Beagle breed dog is a a progenitor of all the hunting dogs. Origin of the beagle and mysteriously lost in the mists of time. Several well-known beagle lovers offered their version of the origin of this breed, so the following notes owned by Captain Otho Paget from Melton Mowbray, England, which is probably one of the first carried away by them. According to Greek historian xenon nofontu, there were hounds, working on the trail, and the Romans adopted many customs of ancient Greece. In England before the arrival of the Romans already had their own hounds, and it is recorded that Pvill, Prince of Wales, a contemporary of King Arthur, had a special breed of superb white hounds. Fans Retriever, setters, spaniels and other breeds argue that creating a hound used these dogs. It seems unlikely, apparently it’s actually happened vice versa. Beagle was a progenitor of all the hunting dogs, and two clearly differing breeds were “Haze”, or a greyhound, who hunted only by means of view, and Bloodhound, which relied solely on instinct.
In the days of Queen Bess, almost every English gentleman had in his pack of hounds in any type of hunting for prey. Fox at that time game was not considered. Apparently, while the hounds divided into two classes – large and small. Large termed “bakhaundy” with them to hunt deer, and those that smaller – “Beagle” – from the French «Beagle», for hunting hare.
By the middle of the XVIII century fox hunting was acquiring popularity among young people, preferring the thrill, not watching to see how the hounds hare untangle the loop. Undoubtedly, the Foxhound (fox hound) arose from crosses bakhaunda and beagle. By this time, at the whim of the breeders, there are two types of hounds to hunt the hare: one – the southern hound “, and another – the” northern beagle. The first was slow and cumbersome, while the second was his complete opposite. According to the author at the time, “North beagle was agile and energetic, and does its work so zealously that he Iiuy1 would have remained happy with it.
In the middle of the XIX century Parson Honeywood assembled an experienced pack, demonstrating a mastery of the dogs in Essex. His gang was the basis of the modern beagle, so almost every well-known kennels are the descendants of these dogs. Beagle is one of the oldest breeds in history and, along with the Bloodhound, and possibly otterhaundom is closest to the origins of the appearance of the hounds 
Beagle breed dogs are hunters, beagles are fast run, beagle dogs hunt separately. Up to about 1870 in the United States are small hunting hounds Southern states, which was then called Beagle, more like pryamonogih basset or had lighter head, like a taxi, and were white color with a small amount of dark spots. They were very agile, tireless hunters full of vigorous energy, fast cornering, but it looks ugly. Those dogs, which in 1860 brought into the country from Gen. Richard Rouett Karlinsvillya, Illinois, became a turning point in the history of American-style beagle. They have improved the exterior of which thought little ones who until then was hunting with beagles. From what leash in England, General Rouett received his hounds, remains unknown.
Around 1880, Mr. Arnold of Providence, Rhode Island, brought a pack of beagles from Northern England, which had a huge impact on American beagles. In 1896, James L. Kerr Noha brought from England pack, which gave a lot of top-notch hounds.
In 1888 was founded the National Club Beagle, which carried out the first field tests. Since that time, throughout the United States were quick to organize field trials, which were awarded points, and many clubs were allowed to conduct informal tests. Leash, stand in single classes for hounds in height from 33 to 38 cm and in classes for hounds below 33 cm, and in the national tests – and in a class pack. There are single class for young hounds, called “Derby” and the classes of all ages without regard to growth. At the national trials in addition to these there are four classes of single-class pack, which will compete separately, as is done in a single class, with a score.
In addition to the exhibition of all breeds, through the American Kennel Club, hunting clubs hold specialized exhibitions in field trials and on breeds of hounds.
Those who are interested in hunting with beagles in the pack, usually experience the pleasure of hunting larger birds with one stone than a wire-haired American rabbits. Rabbits are not hiding in holes and do not spoil the hunt, thus, making a much more long, straight and fast run. Hare, lives in the northern marshes – an excellent facility for hunting with a pack, but does not survive in other areas.
In the United States there are thousands of hunters who keep a few beagles and use them to hunt separately. In addition, there are many leash, registered in the National Club “Beagle.” They hunted in the prescribed manner, with the permanent rangers in hunting livery, with special collars distinctive color and
etc. The restriction on height for beagle in the United States is 38 cm, and in England – 40.5 cm Canes higher growth are not allowed on field trials or exhibition.

