Tesem dogs were just generic hunting dogs in Ancient Egypt.
Classically, the Tesems were slightly larger basenji-type dogs.
And these dogs were the most common hunting dogs in Ancient Egypt until the New Kingdom ()1550-1069 BCE), when saluki-type dogs became the Tesem.
This image shows us that the harlequin and merle genes were around thousands of years ago.








You’re wrong. They’re dalmatians.
Scottie, you really need to post the one that some Daschund people use as proof that their breed was ‘with the Pharaohs’ as well (or is it the Basset people? I forget).
It’s Dachshunds.
I know, I need to :)
It also shows that the ancient egytians had giantic feet…….probably due to the so called “clown gene”
They also could only stand with their feet and heads pointing one way and their chests and arms pointing another.
