I do love sighthounds.  We used to take ours to lure trials.  Both the
borzoi and greyhound were field champions.  The whippet did less well, but
some of them are wonderful.   I like just about all of them:  Ibizen,
Pharoah Hound, Saluki.  I would love to have a Saluki, although at the
trials they were inclined to be hard to re-call.  It was actually pretty
funny, you would see Saluki handlers launching themselves at their dogs
trying to catch them.  The dogs compete without collars.  I also like the
looks and temerment of the Scottish deerhound.

But then my mother swears I sat down with the AKC book as a child and said I
wanted one of each.  We've worked our way through a small section of the
book.  We keep finding breeds we like and getting more of same.
