Sighthound & Pariah Group
Kennel clubs assign breeds of dogs to Groups, which are loosely based on breed types. Breed Groups of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale more finely divide breeds by type and origin, and include separate groups for different types of hounds, while other kennel clubs have one group for all hounds. The Sighthound & Pariah Group is a Group category used by the United Kennel Club (US), placing together sighthounds and pariah or primitive type dogs, since both types have similar ancient lineage.

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“There is nothing in the world that I loathe more than group activity, that communal bath where the hairy and slippery mix in a multiplication of mediocrity.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
