Which dog breed originated further east, the Cão Fila de São Miguel or the Saluki?
Cão Fila de São Miguel The Cão Fila de São Miguel (Portuguese: ] ) (frequently translated into English as the "São Miguel Cattle Dog" or "Cattle Dog of São Miguel Island", but other names, such as "Azores Cattle Dog", may be used) is a dog breed of molosser type originating on São Miguel Island in the Azores, an island chain which is one of the autonomous regions of Portugal. The breed was originally used for working with cattle.
Field Spaniel The Field Spaniel is a medium-sized breed dog of the spaniel type. They were originally developed to be all-black show dogs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were unpopular for work as a hunting dog. However, during the mid-20th century they were redeveloped as a longer-legged dog that was more suitable to be used for field work. They are now considered to be a rare breed, and are registered as a Vulnerable Native Breed by The Kennel Club.
