The Italian greyhound has a narrow and long head, a pointed nose, and an inconspicuous stop. The head is quite long, almost flat. The nose mirror is dark in color, and the color may be black, brown, or other color that matches the body color. Light-colored or locally colored nosepieces are defective scissor bites, and severe mandibular or maxillary protrusions are defective. The eyes are dark, bright, intelligent, and medium in size.
When the ears are small, light, and non-alert, the ears are folded backwards and folded at an appropriate angle towards the head; both the ear and the button ear are serious defects.
The neck is long, thin and gracefully arched. The body is moderately long and compactly connected, from the side, the back curves and the downward hindquarter, forming an upward arch arch. The thorax is deep and narrow , with a slender , pointed , curved tail that is just right up to the nodals , low at the base of the tail , and a low tail.
The forelimbs are long and straight, located in the right place under the shoulders, and the claws are arched (rabbit-shaped feet) that can remove the wolf claws. The hind limbs are long and muscular. Coat: The coat is fine and soft, the hair is short, touched, smooth and soft like satin, easy to take care of.
The Italian greyhound has no housekeeping habits and does not like to bark and attack strangers; it is afraid of the cold and most of the time lies lazily in a warm and comfortable place. But once it finds its prey or something to play with, it shows surprising speed and flexibility. Italian greyhounds need 40-60 minutes of exercise time per day, and adult dogs exercise about 10 kilometers per day. Due to the Italian Greyhound's super explosive power and speed, its short, smooth back hair makes it very susceptible to injuries, especially abrasions and fractures.
