Hungarian Greyhound Dog Breed
(Magyar Agar)Hungary
The Magyar Agar, or Hungarian Greyhound, has in common with other greyhound species a long history: this sort of greyhound is represented with Hungarian sepulchral stones from the 9th Century. It is evident that the breed shares with other greyhounds the same ancestry, but it has not bred with them until a thousand years later. Until the 19th Century, it did share the British Wolfhound. The Magyar Agar still differs from the Wolfhound in respect of the type: it does not have that delightful elegance, and its aspect commonly suggests that of the hunting dog.The Magyar Agar needs to have aerodynamic lines, to be well-built, and have a robust build. The head shows a stop which is less defined than that of the Wolfhound, the ears are not carried at the same way, not even when the dog is in alert mode, and the tail is commonly curved in a form of a ring at its end. It has a short and smooth coat, but it commonly grows in winter. The color varies, but normally is black or multicolored, sometimes dotted. The breed standards do not commonly specifies the height, but the breed must weight 27-31 kilos in male dogs, and 22-26 in female dogs. |
