The Dalinset affix was established in 1975 and we have been actively involved in Italian Greyhounds for the past 8 years.

Our first IG was obtained from Wendy Clark in 1997 (Giorgio – Fishersmead Pipit at Dalinset.) We never looked back and are absolutely enchanted by the breed – to see them running free (we strongly believe they should have complete freedom wherever possible) takes ones breath away and their beauty and elegance coupled with their sheer exhuberance and joie de vivre are incomparable.

We now have 7 italians, 3 of which are homebred. All out IG's live and our puppies are reared, in the home and have enriched our lives in so many ways.

We have been delighted with our many splendid successes in the show ring. Giorgio gained his stud book number in 2000 with a RCC. Our first champion Santo (Ch Hanjy Helation at Dalinset) has 9CC's (including DCC Crufts 2001 and BIS Italian Greyhound Club Ch Show 2003) 4 BOB 3RCCs and a Gp4. Stella (Dalinset Star of the Morning) has 2CCs.

Santo's daughter Luna (Dalinset Canzone Alla Luna) has had an excellent show career so far with 2 CCs, 1BOB, 5 RCCs .
At Darlington 2004 she was awarded her first CC with BOB. The 2nd CC at Midland Counties Ch Show 2004.

We welcomed in late 2003 Artmeis Christopher Robin at Dalinset (Christopher) from Jo Amsel who has made a good start to his show career in 2004 with numerous wins at Ch and Open Level.
He was awarded Reserve CC at Darlington 2004 gaining his stud book number at just 12 months.

"Our latest litter was from "stella" by Hestia Nemo by Myroak.  They are already doing splendidly in the ring. Our own "Dora" (Dalinset Dorabella) has at the age of 6.5 months already won a large Puppy stakes class at SKC and at Bath Ch Show was awarded Reserve Bitch CC and Best Puppy, gaining her stud book entry at only 6 months of age.  Her littermates Dalinset Despina and Dalinset Guglielmo have also made promising starts."

Although we breed only a small number of litters we are absolutely committed to responsible and careful breeding of strong, healthy puppies who are sound and true to type.
