SHOULD YOU OWN AN ITALIAN GREYHOUND

An IG owner must be prepared to pay anywhere from $700.00 to over a $1,000.00 in order to repair a broken leg.
. . .
Although this does not often happen the fragility of IG legs occasionally leads to this sort of accident.
. . .
People who desire a consistently obedient and subservient pet should NOT opt for an Italian Greyhound.
. . .
Some of them become destructive and unmanageable if left to their own devices.
. . .
Those owners who go on to train their Italian Greyhounds in obedience titles do so with the knowledge that this breed isn't going to be like the Border Collie or Poodle.
. . .
If an owner wants a dog who is going to play chase the ball and fetch .. another breed should definitely be chosen.

Italian Greyhound Dog Breed Profile Information, Pictures, Traits ...

PRA is detectable years before the dog shows any signs of blindness.
. . .
Inviting visitors over regularly, and taking him to busy parks, stores that allow dogs, and on leisurely strolls to meet neighbors will also help him polish his social skills.
. . .
Brush your IG's teeth at least two or three times a week to remove tartar buildup and the bacteria that lurk inside it.
. . .
However, shedding does vary greatly among the breeds: Some dogs shed year-round, some "blow" seasonally -- produce a snowstorm of loose hair -- some do both, and some shed hardly at all.
. . .
On sunny days, expect to find your IG sunbathing in the yard, one of his favorite pastimes.
. . .
Young children and dogs of any breed should always be supervised by an adult and never left alone together, period.

Italian Greyhounds: What's Good About 'Em? What's Bad About 'Em?

There are plenty of adult Italian Greyhounds who have already proven themselves NOT to have negative characteristics that are "typical" for their breed.
. . .
The fragility of toy breeds (see below) Shyness when not socialized enough Keeping him on-leash or in a safe enclosure, as he would otherwise dash away, oblivious to your calls, in pursuit of anything that moves Emotional sensitivity to stress and abrupt changes in schedule An independent "what's in it for me?" attitude toward training Notorious housebreaking difficulties An Italian Greyhound may not be right for you.
. . .
Children cannot help being clumsy, and that a child meant well is little solace to an Italian Greyhound puppy who has been accidentally stepped on, sat on, rolled on, squeezed, or dropped onto the patio.
. . .
Raise your dog the right way and you will be helping him live a longer, healthier life while avoiding health problems and unnecessary veterinary expenses.
. . .
You can seriously injure an Italian Greyhound puppy by sitting on him when he's curled under a blanket or pillow, where he frequently likes to sleep.
. . .
Just be happy that you found an atypical individual -- and enjoy!
