About the Borzoi
The Borzoi, also known as the Russian Wolfhound, is a large sighthound originally bred by Russian aristocracy for coursing wolves, hares, and other game across open plains, relying on its exceptional speed, powerful sight, and immense courage. Known for its elegant, flowing silhouette and calm, dignified temperament in the home, it is an independent, affectionate companion with a strong prey drive and a quiet, sometimes reserved nature.
