Description: The large island of Sicily, located at the toe of Italy, is the major home of the Cirneco. In more ancient times the breed also was known further north on Corsica, and the Greek name for that latter island, Cyrnecos, may have contributed to his name. Mount Etna, the 10,000-foot active volcano on Sicily's eastern side, provides the other portion of his name. The roots and history of this breed are the same as the Pharaoh's and the Ibizan's, repeated on a different island. In fact, in times past the Cirneco was also called the Pharaoh Dog, due to its identical taproots in Egypt. Group: Sporting Use or Role: Rtrieving trials, spaniel trials NORMAL SIZE:
