If they have the run of the house and yard and get routine walks, they're happy. Italian Greyhounds are not barkers. Other than the occasional bark, this dog is very quiet. They are also not biters. Only under extreme situations that place the dog in great fear will it lash out, which is normal for any dog.
Italian Greyhounds make loveable companions.
You'll often find the Italian Greyhound close at your heels, following you wherever you go. Because of their mild temperament, they are great family dogs and get along well with children. These dogs are very intelligent and quick learners. Because they have such short fur, Italian Greyhounds get cold very easily. If you live in an area that gets cold, you may have to get your dog a sweater, which can be purchased at most pet stores.
