you mean whippet?,no i bought it

Miniature greyhound?

There's the Italian Greyhound, and there's a rescue in the Manchester area:

Italian Greyhound Club Rescue and Welfare
Mrs S Penrose-Hansell, Co-ordinator, Tel: 0161 428 0142

Alternatively, maybe it's a whippet you're after, in which case I'm afraid the only whippet rescue I found was in Bedfordshire:

J R Whippet Rescue
Mrs L Jones (Co-ordinator), Cardington, Beds. Tel: 01234 838927

If you plan travelling to either of these it might be worth phoning ahead. They may be limited by how far away they are willing to rehome to.

Alternatives could be to try a greyhound or lurcher rescue of which there are MANY:

The Whippet is like a small greyhound - weighing about 25 to 40lbs with a max height of around 22".

The Italian Greyhound is even smaller at around 7 to 10lbs & stands around 13-17" high at the shoulder.

There are some Whippet breeders in Yorkshire on the Champdogs site:
http://www.champdogs.co.uk/guided/all_whippet.html
There are no Yorkshire breeders of Italian Greyhounds advertising on the site - though there are breeders in other areas - it does give a list of clubs though - one of those might help you to find one:
http://www.champdogs.co.uk/guided/all_italian-greyhound.html

The Kennel Club website has a puppy register (but no breeders register)
http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/436

The ePupz site also has no Italian Greyhound breeders in North Yorkshire - though like the Champdogs site, it does list some breeders:
http://www.epupz.co.uk/search/puppies_for_sale.asp?breed=Italian+Greyhound&area=all&st=5&Submit=Search+++
(& there are currently puppies available in Swansea)

When you search on Whippets - then they list one breeder in North Yorkshire.
http://www.epupz.co.uk/search/puppies_for_sale.asp?breed=Whippet&area=North+Yorkshire&st=5&Submit=Search+++
Though there some blue non-pedigree whippet puppies currently available in North Yorkshire - see page 3
http://www.epupz.co.uk/search/puppies_for_sale.asp?breed=Whippet&area=all&st=1&pn=3&rn=10&sortby=datecreated+DESC

However, to get the contact details then you have to register with ePupz - this has it advantages though as they can email you when an advert is placed that matches your criteria. So this might be helpful.

Hope this helps

The toy size greyhound shape dog is the Italian greyhound, the whippet is bigger thatn the Iggy (short for Italian greyhound) but smaller than the greyhound.

Do you mean Italian Greyhounds?
Look here.

If you are looking for a puppy try epupz.
