Abstract
This study was realized to define the distributions of body coat colour and body measurements of the Turkish Tazi (Sighthound) raised in province of Sanliurfa by comparing with some other sight hound breeds from different regions of Turkey and countries. For this aim a total 62 (33 male and 29 female) Tazi was analyzed with the Minitab 16 statistical software program using ANOVA and Students t-Test.

In this study the distributions of body coat color of the sampled Tazi, as percentages, for black was 32.2%, dun 21.0%, brown 8.1%, grey 25.8%, white 8.1% and pied 4.8% respectively.
