Hunting Dogs Tribute

When hunting, people of all races were assisted by hunting dogs of every breed. The past centuries witnessed this fact in the countries of Asia and Egypt, and the situation was the same in Greece and later on in Rome; the latter countries will be discussed in the next chapter.
The vital role that the hunting dogs played in providing food for humans is evidenced by a story written in 1962 B.C. by Sinuhet, an Egyptian nobleman, prince, judge and a regional custodian of the sovereign´s estates in an Asian country. In a report on Syria and Palestine, Sinuhet expresses his utmost satisfaction, saying:"the King made me a chieftain of a selected tribe living in his country. The tribesmen daily provided me with pastry and wine, and apart from the game of the desert they gave me boiled meat and baked birds. They hunted animals for me and presented me with their catch in addition to the food brought in by the hunting dogs." Sinuhet´s narrative from the depth of almost 40 centuries testifies to the fact that the ancient people valued a hunting dog high above its fighting or "combat" counterpart, in stark contrast to the opinions expressed by many contemporary authors of canine literature!

Since the day we tamed a wild wolf and started breeding the wolf in many different domestic dog breeds, a good dog has always been the most important part of hunter's gear. When hunting animals is done for a sport of middleaged rednecks, it's not cool or anything, it only sucks ass. But when it's done by poor tribal people who hunt only to feed their families, it's really a cool and a good thing. The dogs are only doing what their ancient instincts tell them to do and they love it. Dogs need to be dogs.

@DogSoldier011 All dogs are mix breeds after all, some mixes are just more common and more predictible than others. Mix breeds have better health but many times they may look rather weird if they are a mix of two breeds that just dont fit together.. but there are also amazingly beautiful mix breeds that look much cooler than pure breeds and there are many same breed dog in your hometown :) Ofcourse, when it comes to hunting, the look of the dog makes no difference, but qualities and abilities.

@AuzzieGamer1 bull arab's are great some breeders often corss them with mastiffs to make them heavy. but slow.bull arabs hunters that are short and stocky & a little heavy do just fine in hunting,

wow. this is lame. you talk crap about rednecks with guns but show caged animals being attacked by dogs? your trying to take a stance on something but have no clear lines drawn. i agree with you about the awsomeness of hunting dogs but not really sure what kind of other crappy point your trying to get across. and basically ALL dogs are mixed breeds. even so called pure breds. they have all been mixed to acheive a look invisioned by the breeder.

@MrSurfmaniac - I agree!!! And get ride of the RR lure coursing. Get rid of all the pig dogs with body armor.  If a dog can't hunt natural then don't use it. Get rid of pig and cougar being attacked in a caged area. NOT HUNTING.

@2012IrishMan when i was younger there was no more loyal, ferocious and dependable guard dog than an Akita..they were fearsome too, but great with their owners of course. Believe they used them on bears in Japan . Rarely see them 'downunder' now and the ones that are here bear little resemblance to the big boys of the 80's
