Italian Greyhound
He's 12 yrs old next time
Thankfully they're supposedly one of the longest living breeds .. 18 yrs + .. 22 is not unheard of , apparently.
He's never had a days illness in his life and is as lively as when we first got him at 13 weeks ..
Strange dogs as they graize on their food rather than scoffing it all like most dogs .
He's an Italian Greyhound as seen on all those great old fashioned paintings you see at Art galleries.
They're the original lap dog ... like a small , skinny whippet .
Supposedly the original Greyhounds and they've bred them bigger over the centuries to Whippets and the Greyhounds as we now know them ..
This is what I've read about them over the years ..
I describe him as looking like a Jack Russell on stilts .
They come from small litters of two or three ..
