We are the group of specialists and
hunters, the veritable experts of the ancient endemic and aboriginal breed
of hunting dogs of the Kyrgyz borzoi, known as the taigan. We have created
the National Society of The Kyrgyz Taigan, whose task who is presevation
and revival of this celebrated breed. Our concerted efforts began in 1987,
from which time we have created a database of tribal population of the
taigan, primary and correspondent nurseries, as well as affirming the
standards of this breed. In the database, we have gathered data on every
taigan; namely the description (87 statutes) and the measurements (63
parameters), photographs and their origin. Our primary nursery is on the
shores of the majestic mountain lake, Issik-Kul - the pearl of Middle Asia.
The framework of correspondent nurseries consists of hunters,
falconers-berkutchis and other owners of taigans, who live in high
mountain regions. The standard on breed was accepted by the Cinologist
Council of Kyrgyz Republic, on December 6, 1995, and was adopted by the
Management of Hunting and Land-survey of the Kyrgyz Republic, by Order
Number 1,on February 1,1996. We are happy that the interest in this
unique and endemically breed does not subside. If you are interested in
further information, please contact us. We are happy to assist in your
research of the taigan.
