Ive seen them before on Alan Gate's site with his picks from Kyrgistan,next to a hut and their jet black and i didnt know which breed they were before.
Yes they awesome sighthound, as you'll of seen on Alan Gate's site the terrain they hunt on is some of the most difficult any sighthound would be expected to run on, add to that the thin air altitude that course in plus some of the most dangerous game they hunt, wolves and even talk of snow leopard, there can be no room for any weakness!!!
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.
