The Italian Greyhound is very similar to the Greyhound, but much
smaller and more slender in all proportions and of ideal elegance and
grace.
The Italian Greyhound is an elegant, miniature
fine-boned Greyhound with a long head thinning gradually to a pointed
muzzle. It has a dark nose, thin lips and a healthy scissors bite. Like
his larger cousins, the brisket is deep, the abdomen tucked-in, and the
back arched. The fine narrow ears fold back along the head, but rise
perpendicular to the head when the dog is alert. The neck is long and
thin. The expressive eyes are large and dark. The tail is straight
ending in a slight curve. The Italian Greyhound has an easy-care short,
sleek coat in solid gray, slate gray, cream, red, fawn, black, or blue -
often broken up with white markings on the chest and feet, or white with
color markings. A flecked version also exists but are not accepted in
all countries. The Italian Greyhound has a high-stepping gait.
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 inches to 15 inches.
Disqualifications
A dog with brindle markings. A dog with the tan markings normally
found on black-and-tan dogs of other breeds.
