About TAZI HOUND

...

Tazy (Tazi) √ for non-specialists it is a natural Saluki from middle Asian area. Their population is beginning from the Volga-river and goes far to the West to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. At the 70th years there were about 4 different types of Tazy, now thanks to crazy political and economical situation the breeding is in very dangerous position. The biggest problem is: now the home breeding areas of Tazy are politically separated and the kennel clubs are in a state of war about ⌠Where is the mother country of Tazy■. Russia has small breeding centers in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
