Welcome to Zemzari Italian Greyhounds
Hello, I'm Laura! Dog-mad fur mum, mum to two little humans and the person behind ZEMZARI Italian Greyhounds.
Based on the beautiful Fraser Coast in Queensland, our dogs aren't simply part of our lives, they're family. I'm a Dogs Queensland registered breeder, affiliated with Dogs Australia, and incredibly passionate about doing things the right way.
I'm a bit of a research nerd when it comes to Italian Greyhounds. Genetics, health testing, pedigrees and temperament are all things I love getting stuck into. I believe responsible breeding means continually learning, making informed decisions and always putting the dogs first.
Our puppies are raised in our family home, surrounded by everyday life, plenty of love and thoughtful early socialisation. My goal is to raise healthy, confident, well-rounded Italian Greyhounds while preserving everything that makes this breed so special.
Welcome to our little world!
One of my favourite things about being involved in Italian Greyhounds is connecting with other people who love this breed as much as I do.
I'm always happy to chat, share experiences and help people navigate life with an Iggy. Whether you're researching the breed, thinking about welcoming your first one, already have a few of your own or have questions about health, training, temperament or puppy life, I'm more than happy to help where I can.
And you don't have to be looking for a ZEMZARI puppy! I genuinely want to see people find the right Italian Greyhound for their family, wherever that little dog may come from.
Come and find me on Instagram!
It's by far the easiest way to get in touch. I receive quite a few emails and enquiries, so occasionally things get buried, but I'm much more active in my Instagram messages and always love a good Iggy chat.
You'll also find plenty of educational content, health testing information, puppy updates and everyday life with our dogs over there.
I'd love for you to follow along!

Joining our waitlist
Thank you for considering a ZEMZARI Italian Greyhound! We're an ethical, small-scale, home-based breeding program and I don't have puppies available all the time. I carefully plan my litters, with a couple of litters currently anticipated for 2027.
It's never too early to join our waitlist! If you're thinking about welcoming an Iggy into your family, I'd love to hear from you. The first step is to complete the puppy questionnaire in the Puppies section of my website. This gives me a chance to learn a little about you, your family and what you're hoping for in an Iggy.
And please don't feel you need to put your search on hold while waiting for a ZEMZARI puppy. If you happen to find your perfect Iggy elsewhere, that's absolutely wonderful! Simply let me know if I get in touch, and there's never any awkwardness. My biggest wish is to see people find the right dog for their family.
While I'm happy to arrange interstate puppy travel, I really encourage families to visit us here on the Fraser Coast if they're able to. Particularly if you're new to the breed, there's nothing quite like meeting Italian Greyhounds in person, experiencing their personalities and getting to know the breed before making such a big commitment.
More than just a puppy
When you welcome a ZEMZARI puppy into your family, you're not just getting a puppy, you're becoming part of the ZEMZARI family! My support doesn't end when your puppy leaves home. I'm always here for advice, questions, guidance and a chat throughout your dog's life.
I also absolutely love keeping up with our ZEMZARI babies as they grow! We regularly feature our puppies in our Instagram PUPDATE Highlights, sharing their adventures, milestones and lives with their wonderful families. It's one of my favourite parts of breeding!
Health testing & transparency
The health of our dogs is a priority at ZEMZARI. Our Italian Greyhounds undergo UC Davis genetic testing for FEH, PRA and glaucoma. I'm a big believer in transparency and helping puppy families understand the health testing behind their puppies.
Our health test results are publicly available in the Health Tests album on our Facebook page. For more information and educational content, you can also visit the DID YOU KNOW and EVIE'S JOURNEY Highlights on Instagram.
Have questions before joining the waitlist? You're always welcome to reach out. Instagram messages are the easiest way to get hold of me, and I'm always happy to chat!
