The best stepwise regression model to predict the bodyweight was obtained for 7 out of 24 dimensions with 88.04 % R 2 and mean value of Cp (-3.9070). Significant positive correlations were found among body weight and body dimensions at different ages, and all correlations among weights with body dimensions were significantly positive correlation except the correlation between ear length with chest wide and back length. The aged male Pishdar dog that raised in Qala-Diza geographical region gave significantly higher weight and body dimensions compared with other groups. The results found a significant effect of sex, geographical location and age on the dog's body weight and most of the body dimensions. Data were subjected to SAS programs (ANOVA) to determine the effects of sex, location, and age of Pishdar dog on its body weight and dimensions. The mean body weight was 73.50 ☑3.33 kg/dog. About 74 selected dogs were used in this study. The study was done to determine the genetic evaluation and effects of some factors on body weight and dimensions for Pishdar dogs, which are specified in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Black, dun, and grey colours are the most common body coat colours. It can be concluded that Turkish Tazis reach the mature body weight and size around 2 years of age. 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. 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.

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.
