Questions to Think About Before Deciding Should You Get The Italian Greyhound Puppy

Who is going to care for the Italian Greyhound? Parents and children must come to an agreement in advance who is to be responsible for walking feeding, bathing and picking up behind the Italian Greyhound.

Families who live in townhouses or apartments may be better suited to a fish, a bird, or cat, instead of the Italian Greyhound. Check the library or online to find out more about Italian Greyhounds to determine if another animal may be more suited for your household.

If that thought is too daunting, you may consider waiting until the child is committed enough to help care for the Italian Greyhound.
