Yes I've heard of them all except the last one in the second post. I did a report on the Portugese Pointing Dog on PowerPoint once.

Do you mean Austrian Pinscher? I've never heard it called a short-haired pinscher. The swedish dachsbrake (drever) is one of my fav. hounds.

The "Arabian Sighthound/Greyhound" is also known by the more common name Sloughi. I am told by Sloughi fanciers that you pronounce it: slew-gee ("g" as in gorilla). If you say it quick enough, Sloughi begins to sound like Saluki which contributes to a whole 'nother controversy LOL. The Azawakh is an African sighthound, I do believe. I don't know one personally, but the lady who makes Giselle's collar donated a martingale to an Azawakh specialty dog show, and I'm told the dog who won was SO noble and gentle. So to answer your question, yes, I have heard of the Azawakh and Sloughi :p
