I do know that Italian Greyhounds can be prone to fracturing those thin legs of theirs so insurance is a must. Heartworm meds for a small breed will run around $60 to $70 per year and flea meds around $120 per year (get 6- 12 months at a time to save $$)Most smaller dogs will to fine if you can walk them twice a day for 20 minutes and one to two 15 minute training sessions.

Italian greyhounds are notoriously hard to housetrain. I looked into getting one myself, but decided not to after I kept running into reputable breeder websites that said things like "Sometimes, no matter how much you housetrain an Iggie, they will refuse to pee outside when it's raining."
I'm working with the michigan italian greyhound rescue right now to plan a shopping list, and planning costs, and making sure it's the breed for me.The woman says that she thinks my living situation would be great or an adult (4-7 year old) iggy with a snuggly lazy personality.Definitely know to get a jacket Already found a shop on etsy that sells coats and sweaters made specifically for iggies.I asked about booties and they said that they've never been able to keep them on their tiny little feet Good point about the salt though - I"ll have to ask about that.
