The Chart Polski is also known as the Polish Greyhound. It is a strong,
noble, and athletic breed designed for the sole purpose of chasing down game
through the vast flat steppe lands of Poland. Though it is known as a greyhound
it would be in error to suggest that the breed was developed, related to, or
constructed from the common English Greyhound or the Russian Borzoi. This breed
was established and a part of daily Polish life as early as the 13th century and
predates the establishment of both the two aforesaid species of dog. It was
mentioned in writings of the Polish nobleman and scholar Hieronym Gostomski in
the early 15th century. Due to the hardships heaped upon the whole of Poland
during WWII the Chart Polski was rendered nearly extinct. Those that lived had
taken to the countryside and found ways to survive on their own. As of now there
are estimated to be less than 1,000 Chart Polskis in the world, the majority of
them in Poland itself. Due to the rarity of this breed it is often
misidentified.
