MERIKAEZ Italian Greyhounds & other Sighthounds

The Hobart Royal is easily the biggest show in Tasmania with a lot of visiting dogs from the mainland states. The latest one in October 2002 was very successful for us.

We think that this is the first time that an IG has won such an award at a Royal Show since about 1978.
We regret that the following picture does not do him justice, in fact it is quite woeful. In this picture Killer is leaning back and he doesn't really look like this at all. However this is the best picture we have to capture this moment in Italian Greyhound history.
