Good book. Wish at least some of the pictures were color.
Could do without the many many many pages of pedigrees, but each to their own.

Best Book!!!.......2007-04-01

This is a really awesome book, it is the first book that I have purchased that is so full of information, I would highly recommend this book for anyone!

Very Informative.......2007-03-08

Lilian covers everything there is to know about IGs. From puppies to adulthood and show dogs. Well written with pages and pages of photographs.

Iggy lovers will love this book.......2007-01-26

This is a wonderfully complete and detailed book, written by a person who knows iggies. If you are thinking of getting an IG or have one or more of the little precious furry creatures, then this is a must book. It is not a fancy book with glossy pages full of color photos. But it does have a good deal of photos, mostly black and white, of a number of IGs. Most of the photos are of iggies being shown at a dog show, but many many others of the precious sighthounds in all types of places, doing a lot of different things.

There are chapter after chapter of interesting discussions on a wide variety of issues and events that could occur during the life of an Italian Greyhound. IG parents are a special group of individuals - you have to be to live with an iggy or two or three or more. They are like potato chips - you can't have just one.

Italian Greyhound 21st Century.......2007-01-19

This is a very informative book for lovers of Italian Greyhounds, whether your interest is in IGs as a pet, show dog, or breeder. Lots of info on specifications, training, and health. Nice photos, though all black and white.

Book Description

Consider the awe-inspiring beauty of the perfect Grecian urn or a canvas rendered by one of the Renaissance masters and you have the allure of the miniature wonder we call the Italian Greyhound. This graceful greyhound in miniature defines elegance in a Toy dog, more slender, of course, than the much larger race dog whose name he shares. Having passed centuries on the divans of European nobility, the Italian Greyhound continues to ornament the homes of loving fanciers around the world, enchanting them with his affectionate, vivacious ways. As an involved and active member of a loving family, the Italian Greyhound thrives in the right home.

This book provides the much-needed factual information about Italian Greyhounds and their history, characteristics and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, obedience training and preventative health care. The new owner will welcome the author's experience and advice about puppy-proofing the home, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems. In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive.

a Godsend for the new IG owner.......2007-01-11

In Australia there are few Italian Greyhounds so information was scant when I was quite decided on having one of these glorious dogs for myself. Of two books on the subject I found, this one was the source of answers to nearly all of my questions. The only few unanswered ones were those that no-one could have imagined, being solely related to the particular very individual surprises my new little chap occasionally threw at me - but we managed to work them out between us.

Very good book with very good information.......2005-09-12

It is a great source of information! Very well presented and to the point. We couldn't ask for more.

Italian Greyhound: Complete Handbook.......2007-01-10

There are very few books available for the Italian Greyhound owner - this is a very valuable book as these are very special and unique dogs. A good reference book, having wonderful photos as well.

A good basic book about the breed.......2006-02-25

This is a good starting point for anyone interested in the breed however I do not feel it is worth the cover price. Like many other books of this nature that discuss basic breed specifics, it discusses Italian Greyhounds in a general optimistic way using glossy pages with lots of cute pictures. I would encorage any prospective owner to continue their research using other sources and not just this one.

IG book.......2005-01-20

This was probably the first book we read before getting our IG, and we found it very helpful. If you talk to a responsible breeder about IG's, they should tell you what you need to know about them. Also, one search on the internet and it will bring up the IGCA. We have several books related to IG's and this book is just fine. IG's definitely aren't the breed for everyone. And they aren't very hard to potty train, you just have to be willing to teach them.

careless representation.......2004-10-19

As a veterinary hospital manager and owner of a 5 yr old IG, I am always looking for new material on the breed. I adore my IG, but she definitely has some "issues" that separate her from other breeds. This book does not mention the horrific difficulty owners have trying to potty train their IGs; this is by far the major reason that they are surrendered! The book says that they can be trained to go outdoors in the cold....I say "good luck!" This book says that they aren't fragile, but IGs are known to break their long, thin legs without doing anything out of the ordinary - mine has broken the same leg twice just jumping off the bed (which she does multiple times per day). The book mentions they have special dental needs, which is true, but it does not indicate just how costly this can be. IGs may be sweet, but they are also prone to neurosis. The fact that the book does not mention any of the above issues is irresponsible in my book;this is not an easy breed to own and it is important not to mislead readers BEFORE they go out and get a pup.
I was even more upset that not once did this book discuss spay/neuter of your pup, nor did it mention rescue organizations as an option for adopting an IG. Almost every state has an IG rescue group (for all of the dogs given up due to behavioral issues, potty training, etc). As far as spay/neuter, I know several male IGs that were neutered later in life and have to wear a sock velcroed around their middle because they mark everything in sight. It is careless to write a book that does not discuss sterilization at a young age - if nothing else than for health reasons such as mammary and prostate cancer.
As wonderful as they are, I consider IGs to be "special needs" dogs - not once is this portrayed in the book.

Pretty good; not too bad.......2003-04-07

I bought this book after I had decided I was interested in Italian Greyhounds. It was pretty good, has lots of information if you plan on purchasing an Italian Greyhound puppy, however, there are a few statements made in this book that I disagreed with.

One statement was on the fact that you should buy an Italian Greyhound puppy instead of an adult because "you can train it the way you want to." He did not bring up the topic of the Italian Greyhound Club of America rescue.

The author seemed rather one-sided and wrote only on how he did things, not other possiblities. For instance--crate training. He did not mention that Italian Greyhounds can be litter box trained as well, or even go into that subject.

