The Italian Greyhound is a small
companion friend usually weighing around 8 pounds full-grown. Their body is
long and lean giving the breed a very graceful ballerina like appeal.
This breed is very affectionate and loves
being with people. They are good with children but often recommended for the
elderly. They are eager to please their owner which can help in the training
process. Yet, their eagerness makes them very vulnerable to the tone of voice
used towards or around them.
The breed is very sensitive to its
surrounding. It is not unusual for them to become cold. Sweaters are
recommended in the winter. They are also sensitive to harsh noises around them;
loud bangs can frighten them easily.
The
Italian Greyhound is unusual in that it requires little to no grooming, yet is
considered a hypo-allergenic breed. Baths should only be given as needed and
the pup should be quickly toweled dried afterwards.
The breed has the nickname, " Iggy " plural, " Iggies " for short.
Their
life expectancy is 12 to 15 years.
