Many of the world’s diverse cultures claim a form of sighthound, and the Hungarians are no different (well, except that these are the folks that can follow you into a revolving door and come out ahead of you). The Magyar Agar, also known as the Hungarian Greyhound, was first mentioned in the writings of Count Arpad between AD 895 AD and 907. The breed that was developed to course hare was originally smaller than it is today, but interbreeding with other European Greyhounds during the 19th century increased its size.
The main difference between an Agar and an English Greyhound is that Agárs (or Agarok, in Hungarian) are longer in body than they are tall, and have a heavier bone structure. Their heads are more wedge-shaped, and shorter snouts give them a less refined look. They also have much thicker skin with a short, dense and smooth coat that is slightly longer during winter months.