The book was whoppingly based on his experience, while I appreciate that, what works for one owner does not work for another, and I was looking for more research, which I did not find.

Also, there were no "further resources" for further information on Italian Greyhounds, such as the Italian Greyhound Post, IGCA, or other resources.

It is still a pretty good book if you are interested in the basic information of the breed, such as breeding and show standards, and there are some nice pictures, but I don't think it's worth the cover price.

Good on personality and characteristics of breed.......2006-08-09

Not as comprehensive as Italian Greyhounds 21st Century, this is an excellent book. It mostly features European, esp. British, IGs in the discussions. It is easy to read while including a lot of detail about the breed. I had not seen some of the information on the personality of this breed and how that affects training in other books I've read and that was very interesting to me. This book is much better than some of the light-weight glossy breed books [yes, it does have many high quality photos].

My first and favorite IG book.......2006-01-10

This is the first IG book that I purchased when I got my first IG (mind is an older edition, I think). I found it extremely useful in getting to know the quirks of IGs (and mine have many) and the photos are beautiful. I would note that this is NOT the breed for everyone. They are hard to housetrain (especially for those of us with irregular schedules) and they have tiny little bones. However, you can't beat them for sweetness.
I've not read the "IG in the 21st Century" book, but this is the best of any of the ones I have seen on the subject so far. Gave 4 stars only because this is a newer edition than mine and may have some changes.

Great Book.......2003-10-08

This is such a great book.And such a surprise.The writer does a great job in keeping details non boring with her stories of who has had these wonderful dogs and how lucky we are today to still have the breed..She covers the basics and then some.Facts can be boring to us who dont no the history of the breed and who shows what, but the way the writer plays on telling facts inside of details makes for fun, exciting non boring read.I was not sure what to expect from buying this book since it had not been reviewed..and Im ever so glad I took the chance and plunged ahead with getting it.It has delightful pictures.. It makes for very good reading,and not just a one time read either.Youl find yourself reaching for it again and again and it will make for a good read everytime...B.W.

Tony, Tony, Tony! is a delightful, "not for children only" book that illustrates the life of a very lucky 9.5lb Italian Greyhound.

With over 40 charming charcoal illustrations penciled by his "father", the profits from this book will go to benefit Italian Greyhound Rescue as well as Tony's larger cousins, The Greyhounds. A great gift for a great cause!!!

For Iggy fanatics only.......2007-01-05

There is little literature available for Italian Greyhound fanatics/owners. Therefore, this slender tome is going to be tempting. The breed is endlessly entertaining, fascinating, and different, so reading personal stories is inevitably going to appeal to the Iggy owner/ed. Obviously self-published, this book isn't very good, in spite of the subject matter. The illustrations aren't all that great either. The ability to write well, and to write entertainingly isn't evenly distributed, and it rather missed this author. She obviously loves her Iggy, and is trying to write a funny little book, but she misses the mark.

Adorable!.......2005-09-20

I loved it, kids love it, very cute & if you have an IG you will see how Tony is just like your own dog!

SO CUTE!!!.......2005-07-15

I just bought this book & absolutely loved it! Written from the dog's perspective- this book perfectly describes the endearing personality of an "Iggy". The charming illustrations depict so many of the adorable poses I see every day from my own IG. You definately don't need to be a kid to enjoy this book & if you share your life with an IG, you are almost guaranteed to see glimpses of your dog in Tony!

Excellent Read.......2005-05-31

This book is wonderfully illustrated to the personality of italian greyhound pups. You just can't help fall in love with the character. It's a great book for all ages.

Good, but not excellent..........2000-05-08

Though the book contains a very good coverage of the breed and substantial pedigree information, most of the material on feeding and training is out of date. The book could benefit from a major editorial update.

From a book design point of view, the book lacks professional polish. It is inexcusable that the book has no index.

Engaging and informative, a good reference for IG owners.......1999-04-01

This book is VERY readable, and provides critical insight on Italian Greyhounds (IGs) as pet, breed, or show prospects. The text occassionally used terms that were unfamiliar to me as a life-long pet dog owner (and went unexplained). However, the overall the book did an excellent job of educating me in the breed, what is involved in showing and breeding IGs, and what to expect of an IG as a pet. I purchased the book thinking there would be lots of color photos-- Not so ! Though there is an abundance of photos, they are black and white, and many are show photos (non-action poses with judges, handler/owners and ribbons). Also, a material portion of the book is dedicated to family trees of several IGs that have impacted the breed. This may, or may not, interest the prospective buyer of the book. Last word: As an owner of two IGs for the past year, I recommend this book for anyone interested in purchasing an IG. I learned allot!

Absolutely Essential.......1999-03-08

This book is by far the only book you'll ever need to help you with your IG. This is the Bible of IG ownership. Barber makes sure it's easy to understand, and any information you'll ever need is contained in these pages. Throw all the others away, trust me!

This is the IG Bible........1998-12-23

No other book can compare. Ms.Barber's compassion and love for this breed shows through, and no other book will put you on your way to happy IG ownership. Don't even bother with anything else!

THE definitive work on the Italian Greyhound........1998-06-27

This book is a MUST if you are considering being owned by this marvelous breed. Ms. Barber has invested much time and tears with these dogs, and willingly shares her insight into what makes an IG tick. If you already are priviledged enough to have an IG, or two, or more, this book will still answer many recurring questions about your life with this graceful animal.
