Italian Greyhound

Over the years, we have received hundreds of photographs, letters and e-mails telling us how much proud LAEXOTICA owners enjoy and love their dogs.  We have been remiss in not having been more diligent in saving them.  In the future, we are going to post many of them to this page



Dear Sylvia,

 
Just thought i would touch base with you and let you know how we aregoing with our new Italian Greyhound pup!
 
From the moment his little feet touched down in NSW he was been nothing but an absolute dream! I took him out of his crate at the airport for a potty break and the moment he hit the ground he jumped into my arms fora kiss and a cuddle with no hesitation. He has taken everything in his stride! He slept in the main bathroom all night and i didnt hear a peep until about 8.30am when i opened the door to let him out, he had used his papers and kept his bedroom tidy!
He is a very well adjusted and happy pooch, loves to play with his ball and other toys and loves chewing on his puppy bone. He has also taken to the duck (Forest ) very well, he isnt interested in him at all, but Forest seems to want to play all the time with him!
He loves Dad, and Dad just adores him. He carries him around at night when its cold in a blanket and whenever he wants to sleep, straight onto his lap! He even cries when he heads off to work in the morning! He is definitely a daddys boy!
He is avery smart boy, walking on the lead, sitting and waiting for his food,using his papers and his new doggy door.
Not once has he been an ounce of trouble and because of this we have christened him Cruz!Because he just cruises! Nothing fazes him!
 
Daniel and I would like to thank you for bringing back the happiness into our home since the passing of my 18 YO Iggie, Belle. It is wonderful to hear the little patters of tiny feet. We have missed it.
 
Thanks again.
 
Ally, Daniel, Forest and Cruz (NSW)



Merry Christmas from Ron, Nyrelle , Bella and Gus.

 Hi Sylvia,

I purchased one of your puppies some time ago now "La exotica Prado". She is doing very well and is very much a part of her family.

If you would like to see one of her puppies that is doing very well in the show ring and has been winning BOB since minor puppy i have put in the link for her profile on dogzonline.

It would be great to here from you shortly.   Warmest Regards  -  Ashleigh (NSW)




Hi Sylvia,

 

Thought I'd send a quick email to let you know Dante isdoing great! He is SO funny! A very entertaining little man. It's amazing howmuch he's grown already, he'll be off to get his 12 week shots next week. I'vebeen having a little trouble toilet training him but my chihuahua was the samein the beginning, took about 6 months for him to be fully house broken some I'mnot too worried. He's good most of the time but gets a little excited at timesand thinks he'll just go wherever he is! We'll get there though! He alreadyknows how to "sit" and "drop", learnt both commands veryquickly too.

 

So, all in all everything is going great guns thus far. Thanks,

 

Bianca - Carnegie VIC






 
 

Hello,
 
 
I'm Ami, I bought female italian greyhound. She was born in 30th of April in this year.
 
I just thought to send some pictures of her because everybody see her always say gorgeous ;-)
 
 
 
She's doing really good. She's friendly, clever and listen to us well.
 
She comes to us immediately once we call her.
 
She doesn't bark at all which is very good even when we having meal, she just waits her meal at her place quietly.
 
Also she's never done bad thing.
 
She doesn't bite, only bites her toys.
 
She doesn't jump up on a sofa unless we allow her to.
 
She doesn't enter kitchen and room unless we allow.
 
And she's just lovely!
 
 
 
So just want to tell that we are so happy to be with her and thank you.

Hi Sylvia,

This is just a quick e-mail to say thank you for being so good to deal with.  My puppy Nettie is a pappy, healthy little dog, clearly of exquisite breeding, who is obviously well socialized outside when she needs the toilet, and she comes when she is called.  You must have put some training in already, so thank you very much! already.  She asks to go

anyway, thanks again.  It has been a pleasure to deal with you.  I I ever need to get another puppy again, or I know of someone looking for a puppy, I will certainly recommend LAEXOTICA.  You are extremely professional.

I Thought you might like to see how beautiful Merlot has grown up to be.

She has a wonderful nature, very playful and loves evening cuddles on the couch.

  Thanks again for breding such wonderful dogs.  Cheers

Please find photo's attached.

 

We are very happy. He is a dream to train but already to quick for me.  Plus he always barks at me when I say 'no' !

 

thanks again  - Grant



 Hi Sylvia,

well their first night went pretty well.  they settled in to sleep early,and didn't wake until the sun started to rise.  they have been in quite a bit, but still are learning that toiletries are best done outside.  i am extremely happy with them both.  though i am still worried i might stand on one!  they are very small underfoot at this age :).  they have taken to their food and are wolfing down what i give them.  so far its gone as well as it could go.

