Italian Greyhound Health Survey 2025

As part of our commitment to the ongoing health and wellbeing of the Italian Greyhound breed, we are conducting a health survey. The Kennel Club strongly encourages breed clubs to carry out such surveys to gather essential data, which helps us identify and address potential health concerns within our beloved breed.

Thank you to everyone who completed the Breed Health Survey, our Breed Health Coordinator, Joanne Liddy, has collated all the information from the results, which will be published here within the next few weeks (as of 23rd September 2025).

The findings from this survey will allow us to make informed decisions and recommendations to safeguard the future health of Italian Greyhounds.

Thank you for your time and support in helping us care for this wonderful breed.
