Greyhound breed\u2019s origin is contradictory. Cynologists have long debated who is the ancestor of the modern Polish Borzoi. Some researchers suggest that the Polish Greyhound descended from the Asian Borzoi. Others believe that the Russian Greyhound breed was a relative of the Polish Borzoi. It was claimed by the Russian zoologist Leonid Sabaniezhev. However, this is impossible because the hound greyhounds were first mentioned in Tsar Ivan the Terrible reign in the sixteenth century. Polish Greyhound is mentioned in the XIII century\u2019s chronicles three centuries earlier than the hound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1823, a magazine was published in Warsaw describing the differences between the Polish, Scottish, and Turkish Greyhound. At that time, the dog was bred for hunting wolves, deer, hares, and foxes. The Polish Greyhound was originally a favorite of the royal family and the aristocracy. The common people could not own these dogs until after World War II. Many dogs, including Polish greyhounds, became homeless, and peasants picked them up and sheltered them. The fate decided otherwise \u2013 in 1946, the Polish government issued a decree banning hunting with greyhounds. The dogs could no longer perform their main hunting function and were no longer needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cynologist Stanislav Czerniakowski came to the rescue of the Polish Greyhound as a species in 1970. To renew the breed, he used the blood of the remaining Polish Borzoi and Russian Hortoi Borzoi. The International Cynology Association recognized the Polish Greyhound only in 1989.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"appearance\">Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Polish Greyhound is the least graceful representative of the greyhound. Judging by the dog\u2019s massive skeleton, one can get the impression that the dog is heavy and massive. It is not entirely true because the purpose of the Polish Greyhound is to chase prey. Strong muscular limbs, especially hindquarters, allow the dog to develop great speed. The back is straight, and the abdomen is taut. The chest is massive, accommodating large lungs and hearts. The Polish Greyhound\u2019s coat is stiff, and the skin is thick \u2013 this helps to avoid injuries in the hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dog\u2019s head is elongated, wedge-shaped. Powerful jaws will hammer even large prey. Expressive eyes are almond-shaped, mostly dark in color. The ears are drooping, pulled back.
