How often should a Tazi be groomed?

About the Tazi
What makes the Tazi stand out among sighthounds? Originating from Central Asia, this breed has been around for over 4,000 years, prized for its speed and endurance. They come in many colors and patterns, from brindle to fawn, black, white, and gray. Their medium-short smooth coat feels sleek and lies close to the body. Tazis are independent and can be a bit reserved with strangers, but they’re affectionate with family. They’re built for running and hunting, so they need plenty of space to stretch their legs. Despite their athletic build, they’re surprisingly calm indoors and don’t bark much. Their average weight ranges from 44 to 77 pounds, making them a medium-large dog with a graceful, agile frame.