Bloodhound breed dog is intelligent, Bloodhound dog begin to pursue prey by smell, Bloodhound is a hunter. When Claudius Aelian wrote in the III century AD. er. his famous book, «Historia Animalium», he mentioned the special warmth breed of hounds, which had no equal on instinct, and which had such a persistent search that does not cast a wake up until it finds the beast. Thus, the Roman scholar of ancient times painted a portrait of a dog, now known as Bloodhound.
Today it looks a little different, but it retained its unusual ability to walk on the trail, even with the slight smell.
How far into the past is rooted Bloodhound is unknown, but many experts believe that the breed was known in the Mediterranean long before our era. Bloodhound called modern of the oldest types of hounds, though time has changed its appearance compared to those dogs, which extolled the ancients.
In Europe, Bloodhound, was brought from Constantinople long before the Crusades. In color, they were divided into black and white. Black were the famous San governor VIII century, and white later became known as the southern hounds. In England imported dog black dog.
Bloodhound played a big role in the development of other breeds of dogs such as beagles and hounds.
In the XII century, when even the bishops were hunted on horseback with hounds, the higher clergy who have facilitated the development of the Bloodhound. Many priests kept a pack of hounds, kennels and has been an integral part of every monastery. It is they who largely is credited with saving the breed pure. Breeding of these dogs was carried out with such care that they were called «blooded hound», that is purebred or aristocratic hound.
Several centuries later, the famous English physician and dog lover Dr. Johannes Caius gave a different explanation for the title and provided a description of the breed. Here it is: “… It remains to mention the larger class, these dogs too pendulous lips and ears, and is well known that they are pursuing their prey on the blood trail, sensing the smell of blood. If the game had been wounded and left hands of the hunter, or if it is taken from the workload is killed (in both cases was shed much blood), these hounds immediately begin to pursue prey by smell. Precisely because they rightly called Sanguinaraii (blood) 
Bloodhound hunter dog is known for a century. However, it often happens that some animal thieves stole and thus act prudently to avoid bloodshed, but the dogs are so smart that even in this case, go on a dry human trace a great distance and can provide the right person in the crowd, no matter what big it was. Forced his way through dense thickets, they continue to prosecute, even when they have to cross the river, and clicking on the other side, they begin to circle again to take the trace. Thus, they complement the skill and perseverance deserve what they said about Elian in his History of Animals.
Although the modern type was formed in England, the merit in its formation belongs to the United States. In America, the breed is known for a century.
Abolitionists once drew harrowing images, in which fugitive slaves pursued the Bloodhound, but hardly for this purpose are actually used dogs of this breed, although at that time in the south there were quite a lot. Bloodhound often called mongrel dogs, and most likely they terrifying the slaves.
Purebred Bloodhound – one of the most docile breeds. In pursuit of Bloodhound more motivated sporting interest than anything else. Unlike the police dog, he never attacks on a man who tracks down. Once Bloodhound brought rut until the end, in this his problem ends. But he so accurately recognize implies that this is proof to the court. Some of the famous American Bloodhound found more criminals
What are the best detectives. On account of one male was found over six hundred criminals. The famous dog Nick Carter took the trail, which was one hundred five hours, and as a result of the offender was apprehended. This record set in the early 1900′s, is now exceeded by more than half.
Dog owners have proved that the Bloodhound can be both a champion of the show, and bloodhound 
Bloodhound breed dog is fast, strong and rescue dog. Members of the National Association of “Police Bloodhound” together with volunteers from the search rescue clubs across the country are increasingly using the Bloodhound in its traditional work. Endurance and tenacity of this species are confirmed by the vast distances that have dog runs, so some dogs chased a man for over 80 kilometers, and one dog led detectives 220 kilometers, detaining the offender.
As for obedience, the Bloodhound quickly learn the necessary, but can be stubborn, if not enjoy it.
In recent years, an increasing number of Bloodhound receive the title of “Companion Dog”, and several dogs have titles COX and UD.

| Borzoi hound dog Posted: 19 Apr 2011 01:08 PM PDT 
Borzoi is a breed of dog, This Borzoi dog is originally bred for baiting a wild animal, Borzoi dog is a Long-haired dog Greyhound, until 1936 known in the U.S. as a Russian wolfhound, pursues and catches the beast with the help of sight, differing agility, dexterity and daring.
Today, these beautiful and intelligent dogs not only hunt in the field, but also adorn the living rooms of houses. Their story goes into the misty past of imperial Russia.
