Welcome to the Italian Greyhound Club of America.
Our mission is to preserve and protect the unique qualities of our breed and to share our knowledge with others. We hope this web site is helpful to you. We have a lot of information about Italian greyhounds: How and where to obtain an IG, how to care for and train your IG and sporting activities you can share with your IG.

We are a member club of the American Kennel Club. The IGCA is what is known in the dog world as the "parent" or National breed" club for Italian greyhounds.

In addition to educating the public about the breed, two of the IGCA's main functions are rescue and health research. Be sure to check out our merchandise offerings and use our affiliated vendors so we can continue to fund these worthwhile projects.

Italian Greyhound 2012 Health Survey
Calling all IG owners!

Please participate in the Van Andel Health Survey. Keep in mind that it's just as important to find out how many IGs out there have no health problems as it is to find the types and frequency of diseases in our breed. Your privacy is protected, your information is seen only by the researchers: the IGCA Health Committee will only get the statistics. Your participation will help health researchers and responsible breeders.
