	The Southern Sighthounds
		I am deeply indebted to the sighthound owners who took the time to share their insights and experiences with her and whose comments have been the primary source of the section on disposition and behavior.
		Sighthound owners who enjoy coursing or racing their dogs are capitalizing on that same chase instinct.
		Sighthound owners would all benefit from Alderman’s advice to remember that their dogs are very much "hounds with a strong prey drive and the instinct to give chase whenever presented with the opportunity." Thus, at home secure fencing – high enough to prevent jumping and deep enough to prevent digging under – is a must.

		Sighthounds are touch-sensitive, tending to startle when touched unexpectedly or grabbed for a hug, so a verbal correction is less upsetting and distracting than a physical one."

		In addition to our regular sighthound workouts, we include dogs of any and all descriptions whose owners may wish to enjoy a morning out with their canine companions.

	American Sighthound Field Association - The Sport of Lure Coursing
		Lure coursing is a performance event developed in the early 70's by Lyle Gillette and other California sighthound fanciers who hunted jackrabbits in the open field, which risked the harm caused by barbed wire fencing.
		They invented lure coursing as a safer, more controlled sport for sighthounds that would recreate the physical requirements of open field coursing, allowing them to continue testing the functional abilities of their sighthounds.
		In 1972, they started the American Sighthound Field Association (ASFA) and invited other sighthound fanciers from across the nation to join the organization, with its democratic structure and centralized method of keeping hound records.

	deviantART: sighthound-fans
		Sighthounds are some of the oldest breeds of dogs known to history.
		At the present day, sighthounds enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle, although they still retain their ancestors' age-old instinct of chasing anything that moves quickly.
		Games and sports such as lure coursing are favourites and allow the dogs to exercise their hunting instincts without hurting anyone or anything....well, for the most part.

		Magyar Agar, or Hungarian Sighthound, is a cousin of the Greyhound.

		For centuries the "Agars" of Asian steppe followed the Hungarian on their travel to the west until they, at the 9th century, settled on the banks of Donau.

	American Whippet Club Home Page
		The Whippet is a medium-sized member of the sighthound family, and is very similar in appearance to the Greyhound, only smaller.
		However, as premier canine athletes, they require short periods of vigorous exercise almost daily, and do best where they can either run in a safely fenced yard, or be taken on leash to a secure park or field for play sessions with balls and frisbees.
		Whippets, like all other sighthounds, are visually oriented and love to chase objects (like rabbits and squirrels) which they may see at a distance.
