I was reading a discussion about 'rare breeds' and i suddenly remembered the Cretan Hound, a recognised dog breed that is considered to be ancient.
some say that it may be related to the basenji (Crete is a Greek island in the meditteranean sea that had trading as well as other kinds of relations with ancient Egypt.)
Here is a link to a greek sight (sorry if it's only in the Greek Lg)
take a look! -

I wish It had an English version, i sent them an email to do that in future time. i think that through Google translator, you could succeed in understanding the general idea. It has many historical facts and results of some archaeological researches… I use the google translator for many sites in other lgs:
