Definitely not, as the Italian Greyhound is a small and fragile breed of dog. All guide dogs had to be medium or large. Imagine how awkward and inconvenient it is for a visually impaired person to be holding the harness of a dog that does not even reach his knees! The Italian Greyhound also does not have the desirable temperament to be a guide dog. It can be hard to train, shy and emotionally sensitive to changes. Besides, the Italian Greyhound shows strong instincts to chase anything moving, which is an unacceptable behaviour for a guide dog.
