Same, My IG won’t even go outside if it is drizzling! All she wants to do is sleep, eat and cuddle with us. When there is snow, we bring her food in bed because she can’t even get out of bed in the cold. Italian greys are very reserved but once you get to know them they are some of the sweetest dogs!

My IG will not touch water, snow or any thing wet! It is so fun trying to give him a bath!

Ha ha, that’s great. Our 2 Iggys won’t even walk on a wet lawn let alone swim….altho we don’t have a pool.

I don’t believe it. My IG’s are a farm dogs. They do it all but the water. Scared to death of it.

i have a 120 lb lab mix, a 95 lb rott mix and 2 ig’s and they’re great with them. i have seen more ig’s break their leg from jumping off the bed than being around bigger dogs. good luck with yours!

Yes. I have a greyhound and a Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound mix. Just make sure your lab doesn’t accidently hurt your IG if he means to just play.

I’m thinking of getting one of these, but I have a 110 pound Yellow lab…Do you think a IG will do fine around him? He’s just a big ham and this dog will be mine. As if the lab isn’t mine, he’s just more attached to my parents. Are IG’s fine around big dogs? Please reply.

oh my god that is adorable. my iggy has jumped in a couple times but she kind of just starts to sink! she could probably learn to paddle but we get too nervous and pull her right out!
