In addition to the above named varieties of the Greyhound, there are
others known as Greyhounds of Crimea, of Caucasus, of Circassia, of
Tartary, of Kurdistan, and of Anatoly. None of these, however, have any
adopted “points,” but are rather the result of crossings between the
Borzoi and the different Asiatic greyhounds which are portrayed in other
parts of this work.
As a general rule these dogs are used for hunting various kinds of
fleet-footed game, sometimes in the interest of sport, but more
frequently in the protection of the homestead against wolves and other
kinds of wild beasts.
