The Rastreador Brasileiro (in English, Brazilian Tracker) is a large breed of dog from Brazil, first recognised by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1967, but an outbreak of disease, compounded by an overdose of insecticide, wiped out the breed's entire breeding stock.
 The FCI and the Brazilian Kennel Club (Confederação Brasileira de Cinofilia) then declared the breed extinct in 1973 and delisted it.
 Since then, efforts have been made to re-create the breed.
 The Rastreador Brasileiro is a hunting dog of the scenthound type.
 The breed is also known by the names "Urrador" (for its hunting cry) or "Urrador Americano", in reference to the American (U.S.) coonhounds in its background.
A Finnish Spitz (Finnish language: "Suomenpystykorva") is a breed of dog originating in Finland.
 The breed was originally bred to hunt all types of game from squirrels and other rodents to bears.
 It is a "bark pointer", indicating the position of game by barking, and drawing the game animal's attention to itself, allowing an easier approach for the hunter.
 Its original game hunting purpose was to point to game that fled into trees, such as grouse, and capercaillies, but it also serves well for hunting elk.
 Some individuals have even been known to go after a bear.
 In its native country, the breed is still mostly used as a hunting dog.
 The breed is friendly and in general loves children, so it is suitable for domestic life.
 The Finnish Spitz has been the national dog of Finland since 1979.
The Pudelpointer is a versatile hunting dog breed from Germany.
 It is a pointing breed that came from a cross between the German hunting poodle (pudel) and the English Pointer.
The Wetterhoun (FCI No.221, translated into English as the Frisian Water Dog) is a breed of dog traditionally used as a hunting dog for hunting small mammals and waterfowl in the province of Fryslan in the Netherlands.
 The name of the dog comes from the West Frisian "Wetterhûn" meaning "water dog."
 Plural of Wetterhoun is Wetterhounen in Dutch.
 The breed may also be called the "Otterhoun" (not to be confused with the Otterhound) or "Dutch Spaniel", although it is not a Spaniel-type dog.
The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association was founded 1969 in Goodwood, Ontario, Canada by a group of pudelpointer and griffon enthusiasts.
 Presently based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, NAVHDA "is a nonprofit corporation whose purpose is to foster, promote, and improve the versatile hunting dog breeds in North America; to conserve game by using well trained reliable hunting dogs before and after the shot; and to aid in the prevention of cruelty to animals by discouraging nonselective and uncontrolled breeding, which produces unwanted and uncared for dogs."
 The group has chapters in most states of the U.S. and provinces of Canada which sponsor training and testing programs.
The German Spaniel, also known as the Deutscher Wachtelhund (German quail dog), is a breed of dog that was developed in Germany around 1890, and is used as a hunting dog.
 Descended from the old German breed, the Stoeberer (lit.
 "rummager"), which became popular with commoners following the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states, who required a versatile hunting dog.
 Stoeberer is now a type of hunting dog in Germany with the Wachtelhund being its sole member.
 The breed is not very well known outside of Germany, but was recognised by the United Kennel Club in 1996.
The German Wirehaired Pointer is a medium to large-sized griffon type breed of dog developed in the 19th century in Germany for hunting.
 It became a leading gun dog in Germany in the later part of the 20th century.

Chinese imperial cuisine is derived from a variety of cooking styles of the regions in China, mainly from the cuisines of Shandong and Jiangsu provinces.
 The style originated from various Emperors' Kitchen and the Empress Dowagers' Kitchen, and it is similar to Beijing cuisine which it heavily influenced.
 Imperial cuisine was served mainly to the emperors, their empresses and concubines, and the imperial family.

 Visual presentation is also very important, so the colour and the shape of the dish must be carefully arranged.
