Refinement and Love

            in a Small Package

Welcome to MOSA, home to Italian greyhounds that are distinctive, outgoing, and full of personality. All of these qualities are what distinguish our puppies and dogs from Many you will find and make them a perfect choice for those who want an Italian Greyhound as a family companion.

We have researced extensively and worked hard to put together what we consider to be a great group of Italian Greyhounds and are sure once you see them you will agree.

Our dogs were selected not only for thier beauty and conformation to the AKC Italian Greyhound standards but, for the overall health that has been proven and bred into the lines we have selcted.

 We selected our IGs from what we consider to be the best of the best. Our breedings are planned carefully doing our best to adhere to (AKC) breed standards: health, gait, temperment and conformation as well as what some forget an outgoing personality! Our Italian greyhounds are very distinctive in looks as well personality.

 We have been blessed and fortunate to have been able to have such great dogs as well as such great mentors to guide us and those that entrusted us to allow thier dogs to become a part of our family and the foundation for our breeding program.

We are not a kennel our dogs are first and foremost a part of our family, just as they started out, living in our home and interacting with us on a daily basis. Not in a separate kennel as many breeders choose to do. Not that kennels are bad but we feel that to truly be a part of the family and have the proper socialization they should be in the home. This is our choice and desired method of rearing puppies to ensure they have a sparkling, outgoing personality and are family oriented.

In return when you get a MOSA puppy or dog you can trust you are  getting one that is suited to family life. Not one that is "timid" or "scared" and runs off from you.When you first meet your New IG you will fall in love instantly.

 Distinctive type and  friendly, outgoing personlaities are what make MOSA Italian Greyhounds stand out from most and excellent family companions.

Italian Greyhounds were not meant to be a breed that is "timid" and "hesitant" with people like so many you may find today. They were originally bred to be a confident, outgoing breed that sought out and prefered the companionship of people.

We believe that when Italian Greyhounds are properly bred and socialized you in return eliminate the bad traits you may have heard associated with the breed today and instead you get one that will be a loving family companion.

 MOSA  puppies and dogs are just that very outgoing with a sparkling personality that you and others will notice right away. As well very elegant distintive looks that will turn heads.We are very proud of all of our MOSA IGs that are bringing so much happines, love, smiles and companionship to thier families in only a way an IG can!.

Bred for quality and standard, with emphasis on temperment.   Raised with love by us to give love to your family.  

Within the IG breed today there are many variations that differ quite significantly from each other. Our goal and desire is to be consitent in what we produce.

We believe to achieve consitent standards you can only do that by starting with dogs that possess those qualities that you wish to produce. In selecting our dogs we have kept to this standard and have only chosen dogs that  possess the qualities we want and the best we can find. Our goal is to reproduce those traits we find best and strive for even better.

While the AKC has standards that define the IG breed, there are many definitions and choices among breeders to what the ideal IG is and not all have the same idea of what the "perfect" IG is.

MOSA's ideal dog is elegant, refined, with an outgoing, confident temperment and personality. We have chosen dogs with these qualities to produce our own dogs. What we want to see is a dog that is "POETRY IN MOTION" when it moves and has a very friendly and loving personality.  Our dogs are refined and elegant. We breed to the AKC standard but at the small end of the height scale (the height ranges from 13"-18") our ideal is 13"-15" at the shoulders and around 10-15 lbs. We love to see a very expressive face, a deep chest and tucked waist that flows into a nice "S" silhouette shape. Other qualities we we like to see are a curve to the top line along with the long flowing legs like a deer to give a nice step in their movement. . The IG is defined as a "toy"and as we breed to achieve standard we also keep the idea of "toy" in mind which for us means a small dog.  A lap dog that you can cuddle and hold in your lap without being overwhelmed with the size but still within the AKC standards so they can be shown in the ring.

Our support doesn't end once you recieve your new puppy,it continues for the life of each puppy we produce. We take our responsibility seriously and stand behind our puppies with pride.

MOSA Italian Greyhounds are raised in our home and interact with us on a daily basis. We do our very best to carefully place our puppies and dogs in their new homes. We provide a written health guarantee with every dog we place. As well we offer support for thier families. If we don't know an answer we will do our best to find it for you. 

 You can rest assured and have peace of mind when you choose a MOSA puppy. You not only get a puppy you are part of our extended family.
