| Origin |
Originated in Arabia, the Borzoi
breed was brought to Russian in the 17th century. Originally having a
thin coat for desert life, they were bred with longer haired sheepdogs
to survive the fierce Russian winters. They are also known as the Russian
Wolfhound as they were used to hunt wolves. They eventually became dogs
of royalty throughout Europe. Their name comes from the word Borzii, which
means swift in Russian. |
| Description |
This intelligent, easy going
breed makes a great companion dog. They are loyal, loving pets that loves
to relax at home with their family. They do well with other dogs and do
best with older children who are well behaved. They are not ideal for
other small pets, but if socialized with them when they are young, they
can do well. They need plenty of room to exercise and run, which seems
to be their favorite form of exercising. When going on an outing with
them, it is recommended that they stay leashed as they can be quick to
chase other animals. However, when they are home with you, they tend to
be calm and love to rest and relax. |
