History

The second part of the name of the breed relates to the area of the Etna volcano in Sicily, where it originated. The first part, word cirneco, derives from the Шаблон:Lang-la, related to Cyrenaica in North Africa, and in modern Italian is used for all the small hunting dogs of the Mediterranean islands, including Sicily, Malta and the Balearic Islands.Шаблон:R Genetic studies of the relationship of the Cirneco to other breeds have yielded conflicting results: one confirmed it to be close to the Kelb tal-Fenek of Malta and the Podenco Ibicenco of the Balearic Islands, but also linked it to the Pyrenean Mountain Dog;Шаблон:R another found evidence of gene flow from the Podenco Canario of the Canary Islands;Шаблон:R a genomic study in 2021 found it to be most closely related to the Kelb tal-Fenek and the Segugio Italiano.Шаблон:R It is often controversially claimed that the Cirneco dell'Etna is an ancient breed.Шаблон:R The earliest written description of the modern breed was by Maurizio Migneco, a veterinary surgeon from Adrano on the slopes of Etna, who published an account in Il Cacciatore Italiano in 1932. This was seen by a Sicilian noblewoman, Agata Paternó Castello, who bought some of the dogs and in 1934 started breeding them.Шаблон:R The breed was recognised by the Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana in 1939, based on a breed standard drawn up by Giuseppe Solaro of Turin.Шаблон:R The Cirneco was definitively accepted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale in 1956.Шаблон:R It is a rare breed; in the period from 2010 to 2018, new registrations in Italy were between about 100 and 150 per year.Шаблон:R Breed registration is conditional on successful completion of a working trial in this case a specific field trial.Шаблон:RШаблон:R
