Are Italian Greyhounds aggressive?

No, Italian Greyhounds are not aggressive dogs. They are typically affectionate, gentle, and even-tempered, making them well-suited as pets for individuals and families.

However, like any dog, Italian Greyhounds can exhibit aggressive behaviors in certain situations or if they feel threatened, fearful, or stressed. Lack of proper socialization, insufficient training, traumatic experiences, or inconsistent handling can potentially contribute to the development of aggressive behaviors in any dog breed, including Italian Greyhounds. Pain, discomfort, or underlying medical conditions can sometimes contribute to changes in a dog’s behavior, so it may also be worth visiting a vet to rule out their health as a cause for signs of aggressive behavior.
