Breed Overview
Originating in Russia, the Borzoi has been around for hundreds of years with the first standard for the breed written in the 1600s. This hound dog was originally used for hunting wolves. They are quiet, calm, and well-mannered pets. The Borzoi is reserved with strangers and does well with experienced dog handlers or families with older children. Outdoors, they are lively and require daily exercise and the chance to run each week. The coat, that tends to be thicker on males, needs brushing two to three times per week.
