Breed overview
Italian Greyhound
A.K.A.: IG, Miniature Greyhound, Piccolo Levriero Italiano, Piccololevriero Italiano, Italian Sighthound
Overview:
The elegant Italian Greyhound, or "IGGY," is a diminutive sighthound with an ancient lineage, tracing back over 2,000 years to the Mediterranean Basin. Physically, they are the epitome of grace: miniature versions of their larger Greyhound cousins, boasting a sleek, muscular build, fine bone structure, and a short, smooth coat that comes in a variety of colors. Their delicate, expressive faces are often accented by large, alert ears and captivating eyes. In terms of temperament, IGs are known for their affectionate and gentle nature, forming strong bonds with their families. They are surprisingly playful but also enjoy lounging and being close to their loved ones, making them excellent companions for apartment living. While generally good with older, respectful children, their fragility means they might not be ideal for boisterous young families. Key health considerations include a predisposition to bone fractures due to their fine build, as well as dental issues and progressive retinal atrophy. With proper care and a loving home, these charming and loyal dogs bring immense joy.
