Fragility changes daily management
Italian Greyhound fit should be judged through toy-sighthound handling, not only small size. Handling, climate, prey-drive, activity, and companion signals point toward warm bedding, harness walks, furniture rules, gentle lifting, and supervision around larger dogs or children. A good match enjoys a delicate, affectionate dog and can prevent rough play or jumping from becoming normal. The decision should make clear that compact size reduces space needs but increases care around bones, cold weather, doors, and sudden chase behavior every day.
