Bweha

**Bweha** au **mbweha** ni mojawapo wa wanyama wadogo kiasi wa familia Canidae wanaopatikana Afrika, Amerika, Asia na Ulaya na walioainishwa katika jenasi *Canis*, *Cerdocyon*, *Lupulella*, *Lycalopex*, *Otocyon*, *Urocyon* na *Vulpes*.

Spishi mbili za jenasi *Canis*, ambazo ziliitwa bweha zamani, zina mnasaba sana na mbwa-mwitu. Kwa ukweli, siku hizi *Canis anthus* na *Canis aureus* zinafikiriwa kuwa mbwa-mwitu, lakini kwa sasa jina "bweha" litadumishwa kwa sababu linatumika sana.

## Usasi (Uwindaji) wa bweha 
Kwa muda mrefu, usasi wa bweha umeonekana kwamba umejikita mizizi tu kwa Waingereza ambako wao huchukua mbwa na farasi na kwenda huku wakiwawinda bweha. Usasi wa bweha haukuwa maarufu kwenye nchi nyingine za Ulaya. Waingereza waliasilisha desturi hii katika nchi za himaya yao na siku hizi hata Waafrika huwawinda bweha.  

Mbwa wawinda-bweha huweza kutumia hisia na kuwawinda bweha wekundu. Tendo hili la kuwawinda bweha limezua hisia tofauti huku wengi wakiliona kana kwamba lamfanya bweha awe matatani kulingana na hariri la Wild Hunter Club .