Russian aristocracy for hundreds of years bred these dogs. There is evidence, telling about the hunting expeditions to the Mongolian ruler Genghis Khan’s era, in which as the main hunting dogs are referred to larger greyhounds. In Russia, believed that the ancestors of the greyhound had several types of dogs, including long-haired dog with a smooth face, which in ancient Russia to hunt bears, dogs that are used in the south of the Tatars, “Ovcara” – a high Russian herding dogs, as well as other ancient types hunting dogs pursuers beast with the help of sight.
Whatever the origin of the greyhound, in the records of the court of Grand Prince of Novgorod in 1260 is referred to as rabbit-baiting fun, and in 1650 was recorded first Borzoi standard (according to the testimony, it is not very different from the current standard).
Since the early Russian Tsars to the abolition of serfdom in 1861, hunting with hounds was the prerogative of the Russian aristocracy. Vast estates, stretching for thousands of acres, with hundreds of serfs were used for breeding and training greyhounds, and hunting with them.
Today it is hard even to imagine that the scope and grandeur, which is the successor to the noble hound. Prior to 1861, and to a lesser degree until the 1917 revolution, these dogs spent so much effort and money, as to any other breed. In hunting season, hunting was carried out near the main land or hunters traveled from one place to another in search of game 
Borzoi dogs near to the lake with their owner The monograph Roller on hunting in Pershin said that for the transport of people, horses, dogs, tents, kitchen, crew, etc. to the site using a special hunt hunting train, consisting of 42 freight cars, including two carriages of the first and second classes , where the Prince and his guests were arriving by train the individual. In the hunt was attended by more than 100 greyhounds as much Foxhound and rangers. Horses were chosen specifically for hunting as a pack of hounds and the Foxhound. When the entire group was coming to the place where according to preliminary data there were wolves, plans, made preparations and started hunting. Beaters, accompanied by a pack of Foxhound chased the animal, usually a wolf from the forest into the open field, where they waited a respectful distance riding hunters, each with a triple greyhounds on a leash – one female and two males. When they showed the beast, the hunter took his dog with a leash. Greyhounds chased the wolf, and after they rode hunters. After an exciting chase, if the wolf could not escape, greyhounds should grab it and hold until the arrival of the hunters, who at full speed rushed to the site of the bout, according to the accepted custom to immediately engage in a fight, the wolf’s mouth shut and tie it. After that, the wolf is often released and, of course, the next time he conducted himself smarter and more cautious. Fascinating story of a hunt can be read from Tolstoy in his novel “War and Peace” (Book II, Part 4, Chapter 3).
In the period from the Napoleonic Wars to the abolition of serfdom in 1861, appears to have been many experimental unrelated crosses. In 1873, only a few remaining hounds of the old type and the Imperial Society was formed to protect them and breeding. This society is of great interest to fans of modern greyhounds, because many of today’s bloodlines greyhounds America, if not most, go back to the breeders who were members of that society. The most famous among them was the Grand Duke Nicholas, uncle of the king and commander of the Russian army. The second most important was Artem Boldarev rich landowner. Led to these people members of the public looking for, bred and kept the old type of hound. And it is their hunting in Pershin and Vorontsovo obliged many of today’s greyhounds of their heritage.
As far as is known, first appeared in the American Greyhound – bitch named Elsie – was brought from England in 1889 by William Wade of Halton, Pennsylvania. This dog he bought from Freeman Lloyd. «The English Stockkeeper» describes it this way: “… the kind of nothing special, small, lightweight and cachectic, with a light bone structure, with a straight back, a twisted tail and sharp knees.”
The first American who traveled to Russia and brought back the hounds (including two dogs, who were then the champions ACC), was Stedman Hanks, founded in 1890 Seacroft nursery in Massachusetts.
Beginning in 1903, Joseph Thomas (from the nursery Valley Farm) visited three times in Russia and brought the dogs, which was destined to play an important role in creating American bloodlines greyhound. Among them were brought dogs were greyhounds from kennels Pershin, belonged to Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolaevich, and from the nursery Vorontsovo owned by Artem Boldarevu.
Modern greyhound remained almost unchanged compared to her Russian ancestors, both in appearance and in a calm, gentle nature and working qualities.
In the West, this dog is often used for harassment, which is becoming increasingly popular in many states. Mind and ability to learn have enabled many greyhounds get prizes for obedience. Despite the fact that the main purpose of a greyhound – hunting, its beauty and temperament has always been highly valued. She was always elegant companion and decoration of interior.
