To this end, a data of 122 (60 male and 62 female) Tazi were analyzed with the Minitab 15 statistical software program using ANOVA and Student’s t- Test.

The dogs were aged between 5 months and 5 years, grouped according to their age as 0-12 months, 13-24 months, 25-36 months and 36-60 months. Measurements: Dogs were measured for live weight with a portable spring scale. Linear measures such as withers height (WH), height at rump (HR), body length Figure 2.

  • Polish Greyhound
    FEDERATION OF CYNOLOGY FOR EUROPE ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ ПО КИНОЛОГИЯ ЗА ЕВРОПА 01.10.1991/EN FCE-Standard № 10-333 POLISH GREYHOUND (Chart Polski) 2 TRANSLATION: Mrs.Peggy Davis. ORIGIN: Poland. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD: 01.10.1999. UTILIZATION: Hunting dog not only for hare, fox, roe-deer and bustard, but also for the wolf. FCЕ-CLASSIFICATION : Group 10 Sighthounds. Section 3 Short-haired Sighthounds. Without working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: The presence of the Chart Polski in Poland is attested since the 13th century; this breed goes probably back to Asiatic sighthounds of Saluki type. The Borzoi being unknown before the reign of Iwan the Terrible during the XVIth century, it is impossible, as claimed by the Russian author Sabaniejew, that the Chart Polski would be the result of interbreeding between the Greyhound and the Borzoi. The mention of the Chart Polski in the literature, especially the hunt-literature, is frequent and the iconographic representations are noticeably unvarying. This uniform general appearance in drawings and paintings proves, that, in spite of different interbreeding, the original aspect of the breed has remained unchanged up to the end of the XIXth century. GENERAL APPEARANCE: The Polish Greyhound is a dog of great size, powerful, muscular, definitely stronger and less fine in shape than the other short-haired sighthounds (he must not, however, be heavy nor lethargic). In his appearance, he is similar to the Asiatic greyhound who is his ancestor. FCE-St. №10-333/01.01.1999 3 The strong frame, the short coupled body, the distinctly visible musculature and the powerful jaws show that this dog has been used for hunting in the difficult conditions of the Polish climate.

  • World Dog Show & German Winner Show 8. – 12
    TOP PARTNER WORLD DOG SHOW & GERMAN WINNER SHOW 8. – 12. NOVEMBER 2017 at Leipziger Messe PREMIUM PARTNER MEDIAPARTNER 2 Welcome to the World Dog Show 2017 We are pleased that the FCI has given the VDH the honorable and ambitious task of hosting the World Dog Show 2017. The World Dog Show will take place in Leipzig from 9 to 12 November 2017 and be the seventh World Dog show held in Germany (1935, 1956, 1973, 1981, 1991, 2003 and 2017). The day before the World Dog Show, the VDH will hold the German Winner Show on 8 November 2017 in the same location and not in August as originally planned. The VDH is happy to stage the World Dog Show at one of the largest and most modern exhibition sites in Europe - the Leipzig Trade Fair. Leipzig lies in the heart of Europe and offers outstanding transport services with an excellent motorway network. Leipzig-Halle airport is just a few kilometres from the exhibition grounds and its own local railway station provides a direct connection to the Leipzig main railway station. As a city of culture, Leipzig is itself also a touristic highlight. Barely any other city boasts such a great tradition of music as Leipzig. Names such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy or Richard Wagner are inextricably associated with Leipzig. In the historical city centre the unique arcades and trading courts, the modern shops and the railway station mall are a real treat for those wanting to shop or those who enjoy a wander around. Leipzig has become well established as a host venue for dog shows over the decades and enjoys an excellent reputation among exhibitors.
