We have 2 Italian Greyhounds (passionately explained as IGs). Dixie was 2 when we brought Yankee house. I read that IGs are better with another animal and thought that another IG would be half as much issue and two times as much fun. After a few days of establishing a pack order the 2 ended up being wonderful buddies.
For those not familiar with IGs, they are about scale of the popular racetrack type. In their finest kind they look half-starved, although it might look dreadful to most pet owners, thats when they are the most active and truly happiest. A pound or more slows them down significantly and even ends up being hazardous.
They are courageous leapers. No matter how many times I effort to describe to them Newtons Laws of Gravity, it does no good. Heart-stopping stories are plentiful online chatroom about their Superman like propensities. The additional weight increases the hazard of damaged bones.
They are similarly unbelievable jumpers. In her hey-day Dixie might leap directly over 6 feet high to get a treat. At will she may leap flat-footed on to the dining space table, landing as soft as a butterfly with hurting feet.
But more than anything, those long thin legs were implied for speed. pugs for adoption Sadly, they can run faster than they can believe. IGs become single focused when running. Two times I have actually almost had a heart disease as they ran complete speed into each other from opposite directions, falling like out of control race automobiles.
