Cirneco dell'Etna

Think of a pocket-sized Pharaoh Hound shaped by the lava fields around Mount Etna in Sicily. At roughly 8 to 12 kilograms, with a short, close coat and a long muzzle, it gives owners in smaller homes the same heat-shedding hound build in a dog that is easy to carry into shade. It is rare in the US, so expect to search for a breeder and wait for a litter.
