About Us
Hi! My name is Becca and welcome to my website. I am an only child and for as long as I can remember, animals have been my best friends. In the beginning it was stray kittens that I saved, then I moved on to dogs. In my teens I worked in a racehorse barn and showed quarter horses. After high school I went to college to take the courses to get into vet school, while also working in a vet clinic. After college I changed direction a bit and opened my own business in 1995...a grooming shop. I had that business for 20 years before I sold it! In 2005 I went back to college and became an RN. Not long after that...my son's father died, and I started breeding to have an income so I could be home with him more during that difficult time. I have been breeding for over 16 years now! I am passionate about my dogs and OCD (as any good nurse should be!) about their health and well being :-).
Why Iggys?
What can I say....they are just so darn cute! They are funny, quirky, and they make me laugh! It all started with my uncle who had Italian Greyhounds. He had a play yard for them outside his home, and when we would drive up they would be jumping FLAT FOOTED to see us over the fence. It looked like they were jumping on trampolines it was hysterical! That was a wrap for my son and I ...so we set out to learn as much as we could about the breed, and seek out dogs that we knew were healthy and had good temperaments to start our breeding program. Since then I have learned so much about these goofy, loving little dogs!
Our Commitment
We are committed to the health and happiness of our dogs. If our dogs are healthy and happy, then the puppies we raise will be also. I will never knowingly breed an adult dog with a known defect or issue. Most of my IG's come from champion bloodlines, with extensive health testing having been done on their parents. We socialize our puppies to the max with children and other dogs as well as other stimuli to get them ready for a new loving home environment. Please see the link at the top "prepare for puppy" to review our health guarantee. My goal is to ensure that any puppy adopted from me is healthy, sound and has a temperament that matches the new owners. I want my puppies to give their new families as much joy as ours give us!
