Kazakh Tazy is a breed of sighthound hunting dog originating from Kazakhstan.[1][2][3] Though it looks similar to the Saluki sighthound, it is a related but different dog breed.[4]
Tazys are used in Kazakhstan primarily for hunting and are considered one of the oldest dog breeds in the world.[5] Tazys are recognized by International Canine Federation,[6] but are not recognized by American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club nor Canadian Kennel Club.[7] Presently, there are barely 300 purebred dogs and the Kazakhstan government is trying to prevent the dog from becoming extinct.[5][7]
