Check Out These Amazing Small Dog Breeds

8. The Sensitive Italian Greyhound

One of the most graceful breeds, the Italian Greyhound is a coursing hound, similar to the Greyhound in appearance, but much smaller. Once it reaches adulthood, it weighs no more than 14 pounds and is between 14 to 15 inches at the shoulder. Italian Greyhounds crave attention. They are sweet, gentle, and affectionate, and an excellent companion for those who have quieter households. If you scold them, you’ll see how sensitive they really are. This is an indoor breed that requires protection against the cold temperatures during the winter months. Although playful, IGs don’t do well with children in rambunctious environments and they are aloof with people they don’t know.