Today, this noble breed easily finds its way to the heart of his master, and although for now the hounds are not the conditions in tsarist Russia, they remain true aristocrats

Greyhound is breed of dog for hunting, it is a short-haired hound dog, dog for running, rescue dog, muscular dog. Greyhound is very intelligent and gorgeous dog. Quick, like a ray of light, graceful as a swallow, wise as Solomon, – all this allows us to predict that the Greyhound as a breed will never die. His fame was first recorded in writing in the hot sands of Egypt, can be traced to various locations in almost every country on every continent of the globe.
This type of dog was known to the ancients, and from time immemorial it was a symbol of aristocracy. However, Greyhound - it’s such a dog that does not need the fanfare to herald its approach, and do not need armor to rivet the eye of people. His innate qualities allow it to rotate in all circles, high and low.
The first information about the Greyhound have reached us from the tomb Amtena in the Nile Valley. Egyptologists believe that it belongs to the fourth dynasty, that is, in modern history to 2900-2751 years BC. er. Thread in this old tomb depicts three different episodes with the dogs, no doubt related to the type of Greyhound. In two of them they attack the deer, and the third – an animal with horns, somewhat resembling the American mountain goat. A dog’s tail
ring. 
Male Greyhound dog in the garden Put forward a lot of assumptions about the origin of the word “Greyhound“. One of them is the name derives from the word «Graitus», which means “Greek”, because this dog is very appreciated by the ancient Greeks. Another hypothesis associates the word with the old British grech or greg, meaning “dog.” Some argue that it came into use, because once the predominant color of this rock was gray («grey» – «gray”).
While in the old Egyptian pictures greyhound as a recognizable type exists with a very long time, the first full description of this species have survived from the Roman sources. It was written by Ovid, who lived from 1943 BC. er. in 1917 by. er. This description confirms that in ancient times, the dog looked just like today.
Greyhound has always moved in the aristocratic and cultural environment. He was a favorite of the rulers of Egypt, it was diluted and grown in a luxurious setting that oppress the people and the ordinary people of those times had every reason to hate this dog. However, the nature of this dog was just as nice and docile as they are today. If ordinary people were allowed to keep these dogs, the story would have gone the other way, but such a right they did not have.
Ancient traditions associated with the Greyhound came from the depths of history. This dog has existed in England from very early times. In one manuscript of X century AD. er. is an illustration depicting Elfrika, duke of Mercia, and next to the Saxon leader worth his hunter with a pack of greyhounds. It is not known for many centuries before Elfrika in England knew Greyhound, but there is every reason to believe that this breed has existed there for a long time 
Large Greyhound dog lying outdoor in the park Adopted at the meeting of Parliament at Winchester in 1016, the famous code of laws, written in Danish, because at that time the Danes have won a large part of modern Britain, confirms what position in society occupied the greyhound. Article 31-I of this body of law reads: A person of low type can not keep the greyhounds, but free citizens can keep greyhounds … But if they come to the borders of the forest closer than 10 miles, they have to pay 12 pence for each mile, and if Greyhound would find in the forest, the owner or dog owner gives the dog and ten shillings to the king.
With the Greyhounds to hunt small game and deer, foxes, etc., but by its very nature it is intended for the hare, and this dog for centuries seen as a greyhound. Hunting with hounds is held in England for two centuries.
Greyhound has appeared in America before 1776. Laurel Drew, who dealt with the history of this breed, find information on Greyhound, which was brought to this country (along with Mastiffs) Spanish explorers in the early 1500-ies in order to “protect, hunt, intimidate and punish their enemies – in this case Indians . In these data refers to the hunting prowess greyhounds, how they “went to the nearby forest and returned from there with hares and rabbits.”
Greyhound prominently in the diaries of English explorer George Cartwright, who made an expedition to Labrador in 1770. Baron Friedrich von Steuben, a German military professional who has helped to General Washington in the war for independence, has always walked, accompanied by a huge Greyhound named Azor 
Cute Greyhound puppies playing in the kitchen Of the many owners of greyhounds by one of the most famous in history was the general Jor i g A. Custer, who was particularly fond of the breed greyhounds – Greyhounds n deer hounds – and traveled with a pack, which was about 40 soblk. One book says that Custer’s dogs competed in the race on the eve of his departure for the fatal expedition to the Big Horn River in 1876.
