Newsflash

The breed is an old one and is believed to have originated more than 2,000 years ago in the countries now known as Greece and Turkey. This belief is based on the depiction of miniature greyhounds in the early decorative arts of these countries and on the archaeological discovery of small greyhound skeletons.

We are Dwain and Betty Phillippi and our kennel name is Philli. Which makes our dogs known as Philli Italian Greyhounds.

Our first Italian Greyhound was Misty (1987) and her registered name was Ch Merrimac Lenlo Mystique. We waited about 6 months to get our little blue and white girl from Leonard Krosschell (Lenlo's Italian Greyhounds). Leonard and Lois became our good friends for many years.

Through the years we have had many of our Italian Greyhounds become Champions in the United States, and also in Canada. We often have dogs available for pet homes, including some of our dogs shown on Champs page, as well as some on the Pets page. Occasionally will have puppies also, please feel free to contact us with questions.

We would like to be able to name all the new friends we have made since we started breeding and showing Italian Greyhounds. They are a wonderful bunch of people. We only show in conformation but enjoy watching the other events that our wonderful breed participates in.
