The Italian Greyhound is a small, elegant breed characterized by its slender build, long neck, and short, smooth coat. They are often described as miniature greyhounds, embodying the elegance and grace of their larger counterparts. Italian Greyhounds are affectionate, playful, and sociable dogs that thrive on human companionship. They can be sensitive to cold weather due to their thin coat and low body fat, requiring extra warmth. These dogs generally get along well with other pets and are adaptable to apartment living due to their moderate energy level. They are known for their loyalty and strong bond with their families.
