Dainty Acres Italian Greyhounds focuses on training their bred-by puppies with basic home skills, service dog skills, and show dog skills for AKC Conformation. They keep puppies until approximately 8 months old to ensure they are well-prepared. Training in their studio includes exercises like getting dogs comfortable on the Judges Exam table, using verbal cues like “touch” and “load-up,” and building a “food drive.” The training philosophy emphasizes mutual respect, admiration, and trust between dog and handler.
About the Trainer
Dainty Acres Italian Greyhounds is a small breeder located in the Texas Hill Country, between Austin and San Antonio. They specialize in Italian Greyhounds and focus on training their puppies for AKC Conformation Shows, basic home skills, and service dog skills. They keep puppies longer than other breeders, typically until they are 8 months old, to prepare them for their future careers and help new families communicate better with their new fur-family members.
The business emphasizes selective breeding based on health, temperament, and conformation, prioritizing health and mind/heart over beauty. They utilize genetic diversity testing through UC Davis to screen for breed-specific diseases like Familial Enamel Hypoplasia and Glaucoma. Dainty Acres also sells leather show leads and jewelry.
Accomplishments
Dainty Acres Italian Greyhounds has achieved multiple AKC championships with their dogs, including CH Dainty’s Big Red, CH Infiniti Cashmere, CH Dainty’s Cashmere Stetson, and Dainty’s Cashmere Beret. Their dogs have won Best of Breed, Grand Champion Select, Winners Bitch, and Best of Winners titles at various AKC shows. They also conduct genetic diversity testing for their breeding pairs through UC Davis to ensure the health of their lines, screening for conditions like Familial Enamel Hypoplasia and Glaucoma.
