Honor Your Canine Pal With Italian Greyhound Checks

By Alan Plastin


Is your Italian Greyhound your favorite furry friend? Don't you feel bad when you have to leave him behind and can't take him with you? Now, you can avoid a little bit of that guilt and always carry a memento of him when you use Italian Greyhound personal 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 any Italian Greyhound owner knows, these are great companion dogs and they love being around people. They like quietness but they also enjoy being active and running and playing. Of course, they do love to run!

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 thought that the breed originated more than 4,000 years ago in Greece and Turkey since art depicting these miniature greyhounds has been found in the archaeological discovery of small greyhound skeletons. Throughout Southern Europe the breed grew in popularity and was later a favorite of the Italians of the sixteenth century. They arrived in England in the seventeenth century. Catherine the Great was painted with her Italian Greyhound, Zemire while Giotto, Velazquez, and Pisanello also included them in paintings.

If your Italian Greyhound is your best comrade then you'll enjoy the eye-catching Italian Greyhound check designs that you can pick from. These checks come with rotating images so that every check you write will differ from the previous, making check writing even more fun.

For an extra cost, you can get coordinating accessories to go along with your new Italian Greyhound checks as well. These look fantastic and are fun to carry, too.

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.

Carrying beautiful checks that you're proud to use has never been easier. With the different Italian Greyhound series you'll always have the checks you want at a price that you can actually afford. Writing checks has never been as much fun!
