About the Borzoi
The Borzoi is a breed that is most often called the Russian Wolfhound. They are similar in shape to the Greyhound. This is an intelligent, active dog. They are gentle and have good manners but can become nervous around children. If they are going to be a family pet they need to be raised with small children.

They are dogs that pursue game and like to chase things that run from them. They need to be in a fenced yard if you live on a busy street because them will chase something into the street without regard for traffic.

Their most common health problems are gastric torsion and cardiac problems. Life expectancy is 10-12 years. They were bred with a different Russian herding dog and have an ability to deal with wolves. They were popular with Tsars before the 1917 revolution. They trained them to be hunting dogs.
