The head is narrow with a very fine muzzle and ears are softly folded and set high on the head. The spine slopes gently, and there is a defined tuck-up in the loins.

Exercise

How much exercise does an Italian Greyhound need? Despite their size, they are energetic little dogs and need between 40 to 60 minutes of exercise a day. Their dainty legs mean walks in grassy areas are preferred.
