The Italian Greyhound is a small version of the Greyhound and like the Greyhound they are elegant and agile whilst moving. The Italian Greyhounds coat is short and produces a magnificent glossy shine when brushed. Common coat colouring is fawn, red, white, and black. Like most dogs, daily exercise is a must for the Italian Greyhound as they love to run. They are an intelligent breed of dog though due to their slim stature can be quite fragile.
