Abstract:
Sighthounds were once the primary hunting dogs, playing a central role in the hunt. According to the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), sighthounds belong to Group 10, divided into three sections: (1) long-haired or fringed, (2) rough-haired, and (3) short-haired dogs. This study focuses on the Kazakh Tazy, a sighthound breed officially recognized by the FCI on September 3, 2024. Morphometric measurements were conducted on 30 individuals, comprising 15 males and 15 females from the Tazy population. It is important to note that these results do not provide a comprehensive overview of the breed's population in Kazakhstan but can serve as indicative markers. The standards for recognized breeds include a wide range of morphometric traits, with WH (withers height), BL (body length), and CC (chest circumference) being among the most significant. This study examined 19 morphometric characteristics.
