The Ibizan Hound is believed to have existed for thousands of years, with similar dogs seen in the art of ancient Egypt. The breed developed in the Balearic Islands to hunt rabbits and took its breed name from one of the islands. They were introduced to the United States in the mid-twentieth century and recognized by AKC in the late 1970s.
I bet that caught your eye. I’m referring to Norway’s ongoing courtroom confrontation to decide the legitimacy of selective breeding.

You likely know the number of dogs and bitches it takes for a major in your breed. You may even know the number of dogs your dog must defeat, or the number of group placements required to be ranked in the Top Ten of your breed.

The Golden Retriever is and has been one of the most popular breeds in the United States for years. Originating in Scotland in the second half of the nineteenth century on the estate of Lord Tweedmouth, the Golden was developed as and is a gundog used in hunting birds.
