Summary
About Italian Greyhound
The Italian Greyhound is a tiny, fine‑boned sighthound with a short, low‑shedding coat and elegant movement. Affectionate, sensitive and people‑oriented, it bonds closely, needs warmth, gentle training, moderate exercise with safe sprints, and careful handling to protect its delicate limbs.
About Scottish Deerhound
The Scottish Deerhound is a tall, elegant Scottish sighthound with a rough, low‑maintenance coat. Calm and gentle yet athletic, it needs ample daily exercise and secure space. Affectionate, sensitive, and quiet indoors, it suits owners who value a peaceful, devoted large companion.
