Before standards, there was observation.

In 1897, the Sicilian physician Mario Silla Migneco published one of the first studies on the Cirneco.

Today we know his name, his story, his time.
But what truly remains is the way he looked at the dog.

For what it is, for what it does, for what it has been.

Before definitions, before simplifications, there was this.

Prima degli standard, c’era l’osservazione.

Nel 1897, il medico siciliano Mario Silla Migneco pubblica uno dei primi studi sul Cirneco.

Oggi conosciamo il suo nome, la sua storia, il suo tempo.
Ma ciò che conta davvero è il modo in cui guardava il cane.

Per ciò che è, per ciò che fa, per ciò che è stato.

Prima delle definizioni, prima delle semplificazioni, c’era questo.

Between the 18th and 19th centuries, these dogs spread widely across rural Uruguay, becoming a serious concern for farmers and settlers.

Large packs attacked livestock and, in some cases, people. Authorities responded with systematic culling campaigns, well documented in historical sources.

Despite this, some groups survived in more isolated regions, where they were gradually reintroduced and selectively bred.

The modern breed emerges from this tension between human control and natural adaptation.

Coltivare cultura cinofila, in fondo, significa scegliere il futuro.
Ogni razza ha una storia, una funzione, un carattere.
E capirlo cambia il modo in cui guardiamo i cani: non più qualcosa da scegliere, ma qualcosa da conoscere e rispettare.
Per questo crediamo sia importante parlarne ai più giovani.
Prima della moda, prima degli slogan, prima delle scorciatoie.
Perché i cani non sono oggetti.
E quelli che vivono con noi sono, a tutti gli effetti, famiglia.
Con Il Levriero di Don Chisciotte e La Dinastia dei Musi Lunghi proviamo ad accompagnare bambini e ragazzi in questo percorso: prima la conoscenza, poi l’affetto.
Prima il rispetto, poi tutto il resto.

The Uruguayan Cimarrón originates from dogs introduced during Spanish colonization and later left to live freely, adapting to harsh environments and developing independently.

The term “cimarrón” refers to what returns to a wild state after domestication. It is not just a name, but a definition of origin and process.

The modern breed preserves this layered history: a dog shaped by selection, but also by adaptation and survival.

A well proportioned, dryly muscled and clean-cut dog, whose body shows power and also the ability to
develop the necessary speed for a gundog. The head is slightly wedge-shaped. The muzzle is a little shorter than the length of the skull and rather dry, without hanging lips.

The coat, though not really long on the body, looks like a long coat because of the well feathered ears and somewhat thicker fur on the neck and chest, the feathered front and hind legs, and the longhaired, bushy tail, gives the impression of a long coat.

In 2020, a short note published on twogreyhounds.com set the tone for a project that grew quietly over the following years.

From that starting point comes The Stillness Before the Run,
a volume that moves through texts, images, and traditions where sighthounds appear, between literature and myth.

Not a book that resolves, but one that observes.
Not a definitive synthesis, but a collection of traces.

Verses, similes, fragments: recurring presences, quiet yet persistent.

The method remains restrained, sources are stated, and interpretation is limited to what the texts allow.

Nel 2020, una breve nota pubblicata su twogreyhounds.com ha dato il tono a un lavoro cresciuto negli anni in modo silenzioso.

Da quel punto di partenza nasce La quiete prima della corsa,
un volume che attraversa testi, immagini e tradizioni in cui i levrieri compaiono, tra letteratura e mito.

Non un libro che risolve, ma che osserva.
Non una sintesi definitiva, ma una raccolta di tracce.

Versi, similitudini, frammenti:
presenze che ritornano, con costanza discreta.

Il metodo resta sobrio, le fonti dichiarate,
le interpretazioni limitate a ciò che i testi consentono.

For centuries, the Drentsche Patrijshond remained an undocumented rural type, preserved in the province of Drenthe without formal standardization.

It was only in 1943 that the breed was officially recognized by the Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied, with a standard later adopted by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.

The breed was subsequently recognized internationally, including by the United Kennel Club and, from 2010, within the Foundation Stock Service of the American Kennel Club.

Over time, the borzoi has followed a complex path of evolution, shaped by regional variations and deliberate crossings.

The early borzoi was defined by lightness and grace — a dog built for speed, precision, and open-ground hunting.

As time passed, interaction with other sighthounds introduced greater strength and endurance, expanding the breed’s adaptability.

From this transformation, two distinct types emerged:
a more modern one, structured and powerful,
and an older one, still rooted in its original elegance.

Two different expressions of the same essence.

This is one of the themes explored in 'The Imperial Borzoi'.
