The Italian
Greyhound is sometimes referred to as the "IG" is the smallest
of the sighthounds. He is very similar to the Greyhound, but he
is much smaller and more slender in all proportions. He is
lively and full of good spirits and wants to please, craves
affection and returns it gladly. He adapts well to indoor
living. Prone to chills he should be kept in a draft-free
environment and given a warm bed to snuggle in. The IG is not a
noisy dog, gets along will with other pets and is a clean,
odorless dog. He must be handled very gently and should not be
placed in a noisy household.
