I plan to import my next dog and it will be either a Taigan, Kurdish Saluki or a Kazakh Tazi. The coat does make the Taigan appeal to me for my type of hunting and the climate here, they are not as fast as Salukis or KazakhTazi, however they are extremely robust.

I'd love to go to Kyrgyzstan one day to hunt with Taigans if ever I can afford to. I was offered a Taigan pup from Estonia about 5/6 years back and I really regret not taking it now. By pure coincidence the Taigan that I heard might be coming to Scotland is the very same dog I was offered as a pup. :blink:
