Lickers, Lovers and pursuers of warmth, Italian Greyhounds have a well-deserved reputation for sticking quite literally to their owners sides and lavishing them with all the affection a Toy breed can muster.

The Italian Greyhounds beautiful soft eyes, pleading expression and sensitive nature suit them to companionship. Not exactly a lap dog – those long legs just don’t fit – Iggies instead seek constant physical contact with their folk..

Notorious for wheedling their way under the covers and draping themselves over their owners, the Iggies physicality is part of the breed’s charm.

Poppet and Tara always find the warmest spot….. maneuvering themselves so as much of their bodies as possible touching mine at all times.

A fellow Iggie owner asked me recently ‘does yours do that thing too, wedging themselves between you and then furniture ‘- we had a good giggle.
