I'm Jenya A., the breeder behind Hunter_Moon Hounds located in Duvall, WA. Our vision of the Italian Greyhound is a graceful, noble companion dog. We focus on qualities that make IGs successful show dogs as well as pleasant companions. The main qualities we breed for are an elegant breed type with correct anatomy and typical movements, and excellent health.
Q. & A. with Jenya
Why did you start breeding?
I moved from Ukraine to the USA in 2012, and at one point, I fell in love with idea of owning an Italian Greyhound. However, my search for the
perfect one here was unsuccessful. That's when I made the decision to bring an exceptional girl from Ukraine and start my own kennel-a place dedicated to breeding IG of true European type, following the highest standards for the breed.
What makes your program special?
For me, breeding is not about numbers, it is about excellence. My goal is to bring elegance, grace, and the finest quality to the breed, sharing these extraordinary dogs with American families who appreciate ther beauty, breed, and charm . Our Dogs are Our Family
When passing our puppies to new owners, we provide full support and consultations on how to care for, handle, and raise an children.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, blue, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Jenya is an amazing breeder and dog mom. Her knowledge, love and attention to her puppies and moms are top tier. I was fortunate to live in the area, so I was able to meet her, mom and puppies during the process. If you are looking for a "true" Italian greyhound, she is the breeder you want! If/when I get another pup, I will only want another from her!
