agree  Rowan Morrell: Pretty convincing references. Although I also wonder about "racing dogs" (but maybe that would be Rennhunde).

  -> Greyhounds are usually rennhunde. Afghans and Whippets too-but they are all under the sighthound category. like Salukis, etc./fwiw-I had NO idea Rhodesian Ridgebacks were sight hounds!

agree  David Moore (X): Here's a link to give all sighthound breeds - yes, the RRidgeback IS there too!! -:http://nefer-temu.8m.com/dogs/sighthounds/
