Well, I'm a little biased in this, too. Since I'm getting my Italian Greyhound puppy tomorrow..

But my vote would be for none other than the Italian Greyhound. I've done tons of research on the dogs, visited a breeder nearby, and the dogs were great!
When I was told I could get a dog, I lowered down my choices to either a basenji or an italian greyhound. The IG attracted my attention right away, and I looked up a lot about the breed. As I kept reading, I was hooked on the dog, for various reasons; it seemed to be that the IG was my dream dog.

When we visited the breeder nearby, it was my first meeting with IGs. And the breeder had quite a few. When we stepped into the house, they were all excited, bounding around us, sniffing at us, and whatnot. I actually had stood in front of her sofa for a moment, and I felt little taps on my back. I turned my head to see that one of her IGs had leapt up on the sofa and had been leaning against me; and of course, my face was met with a doggie kiss.

All while we were sitting down and talking to the breeder, the dogs were on the two sofas in her parlor room. The dogs continually leapt on and off of the sofas, licking at our faces, and staying still for some petting.

I really can't wait until I get my IG puppy tomorrow, and I would DEFINITELY reccommend an IG! They're such sweet dogs.
