Borzoi and borzoi pictures
The Borzois are gentle, well-mannered dogs who have grace and beauty,
yet they enjoy having fun and racing games. The Borzoi is a tall,
aristocratic dog with a long, thin, narrow head, whose body is designed
for speed. They are affectionate with their owners and tolerant
of other dogs. Puppies grow rapidly and should not be overworked
until fully mature which is at one year of age. Their colors are
white, golden, tan or gray with black markings, in either solid
or mixed colors. The Borzoi is a sweet, intelligent dog, quite affectionate
with people they know well. They are proud and self aware dogs that
are extremely loyal to their family. This breed can be trained in
obedience, but since they are hounds, are more free-thinking, and
less willing to please humans than some breeds. The Borzoi are smart,
very intelligent, and capable learners. However the training of
this breed has to be based upon mutual respect. Borzoi are often
quite cat-like, often keeping themselves quite clean. This breed
is quiet, rarely barking. They cannot be trusted off leash, unless
in a securely fenced area. They are good with other dogs, but should
be supervised with small non-canine pets such as cats and rabbits.
Spending time outdoors with small animals is not advised. They should
be socialized very well with cats and other pets at as young an
age as possible, but remember the Borzoi will always be a hunter
that may race after a fleeing animal.
