[4]Documented in Poland for centuries
The FCI standard says the Chart Polski is documented in Poland from the 13th century. It describes descent from Asiatic Saluki-type sighthounds as probable rather than certain.
[1]A powerful, large sighthound
Among short-haired sighthounds, the Chart Polski is especially large, muscular and powerful. It should still look athletic rather than heavy or lethargic, retaining the build of a fast hunting dog.
[1]A hunter of varied game
The FCI standard lists hunting hare, fox, roe deer, bustard and wolf among its uses. As a sighthound, it combines a powerful build with the speed needed to pursue game.
[2]A traditional Polish hunting hound
The FCI standard records the breed in Poland from the 13th century and describes its use for hunting hare, fox, roe deer, bustard and wolf.
[1]A powerful sighthound
The standard describes a large, muscular and powerful dog. Compared with other short-haired sighthounds, it has a stronger, more substantial build.
[1]A hard, resilient coat
The springy coat is rather harsh, neither wire-haired nor silky. Hair is shortest on the sternum and legs and longer on the buttocks and beneath the tail, forming modest breeches and a brush. FCI accepts all colours; lighter blue or beige coats may have a matching nose colour.
