About The Breed

The Borzoi, also known as the Russian Wolfhound, is a graceful and elegant breed originally bred for hunting large game, including wolves, in Russia. With its long, silky coat and refined, slender build, the Borzoi is known for its speed, stamina, and majestic appearance. This breed is calm, independent, and reserved, yet affectionate and gentle with its family. While it can be aloof with strangers, it is usually friendly and affectionate with its owners. Borzois are intelligent but may be independent-minded, making them somewhat challenging to train. The Borzoi enjoys moderate exercise, such as daily walks or runs in safe, enclosed areas, as it has a strong prey drive and should be kept on-leash or in a secure yard. Their smooth, elegant gait and dignified demeanor make them a striking companion, though their long coat requires regular grooming to prevent tangles and matting. The Borzoi is best suited for owners who can provide plenty of space and an active yet gentle lifestyle.
