I was offered a pup from a breeder in Estonia a few years back but I was not in a position to take it, I so wish I had taken it now. The most annoying thing is that there were some brought back to the uk with soldiers returning from the wars. They seem to of just disapeared, nevering being bred. Regards Mark

I think there would be other aspects of hunting I would like to try these with that I wouldn't be so keen to involve my Salukis in. :ph43r: I don't know how they would do on hare though as they aren't typically used on hare over there. They are said to be not as fast as Salukis but I still think they will be fast enough for me. I'm pretty much set on one for my next dog if I can bring one in via the Pet Passport Scheme. The Almaz pictured in many of the 'article' photo's is the man I met in Kazakhstan he hunts Ibex with Taigan, I discussed hunting in scotland with him and from what I said he thought Taigans would be well suited.
