What Is a Saluki Schipperke 9 Lhasa Apsos Basenji O i 0 "Wlr'-ii 1 "it Th.aiiyra ih.p. d.nnnn'n.p.fl.p.st. Anns iinn. p.iw.r saw' t by WALT CHANDOHA As a photographer who specializes in pets like the . dachshund on Family Weekly's cover, I some times tell myself, "I've seen just about everything when it comes to dogs." Then comes a dog I've never seen before nor even heard of. Not that they're new to the world: the saluki, pictured here with other rare breeds, was so loved by ancient Sumerians that they carved its picture on their walls some thou sands of years ago. But in our, country, at least, they're as rare as a dog lover without hair on his tweeds and, as a pet photographer, I have seen just about everything when it comes to dog lovers. SO , fj o 1. Schipperke, from Belgium, is a smaller cousin of the Belgian sheep dog. A fine household pet, his name in Flemish means "little captain." 2. Kuvasz. A Hungarian sheep dog that came originally from Tibet via the Middle East. Until shepherds acquired them, kuvaszes were the exclusive pets .and watchdogs of Hungarian kings. 3. Saluki. These keen-sighted and swift hounds are considered the oldest breed of domestic dog, strongly resem bling 8,000-year-old Persian carvings. 4. Lhasa Apsos. Another breed from Ti bet, his heavy coat of fur helps keep him warm in the frigid Himalayas. 5. Basenji. About the size of a fox terrier, the basenji came to Egypt from Central Africa. A voiceless dog, his bite is worse than his bark. COVER: The wistful-looking dachshund on today's cover owes his marvelously alive picture to the famed pet photographer Walt Chan doha, whose picture story on ususual dogs appears above. LEONARD S.
