Some interesting looking dogs there - are some of the ones that look like large borzoi/saluki lurchers actually Chortaj?

Russian Chortaj

Yes - I think it is Chortaja Borzoya.. Russian shorthaired sighthound - used for hunting until these days. A friend of mine imported one to Slovakia - here is the site of Gajde

Nice to see some people still have the freedom to use their dogs as nature intended , unlike this joke of a country that we live in. Great looking dogs by the way , they look very Saluki-like
