Kazakh Tazy

Kazakh Tazy is a hunting greyhounds used to be the main wealth of Kazakhs. Since the second half of the last century their number began decreasing. Today there are not more than 300 of real tazy, like “300 spartans”. Kazakh Tazy is a purely Kazakh breed that has been bred all over the country for many years. Tazy are neat dogs – when they eat no drop is spilled. Nomads respected them so much to let them in their houses. The dogs are not fastidious in eating. An adult dog needs 0,5 kg of meat daily. Bread and water aren’t enough.The dogs need comfort, warmth and cleanness, so special devices control the temperature in their place. Kazakh Tazy usually hunt foxes.  These dogs can run at speed 80km/h.
