About the Italian Greyhound

The Italian Greyhound is a small dog breed originating in Italy. Adult dogs typically weigh 7 to 14 pounds and live 13 to 15 years. The breed is described as affectionate, sensitive, high-prey-drive, fast.

Households wanting a delicate, affectionate sighthound that sprints then curls up under blankets. Needs a coat in cold weather. Homes with rough play or very young kids (fragile legs), or owners planning off-leash use in unfenced areas.

Adult Italian Greyhounds need about 40 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 50 minutes. The coat is short-coated with low shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
