Line 61:

The Italian Greyhound's apparent lack of wide appeal is possibly because of their fragile appearance, with their spindly legs. The reality of the breed is quite contrary to the appearance, though, as they are frequently described as a 'big' dog in a small package. In fact the breed will be equally at home in a city and in the country, and it does not require as much exercise as larger breeds. The Italian Greyhound is hardy, rarely ill, intelligent and easy to teach.

This breed, like most dogs, is not a fussy eater and will eat almost any foods. Most will scoffscarf their food but some might slow down as they get older.

IGs are good with children but their thin bones can be hurt by rough play from young children.
