The Cirneco dell'Etna is a primitive breed, bred in Sicily for thousands of years. Originally bred for hunting purposes, this middle-sized, smooth-coated sighthound-like dog that will be your companion also for dog shows, agility, sighthound's lure coursing and track racing competitions. The first Cirneco was imported to Finland in 1992 and nowadays we have ca. 45 of them here in Finland.
