Italian Greyhound Breeding Program

Breeding Magnificent Italian Greyhounds

I have established a reputation for breeding some of the most magnificent Italian Greyhounds. This achievement is the result of meticulous breeding practices guided by an outstanding mentor for over three decades. I closely monitor type and genetics. Layne's IGs have imported Italian Greyhounds from Spain and Russia to enrich our genetic pool, thus fostering a healthier lineage. Over the years, I have developed a distinctively hound-like head, which is among the most sought-after traits.

Healthy Happy Puppies

My puppies are nurtured in the comfort of my home, exposed to a lively environment filled with noise and constant human interaction. They receive frequent handling and affection throughout the day, eagerly offering kisses and enjoying cuddles, always pampered before their departure to their new home. Giving them their best start with their house training, guiding them to transition from their bed to newspaper for relief as they begin to walk. I invite prospective owners to bond with their chosen puppy through weekly visits, ensuring that by the time they are ready to leave, they are well-adjusted and sociable. Comprehensive VGL Genetic testing has been conducted on my Italian Greyhounds.

Exceptional Quality and Conformation

Italian Greyhounds possess distinctive qualities. They are smart, loving, playful, and affectionate, with a fondness for cuddling. They enjoy snuggling up in your lap and showering you with kisses. My puppies are bred with careful attention to type and adherence to AKC standards, standing 12"-15" tall and weighing 8-14 lbs. For the past 30 years, we have preserved their elegant appearance and high-stepping gait. My puppies have wonderful temperaments and are friendly with strangers. 

Over the years, Layne’s Italian Greyhounds has placed puppies in carefully selected homes throughout the United States and internationally, with placements across North America, the Caribbean, Europe, and South America.

Our Puppies

For over 30 years, Layne's Italian Greyhounds has specialized in breeding Italian Greyhounds. Linda Layne is committed to producing healthy, genetically sound puppies with exceptional and friendly temperaments.


Situated in West Central Florida, Layne's Italian Greyhounds focuses on breeding high-quality Italian Greyhound puppies. Linda adheres to the AKC Standard to ensure each puppy is healthy and sound, suitable as either a beloved pet or a show-quality Italian Greyhound. Our IG puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club, limited registration.  Raised in our home, these AKC-registered Italian Greyhound puppies are paper trained and well-socialized.


Known as Sighthounds or Gazehounds, Italian Greyhounds can sprint at high speeds. These miniature greyhounds thrive in spaces where they can run, with a large fenced yard being ideal. Nonetheless, they adapt well to apartment living as they are affectionate lap dogs and can be walked or trained to use a litter box.


Each puppy is provided with a Florida Health Certificate, having been examined by a veterinarian and kept up-to-date with vaccinations.
