I think most people presume Italian Greyhounds run around all the time at warp speed. My experience with my two boys taught me that while they may be CAPABLE of running super fast, they much prefer to hone their sleeping skills.
Italian Greyhounds in the arts
The grace of the breed has prompted several artists to include the dogs in paintings, among othersVelázquez, Pisanello and Giotto.
The breed has been popular with royalty throughout, among the best known royal aficionados were Mary Stuart, Queen Anne, Queen Victoria, Catherine The Great, Frederick the Great and the NorwegianQueen Maud.
Thanks for the art/history lesson. You don't think about that our babies are THAT old! I love the picture of Tom and his baby. (Yep, I can't remember which one!...Yep, I am old!)
