BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY : The little Italian Greyhound descends from small-sized greyhounds which already existed in ancient Egypt at the court of the Pharaohs.  Passing through Laconie (Greece),  where numerous representations on vases and bowls confirm this, the breed arrived in Italy at the outset of the 5th century BC.  Its greatest development occured during the era of the Renaissance at the court of the nobles.  It is not rare to find the Italian Greyhound represented in the paintings of the greatest Italian and foreign masters.
