We have two Italian Greyhounds (passionately described as IGs). Dixie was 2 when we brought Yankee house. I have a look at that IGs are better with another animal and believed that another IG would be half as much difficulty and two times as much satisfying. After a couple of days of establishing a pack order the 2 became excellent friends.
For those not acquainted with IGs, they relate to scale of the popular racetrack type. In their finest type they look half-starved, although it might look vicious to most pet owners, thats when they are the most active and genuinely happiest. A pound or 2 slows them down enormously and even becomes hazardous.
They are brave leapers. No matter the number of times I attempt to explain to them Newtons Laws of Gravity, it does no outstanding. Heart-stopping stories are plentiful online chatroom about their Superman like tendencies. The additional weight increases the risk of broken bones.
They are also remarkable jumpers. In her hey-day Dixie might leap straight over 6 feet high to get a reward. At will she may jump flat-footed on to the dining-room table, landing as soft as a butterfly with aching feet.
However more than anything, those long thin legs were suggested for speed. Unfortunately, they can run faster than they can think. IGs become single focused when running. Twice I have really nearly had a heart attack as they ran total speed into pug puppies for sale near me each other from opposite directions, toppling like out of control race
