Wrote up quite a bit about the breed. This information is based on my own experiance and documentation from the Breeder My iggy comes from :) If you want to check it, I'll scan it in for you, but it's in Norwegian... MasterDirk

I removed:

Greyhounds are extremely fast dogs and keen hunters who will chase a lure, so they are often used for greyhound racing.

I think this refers only to the larger breed, as far as I know Italian Greyhounds are not used for racing. Please replace if I'm wrong -- sannse 17:27, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

There is some racing of Iggy's, but nothing nearly s organized as for their larger brethren. Until someone makes time to write a more extensive article I think it's right to remove this as it's not a major Iggy-thing (racing, that is). MasterDirk 11:12, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Personally, I'm always surprised they can walk on those little thin legs - let alone run! ;) -- sannse 11:41, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

- Quite a few IGs have been lately track racing in Finland and they have good racers elsewhere in Europe, too :-) And they enjoy racing tremendously! - Hanna

Would you like to write up a bit about this racing? MasterDirk
