Various Greyhounds 



BALEARIC (Spain) 

 Pnu-Quoc (Siam) 



PERSIAN 

 PORTUGUESE 



ARABIAN 



In addition to the above named varieties of the Greyhound, there are others knojvn 

 as Greyhounds of Crimea, of Caucasus, of Circassia, of Tartary, of Kurdistan, and of 

 Anatoly. None of these, however, have any adopted "points," but are rather the result 

 of crossings between the Borzoi and the different Asiatic greyhounds which are por- 

 trayed in other parts of this work. 



As a general rule these dogs are used for hunting various kinds of fleet-footed 

 game, sometimes in the interest of sport, but more frequently in the protection of the 

 homestead against wolves and other kinds of wild beasts. 



BALEARIC GREYHOUND 



Color: Red fawn or fawn with white patches. 



Height: 25 in. 



Weight: 66 Ibs. 



This is a lean-looking dog and by no means elegant. The skull is slightly domed, 

 narrow and long, and the jaws are long and powerful. His almond-shaped, brown 

 eyes convey a sour expression. The ears are pointed, erect, set on high, turned out- 

 wards, and very movable. The head is lean and straight, neck straight and rather short, 

 with short and powerful loins. The coat is short, hard and fairly long on the back, neck 

 and tail.
