Introduction

Regal in stature yet playful at heart, the Italian Greyhound is the epitome of elegance and grace. Cloaked in a sleek, fine coat, these slender canines stand as a miniature version of the classic Greyhounds. Despite their diminutive size, they possess an athletic build, catering to bursts of high-speed chases. Known for their affectionate nature, they form strong bonds and are happiest in the warm company of their human companions. Ideally suited for families seeking a small, active, yet loving pet.
