Dear members of PADS and readers of our Journal, In this issue of the Journal of PADS International we start publishing a series of articles presented at the Second International Conference of PADS, which took place from 7th to 9th of September, 2014 in China. The first article of this series is by Andrey Poyarkov. In subsequent issues, we will give you further details, including the program of the Conference and its resolution. In this issue, we also draw to your attention an article by Alberto Bertelli about Italian sighthounds and primitive dogs of the Mediterranean region. Both types of dogs derive from the oldest breeds of this ancient cultural center of the world. Their history is closely intertwined with the history of migrations and trade relations of peoples of different cultures in the region.
