Meet Sicily 7 lb, 1 year, Italian Greyhound acts like a Chihuahua guard dog 😊 The perfect combination!!
Sicily loves to cuddle her person and will sneak in bed under the covers sucking up your body heat you might as well let her in!!
LIke a chihuahua, she gets nervous and shakes, will hang out with you for comfort. Her body is thin enough to go through the smallest hole in your fence- so please assure she stays close! Sweet girl LOVES to chase her curled tail and hang onto the tip. She is learning new games to play, will chase a squeaky little ball her size.
Curious about cats nervously, gets along with all dogs. Must not be left alone outside, a hawk was checking her out and might escape.
Apt and townhouse ok, she will bark sharply at visitors. She has separation anxiety wants to be with her person at all times, just like an Iggy.... LOVES you and is small enough to go ANYWHERE with you 😊

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
