What do you think of Italian Greyhounds Im trying to decide on a dog2007-11-25 2:52:07

Any animal that has been bred specific {full blooded} will be more likely to have various medical or genetic type problems and you can check on the web for what to expect in the way of genetic medical problems.

There are many sites listed with breed specific rescue groups and they are brutally honest about any problem they have with a dog, whether it's a medical or personality problem so you know exactly what you are getting.

Before you get any pet you should make sure that it is a proper fit with your lifestyle. Some dogs can't be left alone for hours while you are at work, ending up with destructive behaviors like chewing up the furniture or barking for hours.

Once you do the lifestyle assesment you can get matched up to a dog that will make your life full of adventure and laughter...and unquestioning love and devotion.

Cute, energetic, but too fragile!

They are awesome that is all I have to tell you

They are a sensitve and often nervous breed and can be very fragile especially the legs, not suitable for families with young children, their sensitivity and nervousness can also make them hard to house train, They act a lot like a cat running, darting leaping over furniture which often if they miscalculate a jump , end up with broken legs, so do you have the finances to cover orthopedic surgery ($1800 to $2500) most owner tend to have to deal with it at least once, other vet cost one can expect is skin tears, their skin is paper thin and tears easily even a with a small tear can quickly become a gaping one because of gravity on their thin skin, so even a small cut means getting vet attention asap.
