The Borzoi, also known as the Russian Wolfhound, is a breed of dog known for its elegant appearance and graceful movement. Originally bred in Russia for hunting wolves, they have a long, slender body, a narrow head, and a silky coat that can come in various colors. Borzois are known for their speed and agility, making them excellent sighthounds. These dogs are typically gentle and affectionate with their families but can be reserved around strangers. They require regular exercise and enjoy open spaces where they can run. Due to their hunting background, Borzois may have a strong prey drive, so socialization and training are essential.
