[edit] Pharoah Hounds and ibizan hounds
Any info on these two?
Both Pharoah Hounds and Ibizian Hounds were tested and shown to be essentially modern. This is not surprising since they are both "reconstructions", derived from intercrosses of the very few, if any, surviving members of the original breeds with a hefty dose of Greyhound and other modern breeds.

[edit] Surprising?
Why is it surprising that those six pairs of breeds are closely related? They look a lot alike and have nearby (or the same) countries of origin. Or am I misreading it? --Joelmills 21:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
