Italian Greyhound

The Italian Greyhound, often referred to as an IG, is a true Greyhound in miniature form, renowned for its grace and elegance. Standing at about 15 inches tall and weighing around 10 pounds, this breed captivates with its sleek, curving lines and long, fine-boned legs. Despite their petite stature, Italian Greyhounds are alert, playful, and highly affectionate companions, making them ideal for families and individuals alike. Their affectionate nature means they thrive on close human contact, often preferring to snuggle in a lap or share a bed. Known for their keen observational skills and vigilance, they are also quite playful and social, getting along well with children and other dogs. However, they retain the instinctual drive of their larger Greyhound relatives and will eagerly chase after anything that moves swiftly. Their smooth, short coat requires minimal grooming but demands extra warmth during colder months. With a lifespan of up to 15 years, these charming and loyal dogs are perfect for those seeking a devoted and lively companion.
