Description of a Tasy.

The Tasy is seen in the deserts along the Caspian Sea where he chases hare, fox, marmot, some hooved game and even wolf. Although the Tasy is a sighthound, he also has a sharp sense of smell. These dogs were very special and in the past have actually kept their owners from starvation. Though progress has brought the breed to near extinction, a few individuals are working to prevent this from happening.

The Tasy should have a human companion who can appreciate his traits, strong will, and life-sacrificing courage.

Height - 22 to 28 inches (56 to 71cm).

Coat type - silky yet protective with heavy fringe on the ears, tail and legs. Color - tan, black and tan, or grey.
