Parent health testing
Great level
Tuncap's Italian Greyhounds 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
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.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
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.
DNA Profile
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).

Russell Tuncap is a true professional. He takes immaculate care of his dogs, and the breeding program is impeccable. He went the extra mile with all the shots, even to the 12th week to be certain of no reactions, and the DNA testing, chipping, and all kinds of gifts upon picking up my puppy Quattro in person, including a blanket made by his dear wife for my Quattro. He is a very kind and thoughtful person. I highly recommend Russell and a breeder. You will be lucky to get one of his beautiful Italian Greyhounds.

+5Russell is everything you’d want in a breeder. He genuinely loves and takes great care of his dogs. He’s always responsive (both before and after receiving our pup) and super knowledgeable. We got Colletto, our adorable little snuggler, from him when he was around 5 months old. Those first five months with Russell gave Colletto a solid foundation that really helped him grow into the sweet, well-behaved dog he is now. Colletto isn’t just show worthy cute—he’s got some serious talent in dog sports, too! Russell’s dogs are versatile and fit into all kinds of lifestyles. We adore Colletto and are so thankful to Russell for bringing such joy into our lives.
