sentences: Sighthound & Pariah Group is the name of a breed Group of dogs, used by the United Kennel Club to classify a defined collection of dog breeds. "Sighthound & Pariah Group" dogs are not all of the same dog type and may even be of different subspecies (the New Guinea Singing Dog is listed as "Canis lupus dingo".)
 The Fédération Cynologique Internationale refers to Pariah dog types as "Primitive types" and places them in Group 5 with Spitz types; sighthounds have their own group, Group 10.
 Other kennel clubs place most hounds together in the Hound Group, and the primitive types in other groups.

 Thanks to several enthusiasts, the hound was revived, standardized, and the number of registered and documented dogs reached around 350 in 1987.
 After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the breed decreased to around 150 individuals by 1998.
 The decrease in popularity is explained by changing hunting habits: the Lithuanian Hound is best suited for hunting large animals in large open areas, but modern hunting plots are decreasing in size.
 The Lithuanian Cynological Society plans to register the breed with the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI).

 The breed was developed by the landed gentry in order to get a dog suitable for fox hunting.
 Besides the Black and Tan there are the Walker, Calhoun, Penn-Marydel, Goodman, July and Trigg, which all developed from similar crosses.
 The Black and Tan is believed to descend form hunting dogs imported to America by Robert Brooke in 1650.
 These hunting dogs were the ancestors of several varieties of American hounds and stayed with the Brooke family for more than 300 years.
 Afterwards French Foxhounds were bred in after George Washington received them as gifts from the Marquis de Lafayette.
 Much later, the breed's speed and stamina were improved introducing Irish Foxhounds.

 Collies are very active and agile, and most types of collies have a very strong herding instinct.
 Collie breeds have spread through many parts of the world (especially Australia and North America) and have diversified into many varieties, sometimes with mixture from other dog types.
 Some collie breeds have remained as working dogs, used for herding cattle, sheep and other livestock, while others are kept as pets, show dogs or for dog sports, in which they display great agility, stamina and trainability.
 While the AKC has a breed they call "Collie", in fact collie dogs are a distinctive type of herding dog including many related landraces and formal breeds.

 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.
