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.
A breed group is a categorization of related breeds of animal by an overseer organization, used to organize the showing of animals.
 In dogs, kennel clubs define the "Breed Groups" and decide which dog breeds are to be included in each breed group.
 The Fédération Cynologique Internationale breed groups are used to organize dogs for international competition.
 Breed groups often have the names of, and are loosely based on, ancestral dog types of modern dog breeds.
The Vanjari Hound (Malayalam: വഞ്ചാരി ഹൗണ്ട് ) is a breed of dog found in India.
 It is a greyhound-type dog used by the nomadic Vanjari of Maharashtra, primarily as a sighthound in hunting.
 However, it has also been used as a guard dog and a herding dog.
 The breed is currently at risk from interbreeding with other dog breeds.
The Chien-gris a.k.a. Gris de Saint-Louis ("Grey St. Louis Hound") was a breed of dog, now extinct, which originated in Medieval times.
 Like the Chien de Saint-Hubert it was a scenthound, and formed part of the royal packs of France, which were composed, from about 1250 till 1470, exclusively of hounds of this type.
 According to King Charles IX, (1550–1574) they supposedly were introduced to France through Saint Louis (i.e. King Louis IX, 1226–1270), who had encountered these hounds while a prisoner during the Crusades, and subsequently received some as a gift.
 Old writers on hunting liked to ascribe an ancient and remote origin to their hounds, and these were claimed to be originally from Tartary.
Vulnerable Native Breeds are a group of dog breeds originating in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and identified by The Kennel Club (KC) as having annual registration numbers of 300 puppies or fewer.
 The need for such a list was first identified in June 2003, with research conducted by the KC to identify the extent of the vulnerability and viability of each breed.
 It was a joint project, with the KC working with the British and Irish Native Breeds Trust, later to be known simply as the Native Dog Breeds Trust.
 The breeds on the list have been promoted at events such as Discover Dogs and Crufts, and by asking that owners of these breeds mate their dogs rather than having them spayed.
Dog breeds are dogs that have relatively uniform physical characteristics developed under controlled conditions by humans, with breeding animals selected for phenotypic traits such as size, coat color, structure, and behavior.
 The Fédération Cynologique Internationale recognizes over 400 pure dog breeds.
Conformation in dogs refers solely to the externally visible details of a dog's structure and appearance, as defined in detail by each dog breed's written breed standard.
 A dog that "conforms" to most of the items of description in its individual breed standard is said to have "good conformation".
 Unlike equine conformation, there are no fixed rules for dog conformation, as dogs are the most variable in appearance of any animals ("Phenotypic variation among dog breeds, whether it be in size, shape, or behavior, is greater than for any other animal").
 Instead, conformation in dogs is based on the dog type from which the breed developed, along with many details that have been added to the breed standard for purposes of differentiation from other breeds, for working reasons, or for enhancing the beauty of the animals from the viewpoint of the fanciers who wrote the breed standards.
The Romanian Raven Shepherd Dog is a very large Romanian livestock guardian dog, taxonomized within the second group of dog breeds - Pinscher and Schanuzer - Molossoid Breeds - Swiss Mountain and Cattle Dogs, section 2.2: Molossoid Breeds - Mountain type.
Tugou (土狗, pinyin: "tǔ gǒu"), literally means Native Dog in Mandarin Chinese, is the general name for several dog breeds originated from China and still abundantly exists across the country today.
 Tugou includes the most popular Chinese dog breed - the Chinese Field Dog (, pinyin: "zhōng huá tián yuán quǎn"), Chinese Chongqing Dog, Xiasi Dog, and several other native dog breeds distributed across China.
 They are roughly 45–50 cm tall at the shoulder.
Twelve states of the United States have designated an official state dog breed.
 Maryland was the first state to name a dog breed as a state symbol, naming the Chesapeake Bay Retriever in 1964.
 Pennsylvania followed the year after, naming the Great Dane as its official breed.
 Dog breeds are mostly affiliated with the states that they originated in.
 North Carolina chose the Plott Hound as it was the only dog breed indigenous to the state.
