Greyhounds Big and Small: Iggies and Greyts

By Amanda Jones

Book Overview

Be they Iggies (Italian Greyhounds) or Greyts (Greyhounds), these elegant dogs have been the subjects of artists' gazes for more than two thousand years. Sleek and slim, they've got the looks and bearing of supermodels - yet all it takes is a lopsided grin, a poke of the nose, or a whimsical head tilt to see that they are playful clowns at heart. Greyhounds Big and Small celebrates these affectionate and beautiful creatures with over fifty photographs that skillfully capture the essence of 'greyhoundedness'.

Beautiful Photos!

This book contains some of the best Italian Greyhound photos ever! As anyone who owns them knows, their personality can be hard to capture. Amanda Jones shows a true connection to the dogs that she photographs.

Magnificant Pictures

Whether you are a greyhound lover or iggy lover, this book will tug at your heart. The pictures are beautiful and show so many sides of the breeds. If one of these owns your heart, then you need to own this book.

Great Hound book!

This book is full of great pictures! Actually, I ordered it for my husband well before Christmas and to my surprise he also bought it for me as a birthday present. We love our IG and love looking at pictures of them. They are such beautiful dogs.

Great coffee table book!!

I just picked this book up at my local Barnes & Noble. The photography is wonderful and if you are an Iggy parent (owner of an Italian Greyhound) you will definately appreciate the captions that go along with some of the photos. Their quirkiness comes thru brilliantly. If you are unfamiliar with the Italian Greyhound personality they are very silly little guys and gals!! I appreciate the contrast between the Iggies and the Greyts. All around this is a greyt book that any dog lover will enjoy.