So a big thankyou again.  just wanted to let you know how well they have settled, and how happy both myself and my wife are.

Hi Sylvia,

Well our baby is coming up for four years old. How the time has flown. I have to tell you she is the apple of both her Mum and Dad's eye...has us twisted around her little paw!



She loves to terrorise the cat (and vice versa I might add) however the two little adversaries are really the best of friends and play chaseyaround the back yard. Rhapsody gets lots of exercise and has ahealthy appetite. She loves CARROT grated on her food and will chomp on a carrot at any time.

We go on lots of night walks and she knows how to insist on a walk if we are a bit lazy.

Thebotanicalgardens are her favourite day trip. On an extended lead shedarts aboutbusily enjoying the smells and sights. She is veryobedient. Sits whentold. Stops at lights and waits for us to move.
Loves her comfort...and she has three beds dotted around the house. Has a treat or two at bed time and after toilet obediently goes to bed. She loves both her Mum and Dad but has a distinct leaning towards Nola. Jumps into her arms for a cuddle on numerous occasions. If we are sitting watching TV she will sleep at our feet for hours on end.
We have referred numerous people to the la exotica website. Rhapsody is always getting compliments.
Last weight check she was 6.5 kilo's.
Well, I've included a shot for you to see how she is today. We love our baby girl and cannot imagine life without her.
Best wishes to you,

Larry and Nola  (Richmond VIC)

HiSylvia, hope all is well, i have some great news and some photos for you.

 

Firstly,Nara is 50 days pregnant, we are extremely excited and are expecting 7 puppieswhich i am sure will have the same temperament and outstanding presence and bothCruz and Nara.

 

Wecouldn't have asked for a better pair of dogs!

 

Wemoved from Sydney to Brisbane recently onto acreage and they both just love it!They go for a swim in the dam every day and Cruz the little character is alwaysready to help feed the horses or mow the lawn. We have a temporary pool erectedhere and he jumps into it on super hot days and has a paddle around, its verycute to watch! We bought Daniel a boxer puppy and just as he helped raise Nara,he was the real Dad figure to the boxer as well. Very protective and watchfulmaking sure she doesn't get into trouble.

 

Iwill send you progressive photos as her litter progresses.

 

Thankyou again!


Ally, Daniel, Cruz, Nara, Supra and the 7 pups

 



Hi Sylvia,

here are some photos of little Rocky for you. I am happy if you want to add any to the website.
He is a very adorable little boy.Full of energy and cuddles! We are starting obedience classes tomorrow night which should be fun. As soon as he grows out of his biting/mouthing/chewing everything phase, then I would have to say he is the best little dog in the world!!
Anyway, hope is all well there at La Exotica,
thanks again , jade & little Rocky

Hi Sylvia and Juan,

Dudley is 6 months old now, so Katie and I thought we would send you some photos of how he’s going. He is a very happy dog and a pleasure to keep.

There is a nearly pic from the first week we had him and the other ones are recent out the front with a ball and some camera tricks! Hope you like them…

Thanks a lot

Hi Sylvia,  Just a note and some photos to let you know that our two girls are getting on fine and love each other and us and enjoy their daily walks along the Canning River and a free run when they go to our country property Tia loves to run.  Tia is going to be sterilized next week she is now 7 months old.  She is just a bit bigger than Gypsy taller and a lot more muscle and length.

I have sent you a photo of Anya skiing with her Dad
in Dinner Plain Victoria.
She took a bit of persuading to do her business in the cold white stuff...
but generally seems to love our mountain home!

Thanks for you help,

HelloSylvia and Juan,
 
    Just a quick e-mail to wish you both a happy,healthy and safe New Year. Prada has settled in beautifully with our twoother italians and she is quite robust. She was so happy to see that we hadanother two IGs, they all got along together immediately. The vet commented onhow beautiful and calm her temperament is. The vet said that they were all inbeautiful condition. We took them to Lorne, along the coast for aweeks break over New Years and I cannot tell you the number of people thatstopped us to ask us about our gorgeous italian girls. We told them that theycame from La Exotica Kennels, so a few more orders may come your way. The girlsreally enjoyed their walks and the attention. Thank you for breeding suchlovely pups, they bring us much joy every day.

Corrado isdoing wonderfully. He’s grown into a very outgoing boy. He’s 7.2kg and veryexcited to greet all people and dogs. So his name is really apt for him.Corrado means brave and he sure is a little brave heart.

 

He hasstolen mine and my husband’s heart and has bought so much joy into our lives.Attached is a proud pic for you I took with my mobile.
