Borzoi

Borzois are slim, graceful dogs, and can run so fast they can catch hare. Lots of exercise is a must! They are sight hounds - in other words they respond to what they see - a fleeing animal for example. A scent hound sniffs the ground, and goes by smell rather than sight.

The borzoi originated in Russia, where they were used by the aristocracy for hunting. They were once called Russian wolfhounds.

Borzois can be reserved with people they do not know. 

The borzoi has a long, silky coat, which needs grooming. 

Colour: usually white with lemon, tan, grey, brindle or black markings. Occasionally borzois are seen where the whole coat is of any of these colours.

Height at shoulder: 69 - 79 cms. 

Weight: 35 - 48 kg.

Class: hound

Dogs often breath through their mouths. It helps to cool them, and gets air in quicker after running. A well-trained dog pants in eagerness for it's owner's commands. 

King David of Israel said, "I open my mouth & pant, longing for God's commands." Psalm 119 verse 131 The Bible. Let's pray for an eagerness to read God's Word and to hear His commands!
