THE LONG NOSE JOURNAL
Italian Greyhound breed and temperament
Italian Greyhound history, breed standard, temperament and comparison with the Whippet. Source-backed guides in the Levretka Krevetka journal.
The long legs catch your eye immediately; the personality takes time to discover. Begin with our guide to life together or follow your curiosity into history, habits and other sighthounds.
Breed information is tied to the sources linked in each article. A standard describes a breed; it cannot promise an identical personality for every dog or choose clothing size. Buying a garment still requires your own dog’s measurements.
