AKC Italian Greyhounds
Our Dogs
Moira
Moira is the matriarch of our family and our breeding program. She is most likely retired but may have one more litter later on. She is mom to Peach, Bubbles, Pickles, and Trixie.
Donut
Donut is a one year old red and white irish marked female. She is on the petite side of average standing around 13" tall. Donut is major pointed but unfinished. She was minimally shown due to being overshadowed by other dogs. She's proven herself to be a great producer.

Peach is a beautiful 3 year old. She completed her AKC GCH with minimal showing. She is a group placing and owner handled group winner.

Ch Ruscelli Say You'll Remember Me
Pickles is from our January 2023 litter, out of Moira and Zo. He speedily finished his AKC champion title from the puppy classes, going out with a bang as winners dog and best of winners at our Orlando regional specialty. I love this boy's balanced gait, pretty topline and so much more. He is sweet, intelligent and eager to please his people.
GCH CH Ruscelli Storyteller - Tillie
Tillie is from our Dec 2023 litter. She is about 13 ¾" and 8lbs. Tiny girl with a big personality. Moderate to high energy, she is not yet at the age where she's a true adult. She finished her championship and grand championship with very minimal showing.

Ruscelli's Focused Performance - Cher
Cher is littermate to Tillie and is just starting her show career. She has both of her majors needed for her AKC champion title. She has a very friendly outgoing temperament. We have just begun her health testing so some of it is done but not yet submitted to OFA. Some cannot be done yet due to age. She is no where near breeding age, so that is why.

He's a bit chunky now but working on a diet and exercise plan now. At his first ever show, first time in the ring he was winners dog and best of opposite over specials for a 4pt major under Judge Steve Hayden. We are looking forward to seeing what this boy does!

About Us
About Us
Hi! My name is Megan.
I am an insurance professional by trade, licensed in the state of Florida and South Carolina. Breeding and showing dogs will never be my sole source of income. I don't do this for money, fame, or anything else other than improving the breed. My vision is producing performance sports dogs that wow. Ethical preservation breeding is something I feel very strongly about.
In my past I was a horse trainer and riding instructor. I was heavily involved with reconditioning horses post illness and injury as well. Growing up my parent was a dog trainer and animal behaviorist. This meant between the horses and dogs, I was never without some sort of four-legged animal. I have handled many different types of dogs from terriers to working to toy. The toy group completely has my entire heart.
