This dog breed among other things is known for its looks. There are days you could even mistake it for a cat but its chase will definitely change your mind. They are mostly used for glam modeling but they could make great companions too. Discover more about our Borzoi puppies for sale below!
Originally called the Russian wolfhound, this dog breed has incredibly grown and evolved over time. The name borzoi was subsequently adopted and it was known as a royal dog, one adapted for the kings and queens.
They were given out as gifts to many royalties and this is what enhanced their longevity. Their hunting skills are impeccable as they were made to join hunts. This breed experienced a setback during the Russian revolution but they are slowly stealing back the spotlight.
The borzoi is easy going and has a gentle spirit. They are quite affectionate and very friendly too. Their reaction to strangers could be friendly and may also be aloof depending on the circumstances. They really do not like to be left alone.
They may be a tad difficult to train and you’d need a lot of patience with them. They could be friendly with children but since they are known to bite at the slightest provocation, such moments should be supervised. They, however, need to know that they are loved and won’t be put to any harm.
Given the fact that they have hunting instincts, they should be kept in fenced yards. They are likely to go off if they see a running cat so it’s best if they are kept in controlled environments.
They are big dogs and not so tolerant either so they would be suitable for homes with bigger children as they won’t be so appreciative of a toddler who pokes them. They seem to be friendly with other dogs too except when the sighthound instinct is triggered.
The borzoi dog breed is classified as energetic and would need their fair share of exercise. Since they are sighthounds, it is advised to keep them contained as they seem to chase anything that moves however small. Some time in an enclosed yard should do the trick. They could run around or play fetch.
They are good house dogs and shouldn’t be allowed to go out without a leash. You could also take them on walks but they’d have to be on a leash so they do not venture off.
The borzoi has quite the coat. You would need to brush it’s coat regularly say 2 to 3 times a week. Since it sheds in season, be sure to brush him more at that time. Bathe him as frequently as it is needed and be sure to take out any matting that may occur behind his ears.
Brush his teeth 2 to 3 times a week or much more often to remove bacteria and to give him fresh breath. If you hear his nails on the floor of the house, they are probably too long and you’d need to cut them.
