The Italian GreyhoundToy
 Italian Greyhounds from the Summerwind Kennel
The Italian Greyhound is best suited for a quiet home with children that will treat it with respect and that won't expect the dog to join in aggressive playtimes. A usually timid dog that will need lots of TLC when stressed (and non-stress times too). It may be hard to housebreak. They, like all dogs, need consistent training and handling. They love to walk but don't need a great deal of exercise. Great for apartments, but they are not couch potatoes. They do well with other pets, and many owners have found that a second pet should be another Italian Greyhound. You will find them to be very affectionate and faithful. They can not tolerate cold weather without some protection. Easy to groom and they shed very little.

Book Suggestions
We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.
If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.  Rescue Links | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
