Start with the Spanish region
The entries identify Spain as the country of origin. Some also name a region, such as Galicia, Navarre, the Basque Country or the Canary Islands.
Use those details to compare the background recorded for breeds such as the Basque Shepherd Dog, Can de Palleiro, Pachón Navarro and Podenco Canario.
Compare the recorded type
The list includes shepherd, sighthound, warren hound, pointer, hunting, ratting and bulldog or alaunt types.
A Galgo Español is described as a sighthound bred for coursing hare and other game. Other entries describe their type or working background in their summaries.
Read the listed figures
Where Wikidata records a height, weight or life expectancy, it appears with the entry. For example, the listed height figures are 60 for Galgo Español and 53 for Podenco Canario.
A missing figure is simply not shown here. Compare the available entries without filling gaps with assumptions.
Breed lists are arranged A to Z. They are not ranked and have no paid places.
Software lists use Animalso’s own score from each maker’s pages, considering published prices, a free plan or trial, iPhone and Android apps, self-booking, reminders and owner messages, animal records, documentation, page recency and the research order as a tie-breaker. Some numbered places at the top of a software list can be bought.
