Spanish term

perros de rehala

Spanish to English Science Livestock / Animal Husbandry Traducción de un artículo sobre leptospirosis canina
En este artículo aparece este término pero no encuentro ningún término equivalente en inglés. Supongo que es otra forma de decir caza mayor. En fin aquí va el contexto y gracias por adelantado por vuestra ayuda:

Los perros machos, procedentes de criaderos, tenían un riesgo superior a los perros de rehala (caza mayor), perros urbanos y perros procedentes de sociedades protectoras de animales.

Discussion

Kenneth Shockley Dec 14, 2009:
I agree, of course, that "manada de perros" is a pack of dogs, but in this context, it didn't seem necessary to me to actually use the word "pack". However, I suppose that would depend on how you would arrange the entire sentence. :-)

Or big game hunting dogs. But I don't see it as really necessary to use "hunting", that should be obvious.

Basically, the references to "caza mayor" (and not simply "caza" in general) are what makes me want to include "big game".

It's like boathouse vs houseboat:
Dog pack = una manada de perros
Pack dog = un perro de (una) manada
