Darginka is linebred to Dor Bairam :
Dor Bairam and Kir Sakar are completely apart from the current types. It was of the old line of CHOPAR KEL: type Alaman-At. Contrary to the modern criteria of the breeding which tend to make rectangular horses, one can say that the type Ak Sakal would be rather square… Nowadays the horses of the line have short and stable backs which make them ready to run long distances. It was proven that the nomads, before 1900, raised these horses with a very precise aim, to traverse long distances.
from the Akhal Stud
Darginka is built similar to her sire. She is a big, powerful mare of plain type. Although Darginka is of line Gelishikli, she is more directly influenced by lines of Dor Bairam and Kir Sakar.

From Turanian horse:
44 Dor Bairam is another Chopar Kel line stallion this time with a maternal connection to 2a Boinou and Kutli Sakar. He was of excellent size for his time and powerfully muscled, although he did have what the Russians call a “fleshy back.”
Dor Bairam was extensively bred in Turkmenistan, but most of his sons were sold to Kazakhstan to be used in breeding programs there. Like Kir Sakar, Dor Bairam turned out to be an exceptional broodmare sire.
From Akhal Stud:
The characteristics of the line are the purity, the very marked old standard, solid health making them suited to the endurance and the trec.
