Sighthound & Pariah Group

Sighthound & Pariah Group

Sighthound & Pariah Group is the name of a breed Group of dogs, used by the United Kennel Club to classify a defined collection of dog breeds. Sighthound & Pariah Group dogs are not all of the same dog type and may even be of different subspecies (the New Guinea Singing Dog is listed as Canis lupus dingo.) The Fédération Cynologique Internationale refers to Pariah dog types as Primitive types and places them in Group 5 with Spitz types; sighthounds have their own group, Group 10. Other kennel clubs place most hounds together in the Hound Group, and the primitive types in other groups.
