Italian Greyhound

First known in the Mediterranean dating back 2000 years ago, Italian noblemen adopted the breed as their own during the 17th century. Though smaller, the Italian Greyhound has a much grace and sweetness of the standard greyhound. This smaller breed weighs between 6 and 10 pounds and stands at 12 to 15 inches. They are fairly inactive indoors, so this breed is great for apartment life.
