Are you ready to take on such responsibility for the next half decade?

#1 Be patient: choosing an Italian Greyhound puppy is not an easy task.

#2 Before buying a dog, you must first determine what you take it for: for exhibitions, or as a companion dog.

#3 Visit exhibitions, communicate with breeders and owners of the breed and you will understand whether the representative of this breed is really the dog of your dreams.
