Resembling a miniature Greyhound in stature and grace, the Italian Greyhound embodies alertness, playfulness, and profound affection as a cherished toy companion. While they may adorn couches as decorative ornaments, their true essence lies in their innate instinct for coursing and pursuit.

Italian Greyhounds, sleek and slender like their larger counterparts, exude the same grace and elegance in a more compact form, ideally standing between 13 to 15 inches at the shoulder. Their defining characteristics include long, delicate legs that echo the curving lines typical of coursing hounds.
