The Levriero Sardo or Cani de lèpori is one of the rarest breeds of dogs in Italy, with only 100 specimens existing with a few breeders dedicated to the breed. The breed is very old: it is believed that these dogs were taken to the island by phoenician traders. There are two bloodlines: one characterized by a light brown coat, and the other by a black coat. This is a sighthound used to hunt hare which stands 58 to 62 cms to the withers and weighs 18 to 22 kgs.
