The average weight is 25 -35 kg, and at the withers it reaches up to 65 cm, representatives of this breed live up to 14-16 years. They are easily trained and are ideal hunting companions for hare and fox, during which they often suffer injuries in the chest cavity, and veterinarians face the difficult task of providing surgical care to such patients. Knowledge of the anatomical and topographic features of the arterial bed of the lungs is necessary when providing surgical care. During the formation of the functional activity of the body, the change in the diameter of the arterial bed is of particular interest. The purpose of the study was to study the arterial bed of the lungs of the Russian Hound breed in the age aspect, to give the arteries a morphometric characteristic. Three age groups of dogs were selected for the study: newborn puppies, puppies at the age of nine months, and mature dogs. Fine anatomical preparation, vasorentgenography, morphometry was chosen as research methods. During the study, morphometric data of such vessels as: pulmonary trunk, right and left pulmonary arteries, right and left bronchial arteries were obtained.
