Italian Greyhound
I'm alert, loyal, determined, athletic and perceptive.
The Italian Greyhound is known for its natural athletic ability and muscular body. They adore their families but can be a tad standoffish with strangers. This trait, along with their large bark, makes the Italian Greyhound a great watchdog.
The Italian Greyhound will chase almost anything, and they’re incredibly fast – so make sure this pup is always on a leash or in a fenced yard. Italian Greyhounds also make perfect running companions, since they’re always raring to go. But just because these dogs love to be active, doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy cuddling on the couch or lounging on furniture taking in the sun.
