The Italian Greyhound is a very old breed, dating back over  2000 years.  These little sighthounds are truly a delight to share my life with.  Although not for everyone, they can be very difficult to house train, are delicate, should not be left unsupervised for long periods of time, and should never be off leash in an unfenced environment.  I suggest anyone interested in an Italian Greyhound should research the breed thoroughly before deciding to add one to your family.  Dogs are not disposable!

PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT PUPPY MILLS!  If you decide this breed is a perfect fit for you, contact a responsible breeder that truly loves this breed and does health screening to assure they are breeding only healthy dogs.  My links page can direct you to valuable information about this wonderful breed.
