Meet Hungary's nearly extinct Majzli

With fewer than 50 Majzli in existence...we see (below) Hungary's stately hairless breed. Presenting a phenotype much like the hairless dogs indigenous to our continent (the Xolo)...it is obvious that the hairless dogs share DNA from much farther back than the days of the Magyar rule. The trade routes which, reveal themselves in an adornment of interesting dog breeds that decorate continents in a great lattice of woof...from the silk road....to prosperous maritime trade routes availed all sorts to pop up & perpetuate when they might have otherwise stayed rather regional. I'm fascinated.

The Xolo is our continent's indigenous dog & has been known to have existed in it's present format (more or less) for 3,000 years....it is not too far out of line to imagine a hairless specimen traveling to Hungary....but who knows? 

Also called "Magyar Kopasz Kutya" & "Swabian Puli", I hope you find this breed as interesting as I do.

Note the format of the race above...compared with the Hungarian Sinka below...
