Question: What type of animal does Old Time Farm Shepherd and Portuguese Podengo have in common?

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. <SEP>  Old Time Farm Shepherds are the descendants of the old working Scotch Collies that were common on farms in America in the early twentieth century; as a recognized breed, they were started by J. Richard McDuffie in 1994. The Old Time Farm Shepherd is a rare breed of working dog known for its versatility and intelligence. <SEP>  As a breed, the Podengo is divided into three size categories that are not interbred: small (Pequeno), medium (Medio) and large (Grande).  Their coats are either short and 'smooth', or longer and 'wired'.  The smooth coated variety is traditional, dating back to the 5th century, whereas the wire coated variety is an outcome of the assimilation of various other breeds during the 20th century.  In general, the breed is healthy; the Pequeno (small) variety has an average lifespan of approximately 15–17 years. The Portuguese Podengo is an ancient multi-sensory hound (sight and scent) breed of dog from Portugal. <SEP> The Freight Hoppers have been presenting Old Time String Band music for more than 20 years.  The band started presenting their energetic take on fiddle band music 4 times a day, 7 days a week at the Great Smoky Mountains Railway shortly after forming back in 1992.  This afforded the group plenty of paid rehearsal time to hone a sound that has proven entertaining and distinctively theirs.  Their repertoire includes music that was first recorded in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and spans geographically from Mississippi to West Virginia.  The Freight Hoppers play hard driving old time music with an emotional, raw excitement that keeps one foot planted in the past and the other in the present.  Of course that’s only when they keep their feet still, for this is high energy dance music of an older day played like there's no tomorrow.  Finding their passion from a love of stringband music of the 1920s and 1930s, The Freight Hoppers have been entertaining crowds of fans at festivals and music halls alike as they travel around the country, and beyond.  The heart of the band is held together by the fiddle and banjo combo of Merritt Smith and Frank Lee, while the rhythm section of Allie Burbrink on guitar and Andrea Smith on string bass hold down the ensemble.  Based out of the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, The Freight Hoppers draw from a deep source of rural southern music for their inspiration, and are proud to present music that is still very much alive and meaningful to today's world.
