Italian Greyhounds (miniatures) should be fed twice daily, given a warm place to snooze (they chill easily), and given lots of attention. Brush their teeth daily if you can, and trim their nails weekly. Love them -- they will give you back more love than you have ever experienced before!

Miniature Greyhounds are intelligent dogs with good temperaments. They can be raised indoors, but should be given lots of opportunities to run around and exercise. They are somewhat prone to hip and joint problems, so be attentive to these issues. Miniature Greyhounds rarely overeat, and have a sleek coat that is easy to groom and maintain.

Miniature or "Italian" Greyhounds are a loyal and loving breed. Due to their short coats and thin build, it is important to make sure they are not exposed to cold temperatures or drafts, so putting a sweater or jacket on them for walks is advisable, especially in inclement weather.
