Italian Greyhound

The Italian Greyhound is an Italian breed of small sighthound. It may also be called the Italian Sighthound.

Italian Greyhounds are known for their elegant and graceful appearance, characterized by their slender, athletic build and smooth, fine coat. Their coat can come in a variety of colors, including fawn, blue, black, and white, and requires minimal grooming to keep it looking sleek and clean. Their large, expressive eyes and alert ears add to their refined and delicate appearance.

These dogs are highly intelligent, affectionate, and playful, making them excellent companions for families and individuals alike. Italian Greyhounds are known for their gentle and loving nature, often forming strong bonds with their human families. They are good with children and other pets, though their delicate build means they should be handled with care. Despite their small size, they have high energy levels and enjoy regular exercise, such as running and playing. They also have a strong prey drive due to their sighthound heritage, so they should be kept on a leash or in a secure area when outdoors. With their friendly, loving, and lively nature, Italian Greyhounds make wonderful pets for those who can provide the attention and care they need.
