The Kangaroo Dog is a purpose-bred Australian sighthound that is considered a "type" of dog rather than a purebred. The breed is maintained purely for hunting game by sight, and little interest is shown by breeders in joining the ANKC. However there is some discussion among a small group of hunters on starting a working registry which focuses on the working ability of these dogs rather than solely on their looks.

Famous quotes containing the word dog:
“That hour in the life of a man when first the help of humanity fails him, and he learns that in his obscurity and indigence humanity holds him a dog and no man: that hour is a hard one, but not the hardest. There is still another hour which follows, when he learns that in his infinite comparative minuteness and abjectness, the gods do likewise despise him, and own him not of their clan.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
