Remember Your Furry Friend With Italian Greyhound Checks

By Alan Plastin


Do you love your Italian Greyhound? Do you feel bad when you have to leave him behind? Now you'll always have a reminder of him right in your checkbook when you carry beautiful Italian Greyhound checks!

Of all the sight hounds, the Italian Greyhound is the smallest and only weighs about 18 pounds. Although he is technically a "toy" breed, he is still larger than most of the other dogs in this category. While small, the Italian Greyhound is still a true genetic greyhound and has a bloodline that goes back to over 2000 years. As part of the Greyhound line, they can run up to 25 miles per hour and have a high stepping and free gait, kind of like that of a horse's.

Italian Greyhounds make terrific companion dogs, as all owners can attest, and they like being around other people. Most are quiet canines and don't like to be rattled too much but they still like playing and being active. Of course, they also like to run!

The breed gets its name from the popularity it enjoyed during the Italian Renaissance. Some mummified dogs that are similar have been discovered in Egypt and images of small Greyhounds have been discovered in Pompeii. Italy. In fact, they might have been the only accepted companion-dog in Pompeii. They were recorded as having been seen around Emperor Nero's court in Rome, too.

It is possible that the breed came from Turkey and Greece as long as 4,000 years ago since art depicting these tiny greyhounds has been found during archaeological surveys there. The breed grew in popularity throughout southern Europe and was later a favorite of the Italians of the sixteenth century. Italian Greyhounds made their way to England in the seventeenth century. Catherine the Great was painted with her Italian Greyhound, Zemire while Giotto, Velazquez, and Pisanello also featured them in their art work.

If your Italian Greyhound is your best comrade then you'll enjoy the eye-catching Italian Greyhound check designs that you can pick from. These checks come with rotating images so that every check you write will differ from the previous, making check writing even more fun.
