Sighthound & Pariah Dog Breeds: Ancient Hunters with Speed, Independence, and Elegance
The UKC Sighthound & Pariah Group includes dog breeds known for their deep historical roots, exceptional hunting instincts, and distinctive physical traits. Sighthounds such as the Greyhound, Saluki, and Whippet are built for speed and visual acuity, using their keen eyesight and streamlined bodies to chase prey across open terrain. Pariah-type dogs, like the Canaan Dog and Carolina Dog, reflect primitive traits and natural adaptability, often thriving in free-ranging or semi-feral environments. These breeds are typically independent, reserved with strangers, and deeply loyal to their families. Whether sprinting in the field or quietly observing their surroundings, Sighthound & Pariah dogs combine ancient elegance with modern companionship.
