Field Notes

Description:

Hunting dog of ancient origins. There are several races now over the whole Mediterranean. Is believed that the origin of these modern breeds are in ancient Egypt (particularly on race Tesema) and that the dogs were released by the Mediterranean coast to the Phoenicians. It looks like a jackal or slightly to the image of the Egyptian god

Notes:

My in-laws pet, her name is "Canela"

Yes, she is cute and very naughty (she loves to steal shoes and socks). Have added some information of this ancient dog race
