Remember Your Furry Friend With Italian Greyhound Checks

By Alan Plastin


Do you love your Italian Greyhound? Do you feel bad when you have to leave him behind? Now you'll always have a reminder of him right in your checkbook when you carry beautiful Italian Greyhound checks!

Of all the sight hounds, the Italian Greyhound is the smallest and only weighs about 18 pounds. Although he is technically a "toy" breed, he is still larger than most of the other dogs in this category. While small, the Italian Greyhound is still a true genetic greyhound and has a bloodline that goes back to over 2000 years. As part of the Greyhound line, they can run up to 25 miles per hour and have a high stepping and free gait, kind of like that of a horse's.

As anyone who owns an Italian Greyhound knows, they are fantastic companion dogs and they enjoy being around people. Italian Greyhounds prefer calmness but they also like being active and running and playing. As a Greyhound, they also love running.

The Italian part of the name comes from the popularity the breed enjoyed during the Italian Renaissance. There have been some mummified dogs similar to what we see now that have been discovered in Egypt and depictions of small Greyhounds have been found in Pompeii. Indeed, Italian Greyhounds might have been the only established companion-dog in Pompeii.

It is likely that the variety came from Turkey and Greece as long as 4,000 years ago given that art showing these tiny greyhounds has been found during archaeological surveys in these areas. They grew in esteem all through southern Europe and were later a much loved pet of the Italians in the sixteenth century. Italian Greyhounds traveled to England in the seventeenth century. Catherine the Great was shown with her Italian Greyhound, Zemire while Giotto, Velazquez, and Pisanello also showcased them in their art work.

If you love your Italian Greyhound then you'll love the beautiful Italian Greyhound checks that are on hand to choose from. These usually come with rotating images so that each check you write will be different from the one before it.

There are also coordinating accessories that can be purchased at an additional cost with many of the check series. A matching leather checkbook cover and address labels are fun to use and look at and practical as well.

Making a special trip to your bank in the past could be a hassle. Now, however, you can order your personal checks from the comfort of your own home when you use a reliable website. Not only can you save as much as 50% off the cost of your checks-you'll have tons of designs to choose from. You are no longer limited by the narrow selection of check designs that you once were.

Using great looking checks that you're proud to carry has never been simpler. With the various Italian Greyhound series available you'll always have the checks you want to use at affordable prices that you can actually live with.
