Default Ivy bush

I just wonder if anyone has ever grown an Ivy bush.
If you take acuting from the shrubby growth of Ivy then if it roots it
will keep growing as a shrub and not as a rambling plant.
I had one for several years, till it was hit by a falling branch.

We had an old variegated large leaved one over a fence and I took cutting of
the mature growth on a number of occasions to try to get what you describe,
not one cutting ever took, no sign of any roots. Even putting them in water
didn't work. Can they be grafted?
