The Magyar Agar look back on a long history.Combined with the migration of the riding nomad people,the Magyars,the ancestors of the Magyar Agar came from the Territory of the Ural.In the 9.century entered the Hungarian tribe under grand duke Arpad in the karpatregion and occupied the area of the pannonienpeople.The riding people brought sighthounds presumable with oriental influence and they mixed with the descendants of the “Vertragus” , which was the forefather of all occidental sighthounds.These dogs built the roots of the Magyar Agar.In Hungary sighthoundhunting was very popular,not only the privilege of aristocrat’s but it was also done by farmers and other ranks.This brought different types of the Magyar Agar during the last centuries. On one side was a larger type and on the other side a much smaller “Farmagar”, better known in Hungary as hare catcher. In the middle of the 19.century they totally forbid hunting after life hares. Through it the quantity of Magyar Agar decreased. Also the two world wars demand tribute, they had only a few on farms for hunting. During the sixties, people remembered the Magyar Agar . It was a troublesome search to find the last Magyar Agar. Since 1966 the Magyar Agar is ad missed by the F.C.I. .
