Greyhounds were depicted on art forms as far back as in the time of the ancient Pharaohs over 4,000 years ago. Yet the ancient Greyhound is not the one we know today, these dogs were more like the Saluki. The Saluki, also known as the Persian Greyhound, was revered and never sold. They were more often owned by nomads who would give them as gifts to traveling traders, thus were introduced to other parts of the world. In cooler climates like Russia the Saluki was crossed with other breeds to develop thicker coats like the Afgan. All these cross breeds that belong to the sleek, sight hunting dogs are known as sight hounds. The quintessential breed of this family being the Greyhound. Today most Greyhounds derive from the British form. In Saxon times in Britian they were used for hunting by commoners and sport racing by the wealthy. In the 11th century using Greyhounds for hunting was banded so they remained largely used for coursing, dubbed the ‘Sport of the Queens’ because queen Elizabeth loved it so much. In 1776 the first course club was formed and it became a favorite past time of the upper class. In the 1700's Lord Oxford crossed the Greyhound with a Bulldog and back to Greyhounds for seven generations. The crossbreeds were dogs that could not be beaten at the racetrack. All present day Greyhounds are said to trace back to two of these crossbreeds. Greyhounds came to North America on Spanish expeditions and by being brought over by settlers who used them for vermin control on their farms. 1.Rescues

There are seven different groups in which the dog can belong. They are assigned to one of the groups based on what the breed of dog was originally developed for. There is also a miscellaneous group if the dog doesn't fit into one of the seven. The seven different dog groups are as follows. The first is the sporting group. These dogs were developed to work with people who hunted birds. A Labrador Retriever would fit into this group. Labs can also be beneficial as guide dogs and in search and rescue. The second group is the hound group. These dogs were developed to hunt using their scent and sight. This group includes the Whippet, which is the fastest domestic animal of their size. They can run up to 35 mph. Thirdly, is the working group, which includes the Saint Bernard. They have been known for hundreds of years for their rescue work in the Alps. Other dogs in this group are useful for herding or guarding. The fourth group is the terrier group, first developed to hunt vermin. The Australian Terrier, one of the smallest terriers, is a part of this group. They were developed to work side by side with the Australian pioneers to aid in tending the sheep or chasing off invaders. The fifth group is the toy group, developed to be companions. A Japanese Chin is a good example. They like to play, show off, and spend lots of time trying to keep clean and tidy. The sixth group is the non-sporting group, which overall do not perform the tasks that they were originally developed for. A good example would be the American Eskimo Dog. These dogs were sometimes used in circus acts at the beginning of the century. The seventh group is the herding group, which was meant to be used in working with livestock. The German Shepherd is in this group. They are not only useful in herding livestock, they are also great companions to humans. Originally, many dog breeds were first developed for specific uses, such as hunting, companionship, herding, etc. Today, because man has created such a large variety of dog breeds, there is a dog out there to make almost anybody happy. Currently, the most popular dog breed in America is the Labrador Retriever, with the Golden Retriever coming in second.
