The modern greyhound is prominently similar in appearance to an ancient breed of sight hounds that goes back to the Egyptians and Celts. Dogs very similar to greyhounds--domesticated hunters with long, slender bodies-- appear in temple drawings from 6,000 BC in the city of Catal-Huyuk in present-day Turkey. A 4,000 BC funerary vase found in the area of modern Iran was decorated with images of dogs looking much like greyhounds. In view of the fact that prehistoric artists tended to portray only images of religious or social significance to their societies, these dogs must have been fairly important to the peoples of those days. We do not know for certain that these dogs are forerunners of the contemporary greyhound.
The Herding group is a new addition to the world of dog shows. It was recently established in American and Canadian Kennel Clubs The group was defined in 1983. The breeds that make up the Herding group were taken from the Working group. When researching records from the kennel clubs you will not find the Herding group.
Small dogs are still dogs.
They're cute, adorable even, some of ?em . . . Well, most of ?em. They're fun, funny, snuggly, engaging, amusing and they are most definitely, despite what some have to say, real, honest to dogness dogs. One thing they aren't is fashion accessories!
A relatively new field of scientific exploration is canine DNA testing. It is quickly becoming a useful tool for professional breeders, veterinarians and dog owners. As in the testing of human DNA, Canine DNA testing can be employed to find the answers to several different but related tasks. These range from medical research to ancestry searches.
