An Italian greyhound is a toy dog, from 13 to 15 inches at the shoulder, though they may be as small as 11 inches or as large as 18 inches. They can weigh as little as five pounds or as much as 15 to 16 pounds. Because of their short, odorless coat and low body fat ratio, they need to be kept warm in cool weather. Because of their short hair, they do like to stay warm by laying in the sun, sleeping in your bed UNDER the covers, and wearing coats or sweaters when the temperature dips. Because of their fine structure, Italian Greyhounds do not make a good pet for young children.Italian Greyhounds are NOT outdoor dogs. They can not tolerate cold weather and would prefer to be with their owner even on the warmest days. They also do not like getting wet and many owners have built sheltered areas to protect their dogs from the elements on cold or wet days when going outside for potty. As creatures of comfort, Italian Greyhounds do not like to get their feet on wet grass and will often utilize the sidewalk instead.Italian Greyhounds love other dogs, and usually cats too. However, care must be taken when introducing the dog to a larger breed.The activity level of an Italian Greyhound varies, but most are pretty active until about two years old. At this age they have only two speeds - either high or low.Italian Greyhounds are very people oriented and enjoy your company more than anything else. They are not an independent dog, and will often follow you everywhere. They crave attention and will not do well left alone or ignored for many hours a day. Their greatest joy is to be with you.

Pugs have been called the clowns of the dog world and were bred for one purpose, to be companion animals to humans. A Pug loves a good meal, a soft lap, and a soft pillow. They adore their owners and will often follow them from room to room. While they play with other Pugs, their true allegiance is to their human companions. They snort, snore, sneeze, and make lovely Pug sounds so you always know they are near. Pugs are NOT outdoor animals and should never be left outdoors unattended. Because of its "pushed in" face, the Pug has a shorter breathing passage and is highly susceptible to extremes in temperature, especially heat, so you must be very careful not to over exert the Pug in times of warm or hot weather. While Pugs are generally good with children, small children may not be good for a Pug. Because of their large, protruding eyes, Pugs are extra susceptible to injury and must be treated gently and lovingly. http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?N=45&Nf=coords%7CGCGT+25.8311%2C-80.278+-1&Ns=coords%2825.8311%2C-80.278%29%7C%7Cshelter_name%7C%7Canimal_type%7C%7Cpet_breed_1%7C%7Cpet_breed_2%7C%7Cidentifier&Ntk=pet_breed%7Crecord_type%7Cstatus&Ntt=Pug%7Cpet%7CA&animal_type&distance=0&lat=25.8311&location=Miami%2C+FL&lon=-80.278Also try an English Toy Spanielhttp://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?animal_type=&pet_breed=Toy+spaniel&location=Miami%2C+FL&distance=0or a Poodlehttp://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?animal_type=&pet_breed=poodle&location=Miami%2C+FL&distance=0Just give the dog entertainment when your gone!
