That's about all they will do, and they are not very good at actually protecting you. They are adequate watchdogs, and will bark. They are friendly, but not gregarious, toward strangers. Like most sighthounds, borzoi are very sensitive and are one family dogs. But they will always remind you they are doing it only as a favor to you. If you make it worth their while and a lot of fun, they can actually turn in a fairly decent performance. Obedience lessons are apt to be met with a sense of humor, but borzoi will humor you and do some semblance of what you ask them. They cannot be called off the chase, and they are oblivious to cars. True to their heritage, borzoi are avid hunters, and will chase any small fleeing animal. They are happiest when that entertainment involves running. They are good-natured, gentle and calm, seemingly amused at whatever entertainment comes their way. Personality:īorzoi know they are aristocrats, but they also hide a bit of court jester. Although all colors are acceptable, white with patches is most often seen. The coat is rather long and somewhat silky, either curly, wavy or straight. Males average 75 to 105 pounds (34 to 47 kilograms), and females 60 to 85 pounds (27 to 38 kilograms). They are narrow, though, so that they weigh less than other dogs of comparable height. Today most males are probably 32 to 34 inches tall, with the females somewhat smaller. Realistically, these would be considered very small borzoi. The males are at least 28 inches tall, and females at least 26 inches. The borzoi's grace is evident in his every move.Īlthough smaller than an Irish wolfhound, borzoi are still very large, and especially tall, dogs. His head is extraordinarily long and narrow. Like a typical greyhound, it has family traits of long, slender legs, relatively narrow body, deep chest, tucked abdomen, arched loin and long tail. The borzoi is best described as a large greyhound robed in a long, silky coat.
