The Austrian Pinscher (Österreichischer Pinscher, FCI No. 64) is a medium-sized breed of pinscher-type dog from Austria, where dogs of the type were originally farm dogs, keeping barns free of rats and acting as home guards, livestock guardians, and drovers.

The Giant Schnauzer is a working breed of dog developed in the 17th century in Germany.
 It is the largest of the three breeds of Schnauzerthe other two breeds being the Standard Schnauzer and the Miniature Schnauzer.
 Numerous breeds were used in its development, including the black Great Dane, the Bouvier des Flandres, and the German Pinscher.
 Originally bred to assist on farms by driving livestock to market and guarding the farmer's property, the breed eventually moved into the city, where it worked guarding breweries, butchers' shops, stockyards and factories.

The Andalusian hound (Spanish: "Podenco andaluz" ) is a dog breed originating in Spain, especially Andalusia.
 These dogs are similar to other Iberian breeds such as the Ibizan Hound, the Portuguese Podengo, the Podenco Canario and the Maneto.
 In the Iberian Peninsula there are cave paintings representing dogs with a strong resemblance to these races.
 Dogs very similar to these, including the Cirneco dell'Etna and Pharaoh Hound, have been bred in much of the Mediterranean basin since ancient times.
 Despite the widespread belief that the podencos were introduced into Spain some 3,000 years ago by the Phoenicians, recent genetic studies have concluded that these dogs actually have a close genetic relationship with other European hunting dogs and are no more "primitive" than the others.

The Harlequin Pinscher is a type of Miniature Pinscher, which is a toy-sized dog.
 It originated in Germany and was created by crossing traditional Miniature Pinschers with various toy-sized short-haired terriers.
 It originated in Germany where it was used to kill rats and mice.
 It is known by several different names including the Harlequin Pinscher, Spotted Pinscher, Merle Pinscher, Harlequin Miniature Pinscher and the Harlequin Min Pin.
 It is believed that the Harlequin Pinscher was created in Germany some time during the late 18th century.
 They were likely the result of crosses between traditional Miniature Pinschers and Toy Fox Terriers or Rat Terriers.
 While Harlequin and other Min Pins were mainly used for ratting throughout history, they were also cherished pets.
 Harlequin Pinschers nearly became extinct following World War II; however, a group of enthusiasts worked together to revive the breed by collecting worthy specimens to breed.
 Today, although the Harlequin Pinscher is rather rare, select Min Pin breeders are working hard to establish it as a pure-breed that is eligible for registration.
