+Anna Reite You are wright, but a sec. is ...

Cool! I second every word u said! My Iggy, Charlie, is the same way!

Omg! I’m constantly liking your photos and videos on Instagram, they’re adorable! Your little Nello is such a cutie pie 🥰 So glad you liked the video. 💕🐾

@@Meteosprite awww small (Internet) world ✨🐾

Thank you very much ☺️❤️

I’m sorry for your loss 😓

@@lithiei Thank you so very much. God bless.

Thank you so much, he is still just as beautiful as the day I made this video ❤️ Oh my goodness, 16 is very impressive! I can completely agree with you there, they are the most wonderful, loving dogs in the world and I couldn’t be without him. I’m so sorry for your loss, that breaks my heart ❤️ Enzo and I send all our love and thoughts. I hope you manage to find another one soon.

I've had 3 Iggies and adore the breed. I lost all 3 of mine at 16 yrs old within a year of each other. It's cut my heart to the quick. I would love another but I can't find them around here now. There seems to be 85% pit bulls, 5% Labs, 2% mutts and 3% pureblooded and those aren't Iggies. Everywhere I look it's like that. Somebody is irresponsibly breeding pitties out the wazoo and everyone else is afraid to breed purebloods because of the liabilities and being thought they are the boogy man for breeding dogs (people automatically think you are a "puppy mill" or a "backyard breeder" if you try to breed and sell a dog). So we are seeing less and less good breeders, prices going higher and higher, meanwhile rescues are full of unadoptable dogs like pit bulls, seniors, special needs dogs. Here it's getting so bad that people are stealing pureblood dogs right out of your yard, house and car. I hate puppy mills and irresponsible breeders and I agree that we should spay and neuter. But now we have the problem of few good dogs for the demand. I'm too afraid of pit bulls, that just is not my breed. I have a senior dog (chi) and I've had special needs dogs. I want another Iggy so bad I can taste it, but I can't find one.

What's their name and how are you both going?

isle of flightless birds [louis!] He is doing great. I love him. He is the sweetest dog ever. I would definitely recommend this breed.

isle of flightless birds [louis!] His name is Nox

Kayla Barker you know I wanted a miniature version of my dog, and an Italian greyhound was a great option. I watched Jenna marbles and ended up getting an iggy! Never saw one until he arrived at the airport and I was blown away by how tiny he was. He’s my favorite creature and the best decision ever. Hope you are having a loving full life with yours!

Awe

I would love to see pictures of him! Maybe you could share some on my Meteosprite Facebook page? :)

Meteosprite I will!

very accurate

Get them a dog coat. There are nice ones now; they look like little horse blankets.

+AMerie_Elise: Gaming and Vlogging You will get a ig medal'...

Jenika H On cold days how do you take your iggy on walks? Do they have to wear jackets and shoes?

Fancy Yams she's not a fan of the shoes. But a warm jacket or her favorite onesie will suffice when it's cold. I live in LA so the whether usually is pretty warm out. I walk her in the evening when it's not so hot out.

+Yawning Unicorn you have to take 2

I have an Italian, Sophie, who is about 18-months-old now, and I DO hear Italians are less high maintenance if you have more than one, in that they will occupy eachother more readily instead of you being the occupier all the time lol. Sophie wants my attention 24/7, and I think if I had another, that probably wouldn't be the case as much. I'm thinking about it ;)

+Se Tell Hi :) Thank you, glad it helped! Several accidents daily within the first 6-12 months. They are ridiculous to house train. We still get accidents from him, maybe once every couple of days. The thing with IGs, they don't respond to being told off. He is not phased what so ever, in fact he thinks it's a game. Love him to death though. You want to walk your IG once a day ideally, but if you have a big fenced garden you can skip a day as long as you play with your dog a lot and they get chance to run and use their legs. Enzo used the stairs with no problems :)

Hey, thanks for such a swift reply! You're awesome!

Agathe A. The IG is a dog that needs constant company. I wouldn't say you should get one if you don't have A LOT of free time. Thank you :D

Thank you for this fast answer ! I'm so disappointed, really, i ´m Fall in love about this breed ... But if it ´s better for the dog, it's okay. Good luck :)

In my experience, yes, because they're sighthounds, and actually have a high prey drive. You can see it in the way Enzo is intently staring at something off to the side during the video. So, if they see something outside the fence that is "prey" to them...they want it. They'll do anything to get it. Dig their way out. When Sophie sees prey, she GOES, and there's no stopping her. They have horrible recall, which means they don't come back easily or at all, so if they get out, it's a problem. If there's spaces in the fence, I strongly recommend repairing them before getting an Italian.

Thanks for the info! She ended up not being a stray (we found her and thought she was abandoned) but ended up finding her owners a week later. I ended up adopting a Yorkie/Chihuahua mix instead. Good to know for the future in case I ever run across a little Italian Greyhound again and consider adopting. Thanks again!

+LAKEVILLEMA Thanks for sharing. I will eventually be making another IG video and will mention this comment.

Peter Jackson how much did you get your ig for

I was a housekeeper in a home with two. The many thousands of dollars in vet/hospital bills could have bought a new Mercedes! With the special food, and medications, could have had a round-the-world cruise. Genetic inbreeding has caused this, nothing more. Please go to a shelter and get a mixed breed dog!

Most Italian Greyhounds are litter trained, like cats! :)

Thank you so much

Meteosprite sorry I'm so late but I want an Italian Greyhound but my parents and I don't know where to get one I live in Chicago btw

Amanda Briggs Hi Amanda. Thanks for your comment :) Yes his coat is exactly the same. He still doesn’t really shed. If your child is allergic I don’t know whether getting an IG is a good idea. Just because they don’t really shed doesn’t mean they won’t still cause a reaction, especially with the nature of this dog; always being on furniture, being very cuddly, etc. The last thing you want it to get one and then have to give it up, that would be heartbreaking for both you and the dog. I hope this helped somewhat :(

Oh absolutely! I couldn't agree more. A couple my friend knows has an Italian greyhound and when they visit they always bring her with them. So we have plans to have our child see how she does around the dog for a while so we know for sure. You should do an updated video on Enzo :) Thanks for replying to me!
