The Italian Greyhound is a charming little dog of grace and
beauty. They are usually jolly little guys. This is a breed that
was kept in England as far back as the 17th century. They
enjoyed the royal favor of many while in Prussia.
The famous
Frederick the Great simply adored his Greyhound pets and even
left instructions in his will that his body should be buried
among his pets in the Greyhound cemetery in the Park of Sans
Souci.
The Italian Greyhound comes in colors of all shades of fawn,
mouse, white and red. Of interesting note is that the old-time
dogs were found in a variety of shades because at Hampton Court,
in a painting of the Queen of James I., there are several
greyhounds in the colors of fawn, blue, blue and white. So that
even as far back as those days the Italian Greyhounds were of a
variety of colors.
As with most of the toy breeds we find that they started out
much larger in size, the original Italian Greyhound weighed
somewhere around 14 pounds.
In appearance the Italian Greyhound of today should resemble the
original version just in miniature size. Sometimes it is
difficult to produce smaller versions without impairing their
health. However, when discussing the point of elegance of the
Italian Greyhound, there is virtually none who matches this
beautiful creature, who’s every movement, indicates “grace
personified,” and his peculiar prancing action is a distinct
characteristic belonging only to the Italian Greyhound.
The Italian Greyhound should have the tulip or prick ears; these
are considered “bad” faults, which should be very carefully
avoided. He should not be compactly built as shown in his
terrier crosses, which were sometimes used to reduce his size.
The terrier crosses have also been known to create the bulging
eye and the apple head, both of which are very undesirable.
There is further evidence of the terrier crosses to reduce size
found in some puppies when first born. They will usually be a
black and tan, while in purebred animals they are whole-colored
or fawn-and-white.
The Italian Greyhound is gentle and affectionate and not quite a
delicate as his fragile form suggests. In cold weather, you need
to keep your Italian Greyhound in the house. He should sleep in
an area free of drafts and when taken outside in cold weather
dress your Italian Greyhound with a warm sweater or coat.
To keep your Italian Greyhound in good physical shape he
requires a good deal of exercise. Take care not to over feed
your Italian Greyhound. The Italian Greyhound must never be
allowed to become “fat,” in order to retain their beautiful
lines and graceful form. Feed low calorie or low fat treats as well:
Don’t expect your Italian Greyhound to serve as a domestic alarm
or protector, although he is capable of being a very sharp
watch-dog and hear the slightest of sound. He is more dedicated
to the comforts of the tea table, the fireside carpet, and the
luxurious indulgences of the sofa and a warm lap of his mistress
or master.
The general appearance of an Italian Greyhound is that of ideal
elegance and grace of shape, symmetry and action. He has a flat
skull, long and narrow, muzzle very fine, nose dark in color,
ears rose-shaped placed well back, soft and delicate and should
touch or nearly so behind the head.
His eyes are fairly large,
bright and full of expression. His neck is long and gracefully
arched. His thighs are muscular, feet are long with arched toes
and well slit up. The Italian Greyhound has a tail that is
rather long, fine with low carriage. His hair is thin and glossy
like satin. One of the most prized colors of the Italian
Greyhound is the golden fawn color, but he comes in all shades
of fawn, red, mouse, blue, cream and white, blacks, and
brindles. His weight today is around 8 pounds average and he
prances about with a high and free step.
