Testimonials

It’s going to be difficult conveying the gratitude and admiration I have for Italian Greyhound Breeder extraordinaire, Rythm Kennel’s Gail Giles, without writing a short novel.
Almost 7 years ago I started to stumble through world of Italian greyhounds in my search for an IG puppy. A lot of research led me to Gail Giles. The rest, as they say is history.
Not only am I the proudest mama to the most beautiful Iggy Girls, but I have gained a family with Gail ( I literally called and emailed her more than my own parents!)
She patiently guided and supported me through every concern I had .. sometimes at all hours of the night... She patiently accepts that I will ALWAYS call her before the vet simply because... I actually trust her advice more.
I have heard of so many breeders who hand you a puppy and pretty much render themselves inaccessible . Not so Gail.... If you are lucky enough to be entrusted with one of her perfect puppies, you join her extended family and always have her in your court
And then there are the dogs... one only has to look at the long line of champions she has bred to understand she is in every way a next level breeder
My only note of caution when choosing to raise one of Gails puppies is that you wont want to stop at one!

Rythm puppies and dogs are treated like family throughout their lifetime, even if they move on to their new furever homes. My puppy still hears Gail’s voice and goes to find her...12 years later. That’s more than a breeder...that’s family.

I am fortunate to be blessed with two of Gail’s babies.  I was a new dog owner with countless questions and no expectations but soon learned when you get one of these special dogs from Rythm, you aren’t just getting a puppy, you’re inheriting a family.  Falling in love with the Italian Greyhound breed was inevitable - needless to say it was an easy decision to add a second Rythm pup to our pack 5 years after bringing home my first.  I can’t even begin to describe my gratitude for the amount of care, advice, support & guidance I’ve received from Gail over the years.  The dogs do not forget her; she is truly amazing and her puppies are too!

Why raw?

Over the years we have seen more and more health problems arise in dogs which resulted in our decision to change our feeding regime. Our dogs eat raw meat, meaty bones and vegetables when they will accept them.

OUR HISTORY

Years ago our parents fed their dogs from the table, and our dogs likely eat better than their human companions!!! Their skin is clear, their teeth are clean and their digestive systems are healthy and sound.

WHY?

The decision to feed raw should not be taken lightly. Educate yourself before you take the plunge. Our puppy people have our complete support and there are sites where you can get good health information.
