Borzoi
The Borzoi’s history is in hunting, due to his excellent agility and speed. He loves to play chasing games – so be careful before placing him in the house with a pet cat or other small animals. If introduced as a puppy, the Borzoi will do well with other animals. This breed is dignified, loyal and sensitive. He is good with children, but due to his size, be careful with him around smaller children.
Your Borzoi is best placed in a home with a large backyard to run in. He needs to run daily, and enjoys long walks with his owner. This dog is tall and agile and can jump a fence easily, so be sure your yard is secured with a nice sized fence. When walking your Borzoi, be sure you have a secure hold on him – if he sees something run by quickly, he may chase after it without worry for his own safety.
When your Borzoi is not running and playing in the backyard, he will be a happy couch potato, preferably on your couch or bed! He is calm and regal, enjoying a good romp with a comfy place to rest inside afterwards.
Training
The Borzoi will respond well to general obedience training, but should not be expected to go further than that. Your Borzoi is very smart, but may be a bit stubborn.
Exercise
The Borzoi breed needs daily running and exercise. They do not do as well in small places, and should be allowed to have plenty of exercise.
Grooming
This breed has a beautiful double hair coat and needs weekly brushing. Always check under the ears and fur for ticks.
Health
The Borzoi is prone to Gastric Torsion or “Bloat,” and can be sensitive to chemicals, harsh smells and flea medications.
