About the Italian Greyhound:
Italian Greyhound information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

Italian Greyhounds are low maintenance physically but high maintenance emotionally. Their short coats require little care, brushing once a week will suffice. They are high energy dogs and require plenty of daily exercise and attention. Extremely affectionate, this breed loves to be around people. They are good with children and other pets, but care should be taken that they are not played with too roughly by either. They should never be allowed off-lead as anything that catches their eye may cause them to run off.
