Archaeological evidence suggests the breed’s ancestors existed in ancient Egypt and Greece, and they were popular among Italian noblemen during the Renaissance, which gave the breed its modern name. Frederick the Great of Prussia, Catherine the Great of Russia, and Queen Victoria were among the many monarchs who adored this elegant little breed.
