The Cretan Pathfinder exists for 4000 years. It comes from the hound dogs that they brought from Egypt the tradesmen of
Crete and the Palms (race) around 2000 years before Christ.
Concretely from a hunting race that existed there small, with up straight ears,
wriggle tail and wrinkles on the face similarly with the current African dog
Bazenzi that archaeologists named " Dogs of Heopa ".
Exist reports in Ancient Greek texts, but also archaeological discoveries that
testifies the existence of Cretan hound.
The statuette of Cretan dog that is found in museum of Heraklion as well as
and his representations from the Minoan Years.
The elements become fewer and the matter is being discussed again by various
sightseers in 17th, 18th and in the beginning of 19th century.
The last years householders of similar dogs as well as and dog fanciers were
addressed in the Dr St. Basurakos which with precise examination-study worked out the national morphological type of Cretan Pathfinder.
Today the Cretan Pathfinder has been recognized from the Group of Greece (KOE) and it is his member.
