There is not so much information about this little hound in Iran. Even most of the local and western people, do not know that this old breed extant in Iran. When I looked for old painting Tazis in Iranian miniatures, I fond in some of these documents that aside Tazis, Iranians were taking another dog to their hunting tribes. These dogs have medium size and hair, mostly with white, brown or two color coat, hanging down ears and long tail. For me, these drawings were the first step for looking after this breed in Iran of today, because all of these miniatures were from 16-18 centuries. When I completed the Tazi page with interviews of Iranian Tazi experts, Dr. Monica Dahnke told me that she saw some white little hounds in Kurdistan of Iran in many years ago (1977-8). Even Mr. Cyrus Sattarzadeh, another expert of Iranian Tazis, certified this view and added that this dog is called "Findo" by the local people of Kurdistan of Iran.

In February 2000 one of my friends asked about these dogs in Kurdistan of Iran and he was told that this breed still extant in Iran but they call it as "Tuleh Farangi" (it means foreign puppy) because the roots of this dog back somehow to old western imported dogs (may be from England) in this area. In some hunting articles I saw the name "Tuleh Englisi" (English Puppy) with Iranian hunters, but it's not sure that this dog is a western spaniel hound or just the same little Iranian Terriers. May be like other Iranian native dogs this breed has some different names by different local people in other towns of Iran too, but right now we know only about these dogs in the Kurdistan area of Iran.

In August 2002 we received another report from Sanandaj about a local hunter who breeds some Tazis and Findos in his village. According to one report there are two different kinds of "Findos" in Iran: The Smooth breed and the Long Coated breed. Both kinds are the same large. The large coated seems very much like the Miniature Spitz (LoLo) dogs. .
