhounds are beautiful dogs to be around all of the time.
What makes your program special?
We are a small backyard breeder. We love and care for our puppies as our own pets. We work hard to ensure each puppy is well cared for, healthy, and social. We treat each puppy as our only forever pet; so that they are ready to be loved by you.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn, blue fawn, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
