Which dog breed originated further east, the Cão Fila de São Miguel or the Saluki?
Saluki The Saluki, also known as Persian Greyhound, is a dog originally bred in the Fertile Crescent. The Saluki is classed as a sighthound and is typically deep-chested and long-legged. Salukis are "sight" hounds—hunting by sight—and run their quarry down to kill or retrieve it. Historically, Salukis were used for hunting by nomadic tribes. Typical quarry included the gazelle, hare, fox and jackal.
Mujina Mujina (貉 ) is an old Japanese term primarily referring to the Japanese badger. In some regions the term refers instead to the raccoon dog (also called "tanuki") or to introduced civets. Adding to the confusion, in some regions badger-like animals are also known as "mami", and in one part of Tochigi Prefecture badgers are referred to as "tanuki" and raccoon dogs are referred to as "mujina".
