Introduction

Graceful and aristocratic, the Borzoi is a breed of noble heritage. Known for their silky coat and slender, elongated build, these dogs exude elegance. With a calm and gentle temperament, they make affectionate companions ideal for tranquil homes. Despite their serene demeanor, Borzois possess a high prey drive and require regular exercise to maintain their lithe physique. Their intelligence and independent nature make them a unique challenge to train, yet they respond well to patient and consistent methods.
