International Recognition for Kazakh Tazy Dog

-

Astana, 7 September 2024 (TDI): The Kazakh Tazy, one of the world’s oldest dog breeds, is now on the path to receiving international recognition.

The General Committee of the International Cynological Federation (FCI) has approved the preliminary recognition of the Kazakh Tazy as a unique breed.

This decision designates Kazakhstan as the holder of the breed standard, marking a significant milestone towards global recognition.

Over the next ten years, data will be collected on the health, characteristics, and registration of Tazy puppies.

This information will be submitted to the FCI for further review to achieve full recognition.

Since 2022, the Presidential Affairs Department (PAD) of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been actively working to preserve Kazakh dog breeds through scientific research, exhibitions, and legislative amendments.

In August 2023, the Union of Cynologists of Kazakhstan met all the requirements to become a full member of the FCI, allowing the Kazakh Tazy to be declared a national breed.

Kazakh Tazy

The Kazakh Tazy originated over four thousand years ago and is noted for its genetic diversity, particularly in Kazakhstan’s southern and eastern regions.

Known for its remarkable endurance, ability to withstand the harsh Central Asian climate, and hunting prowess, the Tazy has been an integral part of the nomadic people’s lives for centuries, hunting hares, wolves, and other animals.
