Hunting Dog (Felids) ：ウィキペディア英語版

Hunting Dog (Felids)
Hunting Dogs (Felids) refers to those few hunting dogs which are used primarily to aid in hunting large felids (members of the cat family), typically lions in the Old World and cougars in the New World. A pack may be used to track the animal and keep it at bay, which combines giving voice to the sound known as ‘’baying’’ and surrounding and confining the animal or they may be expected to engage the animal in combat and seize it, in the manner of the catch dogs used in boar hunting, until the huntsmen have an opportunity to dispatch it. Because of this dual function, such dogs are often among the largest of all hunting dogs, and typically are of essentially Molosser type.
==Lion hunters==

It is thought that in ancient times Assyrian mastiffs were used to hunt Lions and in Roman times mastiffs from Britain were put into combat against them. In the quotation, “...deemed worthy to enter the Roman amphitheatre and in the presence of the masters of the world, encounter the pard and assail even the lord of the savage tribes, whose courage was sublimed by torrid suns, and found none gallant enough to oppose him on the deserts of Zaara or the plains of Numidia.",〔''Cynographia Britannica'', (1800) Sydenham Edwards , London: C. Whittingham〕 the “lord of the savage tribes” is thought to refer to the lion. The practice of lion-baiting also occurred as late as the 19th century in England, using Old English Bulldogs and Staffordshire Bull Terriers.〔http://www.american-bulldog.com/how_a_lion.htm〕
The breed most associated with lion hunting is the Rhodesian Ridgeback,〔How to Raise & Train Rhodesian Ridgeback”, Frank C Lutman. TFH Publications, 1966, ISBN 0876663722/ ISBN 978-0-87666-372-1〕 an African breed whose history began in the 18th century, when the first European settlers bred their own dogs with dogs domesticated by Khoisan tribes that had a ridge of hair along their backs. Though the resulting dogs were undoubtably used to bay lions, the 2008 Rhodesian Ridgeback World Congress took the view that in its early use, the Ridgeback was more a "hunter's/farmer's ox-wagon dog" than a "lion dog”, and had a general guarding and hunting role, including the hunting of birds. They have also been used to hunt other felids such as cheetahs and leopards〔(National breed—South African dog ), ''Showdogs''〕
