[edit]I have added the Rajapalayam to the list of sighthounds, the Rajapalayam is an Indian sighthound, you may look it up on its wikipedia page.
i added the pov tag
[edit]The article is written mainly for readers interested in showing dogs. Worse, there isn't context provided for readers who can't imagine this point of view. Best wishes,Rich Peterson75.45.97.146 (talk) 06:58, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Strange comment. The page certainly could be improved. However, it appears to me that most of the content refers to the original function of the sighthound, not to the showing of sighthounds. If you would like to initiate a dispute it would only be fair of you to defend your point of view in a more substantial way than the above, or make some significant contribution to the page which would rectify your perception of its lack of neutrality. Otherwise I can only presume "i added the pov tag" is a form of vandalism.--Richard Hawkins (talk) 14:37, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- whoa dude. assume good faith.Strange presumption.75.45.106.99 (talk) 01:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- I needed to step back for an hour. I now realize I should not have responded to you as "dude', and maybe not have said "assume good faith", according to WP:Good faith. I didn't mean to step on your toes, I'm sure you've put a lot of work into this article. I do think quite a bit of the article is related to Kennel societies, which in my mind were (possibly wrongly)the same as dog show clubs.Perhaps I have a lot to learn.But kennel societies are rather alien to my point of view, which (was)my point.So from your point of view, I made a strange comment, and from my point of view, since I put my name to the comment, it's strange to presume it's vandalism.

no mention of greyhound being considered the "prototypical" sighthound
[edit]Just a thought - but, the greyhound is considered to be THE prototypical sighthound from which others are assumed to have decended. Perhaps that's worth mentioning 143.159.94.184 (talk) 14:09, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- By whom and on what evidence?
- There is currently no zooarchaeological or genetic evidence that "the Greyhound" gave rise to "the Saluki" or vice versa, etc. Richard Hawkins (talk) 15:57, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Where does the Pharaoh Hound belong?
[edit]Uniquely on this page, the Pharaoh Hound is listed in both the "List of sighthound breeds", AND under "Breeds considered to be controversial, not having by origin a sighthound function".
Looking at the Pharoah dog's page, it appears to hunt by scent, rather than sight. It's described as a "Warren hound", and is listed on that page, and in that category.
Should it even appear on the Sighthounds page? Dferstat (talk) 00:51, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
