breeding Lupavaro - Little Italian Greyhounds
Welcome to the homepage of the site Lupavaro, dedicated to our breeding. Our site is dedicated to our immense passion for Italian Greyhounds.
The site Lupavaro: Little Italian Greyhounds does not want to be just the website of a kennel that just uses the internet to sell its puppies Piccolo Levriero Italiano, rather a virtual square, a space where you can meet fans of the breed and spend, albeit virtually, some time together, reading articles and anecdotes about the breed or, simply, looking at the photos and imagining what your life would be like with an PLI .
A Brief History of the Italian Greyhound
Il Piccolo Levriero Italiano, often cited also with the abbreviation "PLI", is the smallest representative of group 10, that is the group of greyhounds. It is a very ancient breed, already present in the pharaonic courts of ancient Egypt. From about the XNUMXth century BC, it arrived in Italy where it was soon appreciated in the court of the nobles. It would be easy to think that this slender-looking dog is just a delicate lap dog but be wary of this appearance. Actually the Piccolo Levriero Italiano is a very active dog who gladly accompanies his human friend in everyday activities. Our PLI love to travel by car, run on the beach, walk and be admired by people in the city, dig holes in the garden (to make a mole envious), watch over the herd of buffaloes of my mother-in-law's neighbor and so on. has more metta.
Are they loving?
The character: The Piccolo Levriero Italiano he is a dog extremely attached to his human friend, he loves climbing in his arms, giving passionate kisses (they have an exceptional aim…!). They love heat and if you really don't want them to sleep in your bed (they sleep strictly UNDER the duvet and strangely never suffocate ...), put some fleece blankets or a duvet in their basket, they will appreciate it very much. To this I would add the discussion on the physiological needs of the dog: it is often said that this breed is not easy to educate to cleanliness and that they will always tend to get dirty in the house. Physiologically they have a more accelerated metabolism in comparison to the larger breeds and for this reason they are unable to restrain themselves for many hours as large dogs do.
Italian Greyhounds and weather
Secondly, they hate going out when it rains or is very cold; they would much rather stay warm in their kennel and are very good at making their human friend feel sorry for them; in fact, even though they have been given a new coat, their human friend sees their poor creature all trembling and not seeming to have any intention of peeing or pooping and so (for the good of the poor little one...) they go back home very early, where the little monster will be happy to relieve himself immediately on the new carpet in your living room and then go away happy and wagging his tail (and not trembling at all!) If you decide to get a small Italian greyhound, it is not advisable to leave him alone for many hours a day; they are very sensitive, they hate solitude and are capable of "getting sick with melancholy" as well as punishing you with little piles and ponds scattered throughout the house for having left him all alone for the whole day.
In short (Italian only)
Characteristically, the PLI are adorable. They become your shadow and in practice they live for you, for your every look, for your every caress. They do it without losing their elegant greyhound dignity. They love YOU and don't wag their tails on the first come. The little Italian Greyhounds thus create a beautiful, close and confidential relationship with their human friend. On our site you will find many articles, including an entire article dedicated to character of the PLI.
