Steeped 
            in the traditions, politics and intrigues of the royal courts of the 
            ancient world, sighthounds have always been admired by royalty for 
            their beauty, speed, endurance, agility, efficiency, and dignity. 
            These breeds are among the oldest known dog breeds, many changed little 
            in form from the times of the Pharaohs, Tsars, Lairds, Sheiks, Kings 
            and Queens of Europe, Africa and Asia. Owning a sighthound is like 
          owning a small piece of that history.  |
