The Borzoi is a sleek, long-legged dog breed originally from Russia, bred to chase down swift prey. These elegant hounds were once used to hunt wolves, relying on their sharp eyesight and speed. With their flowing coats and graceful build, they look as regal as they are athletic.

  • Originally called the Russian Wolfhound until 1936.
  • Belongs to the sighthound family, hunting by vision rather than scent.
  • Their long legs and deep chest are built for explosive speed.
