About The Breed

The Italian Greyhound is a small, elegant, and graceful breed known for its sleek, slender body and refined appearance. Standing around 13-15 inches tall and weighing 6-10 pounds, this breed is the miniature version of the Greyhound, with a streamlined build built for speed. Italian Greyhounds are affectionate, gentle, and loyal companions who bond closely with their families. They are often calm indoors but enjoy short bursts of playful energy, making them suited for apartment living as long as they get regular walks. Due to their thin coat, they can be sensitive to cold and may need a sweater in cooler weather. Intelligent and easy to train, they can be a bit reserved with strangers but are generally good with other pets and children when properly socialized.
