I love Italian Greyhounds
Especially my babies, Twiggy & Rupert
Italian Greyhounds are small dogs with big
personalities. These loving companions adore spending time with their
family, especially when they can curl up in someone's lap. The Italian
Greyhound resembles the Greyhound—they are just the mini version. These
dogs, which are lean and muscular, are considered to be the smallest of
the sighthounds. Sighthounds are a hunting dog that utilizes their speed
and sight, instead of smell and endurance. If given the opportunity,
this breed is capable of running up to 25 mph!
Twiggy and Rupert are half-siblings and the best of friends. Twiggy
is older and more mellow, while Rupert is still very much a puppy (and
definitely acts like a little brother) despite turning 2 years old
soon. When Rupert isn't pestering Twiggy for playtime, they can be
found bathing in the most sun-drenched spot inside the house or out on
the deck. They're the best companions and stay true to their breed's
nickname, "velcro dog".
