There are over 20 Championship Shows for Italian Greyhounds all over the country each year, plus two breed-specialist Open Shows run by the Italian Greyhound Club so it’s really very easy to go along and meet lots of IGs and their owners at these shows.

Below is a list of shows where Italian Greyhound classes are included. All are Championship Shows except where indicated, and all of the shows see consistent numbers of Italian Greyhounds entering each year.

Entry is free to all of the shows with the exception of Crufts, and many allow “spectator dogs”. There may be a small charge for parking at some shows. Show name, venue with link to map, and date for Italian Greyhound judging listed.
