Known also as the Kyrgyzdyn Taighany, the Taigan is a sighthound dog from Kyrgyzstan. Today the dog is recognized by a number of kennel clubs,and more recently by the FCI.
It was after 1991, when Kyrgyzstan became independent, that the role of the dog changed and t became a working dog again.

Description
The Yoranian is a toy breed, as are both its founding breeds. It checks in at only 7 pounds and stands only 6-10 inches tall. It can have medium or long fur in any combination of the parent’s colors including tan, black, blue or white. They have small ears that stand upright and erect, a small muzzle, medium tail and large round eyes. They can be long and slender like the Yorkshire Terrier or barrel shaped like the Pomeranian.
The Taigan is a large dog, looking much like a Grehound. He stands at between 55 and 82cm in height and weighs about 25 - 34kg.
He has that typical slender body and slender head of the greyhound. The coat of the dog is medium length and somewhat curly and can be many colours, sometimes even bi-colored – cream, black and white, brown, grey or yellow.
During the Winter the coat can become long and thick. The ears are floppy and covered with wavy fur. The tail is long and a distinguishing mark of the dog is the way the end of the tail coils up into a ring.
These dogs can’t be kept in small city properties – they are used to wide open spaces.
Temperament:
An intelligent breed, the Taigan will readily learn some basic commands to make him well mannered and obedient. He is strong willed and independent, so it will be beneficial to have him trained.
He also makes a good watchdog. He is an even-tempered dog and he enjoys human companionship although he is somewhat reserved with strangers. Even so, he will still need a strong, firm owner as he is strong-willed and independent and likes to go his own way.
He is able to get along well with children in the home and other pets. Being a fairly large dog, and one that likes to run, he is better suited to large properties in the countryside as opposed to living in the city.

Diet:
If you feed him one of the commercially manufactured dog foods, make sure its for a large, active dog breed and that it has a good list of ingredients. There are bad packaged dog foods and you want to avoid these. They are devoid of vitamins and minerals.
Read the packaging to see how much food to give. Also try and give your dog some home-made food too. Make sure it isn’t spicy, exotic foods. Stick to simple, wholesome foods such as boiled chicken, brown rice or pasta, sweet potatoes, spinach and carrots. Chop the food up and mix it into the dry kibble twice a week or so as a treat.
Also try and include some raw meat in occasionally.
Never leave your pet without a constant supply of fresh, cool water.
General Care:
Provide your pet with a dry, peaceful place to sleep.
Get him to the vet if he is showing signs of sickness.
Give him a good dose of exercise – walks, hikes, runs, ball games etc.
See that his vaccines are up to date.
Have him or her neutered or spayed to avoid unwanted puppies.
If you bring a dog into your family, provide it with love and attention.
