Group Description

The Italian Greyhound is very similar to the Greyhound, but much smaller and
more slender in all proportions and of ideal elegance and grace.
Head: Narrow and long, tapering to nose, with a slight suggestion of stop. Skull – Rather long,
almost flat. Muzzle – Long and fine. Nose – Dark. It may be black or brown or in keeping with
the color of the dog. A light or partly pigmented nose is a fault. Teeth – Scissors bite. A badly
undershot or overshot mouth is a fault. Eyes – Dark, bright, intelligent, medium in size. Very
light eyes are a fault. Ears – Small, fine in texture; thrown back and folded except when alerted,
then carried folded at right angles to the head. Erect or button ears severely penalized.
Neck: Long, slender and gracefully arched.
Body: Of medium length, short coupled; high at withers, back curved and drooping at
hindquarters, the highest point of curve at start of loin, creating a definite tuck-up at flanks.
Shoulders – Long and sloping.
Chest – Deep and narrow.
Forelegs: Long, straight, set well under shoulder; strong pasterns, fine bone.
Hindquarters: Long, well-muscled thigh; hind legs parallel when viewed from behind, hocks
well let down, well-bent stifle.
Feet: Harefoot with well-arched toes. Removal of dewclaws optional.
Tail: Slender and tapering to a curved end, long enough to reach the hock; set low, carried low.
Ring tail a serious fault, gay tail a fault.
Coat: Skin fine and supple, hair short, glossy like satin and soft to the touch.
Color: Any color and markings are acceptable except that a dog with brindle markings and a dog
with the tan markings normally found on black-and-tan dogs of other breeds must be
disqualified.
Action: High stepping and free, front and hind legs to move forward in a straight line.
Size: Height at withers, ideally 13 to 15 inches.
