FAQs
Why do Borzoi not live long?
Borzoi typically have a lifespan of around 7 to 14 years, averaging about 12 years in the UK. Their relatively shorter lifespan compared to smaller breeds is due to their large size and genetic predispositions to health issues like hip and elbow dysplasia, heart problems, and bloat, which is a life-threatening stomach condition common in large dogs.
Can you get Borzois in the UK?
Yes, Borzois are available in the UK through reputable Kennel Club Assured breeders who ensure health screening and early socialisation. They can also be found via rescue or rehoming centres specialising in the breed, providing options for adopting a Borzoi responsibly.
Why are Borzoi so rare?
Borzoi are considered rare due to their specific ownership requirements, including the need for experienced owners with sufficient space and time. Their unique temperament as large, sensitive sighthounds originally bred for hunting means breeding is less common compared to more popular breeds, contributing to their relative rarity.
Are Borzoi dogs aggressive?
Borzoi dogs are generally calm, affectionate, and laid-back rather than aggressive. While any dog can display aggression if poorly socialised or mistreated, responsible breeding and proper socialisation usually produce Borzoi with a bold but placid temperament free from fear or aggression.
