The Italian Greyhound

The Italian Greyhound has all the instincts of a miniature gazehound, which indeed she is. She will chase fast-moving creatures or objects. Italian Greyhounds are aloof with those they do not know, but crave attention from their own people. Usually quiet housemates, they will sound alarms with a surprisingly big bark. Affectionately called "Iggies," the IG enjoys being pampered and will seek out soft toys to snuggle and soft pillows and laps to rest their heads on.
