The Breed’s History
Italian Greyhound originated more than 2,000 years ago in the countries now known as Greece and Turkey. By the Middle Ages, the breed had become distributed throughout Southern Europe and was later a favorite of the sixteenth century Italians.
Whippets were bred to hunt by sight, coursing game in open areas at high speeds. There are numerous representations of small greyhound-like hounds in art dating back to Ancient Egyptian times.
