Dogs In The Toy Group

The Italian Greyhound is very slender and small; however they have the same gentle sweetness of their taller Greyhound relatives.  Their coat color can be any color except brindle and classic black and tan.  It is unclear if this smaller size was created for hunting small game or as a companion.  They are considered an ancient breed dating back 2000 years.  The Italian Greyhound was recognized by AKC in 1886.
