The Istrian Short-haired Hound (FCI No. 151, original name is "Istarski Kratkodlaki Gonič") is a breed of dog from Istria in Croatia, descended from a very old type of scenthound.
 This hound is the slightly smaller counterpart to the longer-coated Istrian Coarse-haired Hound from the same region.
The Kritikos Lagonikos (Cretan Hound) (Greek:Kρητικός Λαγωνικός) is a hunting breed of dog from the island of Crete, in Greece.

The Istrian Coarse-haired Hound (Croatian: "istarski oštrodlaki gonič" , Slovene: "istrski ostrodlaki gonič" ) is a dog breed from Croatia, developed in the mid-19th century for hunting fox and rabbit.
 It is a rough-coated scent hound still kept primarily as a hunting dog rather than as a pet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Warren Hound refers to the group of Mediterranean hare-hunting dogs.
 In Spanish, this kind of breeds are called "podencos" and in Portuguese, "podengos".
 Generally speaking, a warren hound has erect ears, a smooth (or in some cases, wire) coat and a whip-like tail.
 However, there are some exceptions: for instance, the Cretan Hound has usually rose-ears and a curly or curved tail, while the Barrocal Algarvio is long-haired.
 Unlike hounds or sighthounds which rely on just one sense, warren hounds tend to work with three senses: smell, sight and hearing.
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.
