Meet the breeder
I'm Linda L., the breeder behind Laviere IG's located in Spring, TX. I've been a breeder for 54 years and have fallen in love with Italian Greyhounds! I'm so grateful to have them in my life. My dogs have proven to be amazing companions and great in the show ring. My focus is on maintaining the breed standard by raising healthy puppies with excellent temperaments.
Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families. I wanted to put my passion for Italian Greyhounds to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is my way to give back to the breed. I want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine. Each pup is cherished from the moment of birth and given the best start I can possibly provide.What makes your program special?
My knowledge of dogs goes way back and my love for them goes even further! 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. I am dedicated to preparing my puppies to thrive as their best selves, and I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
