Penne's mom says: Penne is an Italian greyhound. She is now two and a half years old and very, very small for the breed, weighing in at about 7.5 lbs when the usual weight for the breed is around 16 lbs. Penne’s full name is Penne Rigate Aldente. Her name fits her Italian roots! Penne spends most of her time lounging and playing with her younger sister, Ravi. Ravi is an Italian greyhound also. Though she may be small, Penne can run very fast. She can chase down any squirrel, rabbit, or groundhog in town. We live in Ohio so she has to wear a little sweater to keep warm. Penne is the light of my life with her loving ways. She loves sleeping in the bed under the covers and is the best bed warmer ever!
What a sweet little face. Such an elegant girl. She looks like a perfect little companion. She is a doll!!!
What a pretty lady! I love her striped sweater-- she looks like she enjoys being stylishly dressed =)
She is so delicate and feisty at the same time. Love her sweet eyes! I think she is an 11, a charmer puppy!
Blue is definitely her color! I've never been much for clothes on dogs at all, but she is so stylin'.
I love the ear flip in the 9th pic!!! And I believe, correct me if I am wrong Julia, that she displays spectacular eye capsules??
Is her foot ok, or was that a sock?
GREY! All i see is GREY! She is a beauty! So sleek and elegant.
Penne and Ravi, thats funny. Whats Ravi's full name? Ravi Oli Parmegan? Hahaha
Probably a dew claw removal there dog luvver. Im sure she is fine. :)
Aw... I bet you're right, scobig - Ravioli something something. I hope Penne's mom writes in to tell us. DogLuvver I believe (not sure but I think) greyhounds kinda have to wear sweaters or jackets when it's cold or else they get really cold what with no fat and no hair or fur. Penne is adorable. I would love to get a puppy and have it turn out to be a "smaller than usual" version of that breed. A greyhound that's 7.5 pounds? OMG!!
Penne è una signora giovane bella. Gli dò 11 biscotto. (Penne is a beautiful young lady. We give her 11 biscuits.) She is a sweetie!
I must say I was delighted to see an IG on the site today-- I have three and love seeing baby photos. Two of mine are turning 15 in February and I Penne looks like my Buster. Beautiful girl. Care: whippets are larger and different from the IG (i could give you waaaaay too much info - but suffice it to say that whippets are in between the IG and the big Greys).
Penne's mom: thanks for sharing and enjoy your beautiful little ig's -- they give more love than any breed i know of. Ravi is gorgeous as well.... Like they say -- you can never own just one IG!!!!
Awwwww such a beauty. I think she is a 11...Love the styling pics. I have friends who adopt Greys from the rescue center and they are soooooo well loved and spoiled now. Penne your a sweety huggs and kisses to you and your sister. Chance sends puppy kisses.
Awwwwwwwww!!! I love greyhounds they are the ABSOLUTE BEST breed ever! o.k. well all dog breeds are great. Even though I love big dogs I would be very happy with an IG! Because then my friend could come over(she is frightened of big dogs!) I love them! I have ALWAYS wanted a Grey they are so sweet!
ABSOLUTELY AN 11!!! What a sweetie! Can't resist those big eyes! The elegance...the sheer cuteness...I could go on and on!!! Give her a kiss and a hug for me! :)
Beautiful. I have a cat with the same color coat.
Her name is "Blue."
Penne is just an adorable little dog.
Penne is the cutest dog I've ever seen, especially in person. (I know her mommy) She is the most interesting dog, full of great personality, a lot like her mommy. 7.5lbs is probably with the sweater on! She is a beautiful dog and completely worthy of 11 biscuits!
I've never seen a greyhound puppy. I always thought of them as a breed with a certain amount of elegance. Penne's first picture shows that elegance, and then the mischief begins. What a gorgeous thing, especially the colour of her coat! I also laugh when thinking of the picture of her with her ears up. Looks like she was shocked or something. :D
DogLuvver, when her eyes are squinty, she does seem to have eye-capsules. Check out http://www.CuteOverl oad.com for even more examples of eye-capsule mayhem.
Penne is a sweet morsel of puppy. One of my muttastic mutss has to have Italian Greyhound in him--he has that face (but with longer hair), those pointy feet, that body shape, and the stand-with-one-paw-up mannerism that so characterizes the breed. I love how delicate she looks. Mongo (my mutt) is pointy and spindly, and just really effeminate.
Care- Whippets are a different breed unto themselves, they are kin to Greyhounds, they belong to the hound group, but are a distinct breed. Whippets are wonderful too, very clingy in my experience though! Lots of seperation anxiety they require lots of attention.
Thanks to all that have shared your comments about my sweet girl. Penne really is my 'little star'. She makes me happy no matter what is going on.
Her sister is name Ravioli. You were all right! I had to stay with the pasta theme. I will have to think hard for the next pasta puppy name!
The picture with her paw bandaged was an accident Penne suffered and tore her toenail. She recovered and is fine. THanks for the concern.
Look for Ravi to have her showcase soon. She is only 5 months old so I am still collecting pictures.

I just LOVE this breed and was so happy to see an IG on the site today. Penne is just the sweetest baby.
Ooooooh! We love her. Our IG, Mario, would love to have a date with her - even though he is much older. She is just a precious bundle. I wanna give her kisses all over her sweet head. How can you not love and IG?
This is posted by Mario's mommy under daddy's name. :-)
Isn't she just the cutest little thing you've ever seen? Such a lady!!!! Love the dress up pictures!!!! My mom used to buy our pugs sweaters and such because how cold it gets in Ohio. She is so dainty looking. Will she reamin petite?
Penne is quite the poser, isn't she? She is wonderful; I love her ears and her proud stance! Definitely an 11!
i've never seen an ig that small. she certainly looks delicate and dainty, but I wouldn't want to be a rabbit in her back yard. great wardrobe.
Penne is e-l-e-g-a-n-t! What a beauty, with soulful eyes, a svelt figure and a stylish gray coat. This young lady is sure to win some hearts.
Looks like he's STARVING. But greyhounds look like that usually don't they? Very nice colour! And very CUTE!
Awww, what a sweet little pup!! Just look at that itty bitty face! A petite beauty! Penne's pics just melt my heart!! Many kisses to your gorgeous girl!!!
What a little darlin'! She's so sleek and pretty- I bet she slips right through your arms- so hold on tight and give her a big warm hug for me! LUV the puppy couture! toooo much!!
Penne and Ravi are SO cute! Penne is the same color as our big IG, Harley. We have 3 IGs, aren't they the greatest?
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH Penne, you are a fashion plate, girl! So much style and panache! A million biscuits to you, darling!
I absolutely love IGs - my friend has 3 and they're all so sweet & affectionate - I'm sure Penne is quite the lovebug. Lots of biscuits & belly rubs to both Penne & Ravi!
she is the cutest thing i've ever seen...i have a fawn and white IG...i absolutely love the grey coat =) and looove the name Penne!
I just love IG's (i currently own 2) and love the breed. Your little pasta morsel is lovely!!!
