Length measurements (head, face and ear) were obtained using an electronic calliper; width measurements (head, face and pinna) and circumference measurements (head, neck, chest, waist and front and rear shins) were taken using a measuring tape; and height measurements (withers and rump) were obtained using a measuring stick. IBM SPSS 22 was used for statistical analysis, and descriptive statistics of the groups were obtained. Student's t\u2010test was used for between\u2010group comparisons (gender), ANOVA for multiple\u2010group comparisons (age), and the Tukey test for post hoc analysis. The average measurements for face, ear, tail, head, neck, front and rear shins, body length, and height were compared, and significant differences (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05) were observed between the male and female dogs in the three groups. Significant differences in neck, waist and chest circumferences and chest width and depth were also observed (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05). The Kyrgyz Taigan is a medium\u2010sized dog breed in terms of body weight, is long\u2010headed (dolichocephalic), exhibits a rectangular body shape similar to other greyhound breeds, and has a rump and withers that are of similar heights. Compared with other greyhound breeds, the Kyrgyz Taigan has greater values for head length, withers and rump heights, chest circumference and chest depth.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/vms3.70409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,14]],"date-time":"2025-05-14T15:44:31Z","timestamp":1747237471000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Determination of Some Morphological Characteristics of the Kyrgyz Taigan Dog Breed"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7168-4014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hasan H\u00fcseyin","family":"Ar\u0131","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Kyrgyzstan\u2013Turkey Manas University  Bishkek Kyrgyzstan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7326-1768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abuzer","family":"Ta\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Van Yuzuncu Yil University  Van"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2965-7183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0130smail","family":"\u015een","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Kyrgyzstan\u2013Turkey Manas University  Bishkek Kyrgyzstan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7780-2982","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Metin","family":"Bayraktar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Firat University  Firat"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1429-2724","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mustafa","family":"Garip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Selcuk University  Konya"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-7110-6135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aziz","family":"Begaliev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Kyrgyzstan\u2013Turkey Manas University  Bishkek Kyrgyzstan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8211-6813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruslan","family":"Salykov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Kyrgyzstan\u2013Turkey Manas University  Bishkek Kyrgyzstan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"Anonymous2025.
