IGs are Greyhounds in miniature—more slender, but a Greyhound’s equal in grace and elegance. Standing ideally 13 to 15
inches at the shoulder, they present the sleek, curving lines common to all coursing hounds. Distinguishing features are
the long, fine-boned legs.
IGs combine the attentiveness of lapdogs with the complexity of ancient, aristocratic hounds. Bred for centuries to be
doting companions and jesters, these high-stepping charmers refuse to be ignored. “On the whole,” writes an IG expert,
“the breed would much rather be in your lap or bed than on the floor.” They are, though, true sighthounds and will bolt
after quick-moving prey at the drop of a cat. A short-coat, low-fat breed, IGs require extra care in cold weather
I have a gorgeous little iggy called Iggy Smallz (after the notorious BIG of course!?) He was born on 2nd March 2020 and it was a lockdown decision to get him. The best lockdown decision ever. You can see his beautiful weasel face up top or head to instagram and give us a follow below.
