THE REIGN OF THE GREYHOUND
(excerpts from the book by Cynthia A. Branigan)
"Almost 8,000 years ago, before there was such a thing as a written
word and long before the invention of the wheel, there is evidence
that Greyhound-like dogs lived with humans. Excavations at Catal-
Huyuk in Turkey, a site dating back to 6,000 BC, have unearthed a
sanctuary decorated with ritual hunting scenes. The dogs assisting in
the kill had long legs, delicate muscles and deep chests. These were
the first purebred dogs and progenitors of the Greyhounds we know
today.
"The Greyhound family tree has many branches. Borzois and Afghan
Hounds, for example, are part of the clan. What these dogs have in
common is not only a similar physique, but also a similar method of
hunting and a similar character....I wanted to know what other dogs
are sighthounds, so I looked to the American Kennel Club's breed
groups. I found that the Afghan and the Greyhound are in the Hound
group. The other sighthounds are also in this group: Basenjis,
Scottish Deerhounds, Ibizan Hounds, Irish Wolfhounds, Pharaoh Hounds,
Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Salukis and Whippets." (to be continued)
