		<description><![CDATA[This handsome, cheerful dog is the most well-known of the four Sennehunde, or Swiss mountain dogs.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a dog of ancient lineage who most likely originated in Turkey to defend flocks against predators like wolves and bears. For at least 4,000 years, this fearless dog has been a staunch protector of homes and families&#8230;Although his name implied that he&#8217;s herding dog, the Anatolian was never used as such. In Turkish, [...]]]></description>

The name mahlemut is dervied from the Inuit people; it means &#8220;tribal dog&#8221; of these ancient arctic dwellers&#8230;Like many other &#8220;cold weather&#8221; dogs, the Malamute is of the &#8220;spitz family, meaning that his long curved tail arches in a bow across his [...]]]></description>

He was largely unknown to the Western world until 1937 when Helen Keller brought an Akita to America&#8230;The Akita is a serious dog, and should be taken seriously by his owners.

Although he was developed from Greyhound roots, the Whippet is a distinct breed in his own right&#8230;The origin of the Whippet goes back to England in the 1700&#8242;s. He is a keen-eyed sight hound developed for hunting rabbits by poachers. Their speed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Highlands of Scotland, the Deerhound has been prized by clan chieftans and nobility (&#8220;Lairds&#8221;) since the 16th century. When the clan system collapsed in 1746, the Scottish Deerhound was threatened with extinction, but revived by legendary breeder Duncan MacNeil&#8230;Large, powerful and strong, the Scottish Deerhound was used exactly as his name implies; he [...]]]></description>

European settlers and explorers cross-bred five well-established hounds and native African dogs to produce a large, powerful dog used for big game hunting who became known as the Rhodesian Ridgeback&#8230;Although he&#8217;s nicknamed the &#8220;Lion Dog,&#8221; the Ridgeback was never really used to hunt lions, but was very [...]]]></description>

His picture adorns many a Pharaoh&#8217;s tomb as well as artifacts from Macedonia, Persia,  the Ottoman Empire and Babylon&#8230;This extraordinary sighthound probably got his name from [...]]]></description>

Depictions of him can be found as far back as the XIX Egyptian dynasty&#8230;Manuscripts from ancient Malta describe the Pharaoh Hound: &#8220;The red, long-tailed dog goes at night [...]]]></description>
