History
Chortaj
The Chortaj is a greyhound of Asian origin, an ancient breed (In zoological nomenclature, the breed is a taxonomic rank lower than the species…).
Its geographical area is in the steppes to the north (North is a cardinal point, opposite to south.) of the Black Sea (The Black Sea is a sea located between Europe and Anatolia. It is about .. .), a region that stretches from Ukraine to the south (South is a cardinal point, opposite to North.) from Russia to the west (West is a cardinal point, opposite to East.

It is therefore not possible to attribute to this race a people (The term people adopts different meanings depending on the point of view where one places oneself.) or a country (Country comes from the Latin pagus which designated a territorial subdivision and tribal in scope…).
The Russian Cynological Federation (RKF) set the first breed standard in 1951.
Currently, 2,500 to 3,500 Chortaj are recorded worldwide, with less than a dozen outside the boundaries of the CIS.
Care and health
The life expectancy of the Chortaj largely depends on its use.
In areas where they hunt large prey, especially predators, it is not uncommon for young greyhounds to die during the hunt.
But without this type of hunting, the Chortaj can very well live healthy for up to 14-15 years.
