INTRODUCTION
The Borzoi breed of dog was bred to hunt wolves in Russia and the earliest examples in the UK were gifts from Tsar Nicholas to the then Princess Alexandra at the beginning of the 20th century. Their Borzoi, also known as the Russian Wolfhound, developed from sighthounds imported from Arabia in the 17th century being crossed with native breeds; sighthounds were unable to cope with the severe Russian winters so they were bred with local coated hounds to produce the forerunners of the present hound.

APPEARANCE
Borzoi dogs can come in almost any color or color combination. Their coat is silky, flat and should never be wooly. This breed is a large variety with males reaching in excess of 100 pounds (45 kg). Males should stand at least 28 inches while females shouldn't be less than 26 inches.

CHARACTERISTICS
The Borzoi breed of dog is an intelligent, active dog. They are gentle with people and have good manners but sometimes are nervous around children. Although it is brutal against wolves, the Borzoi is a brave dog that will try to dominate many other breeds.
