Overview
Borzois are active, graceful and loving dogs, with a gentle nature and a calm demeanour. They have gained a popular following online thanks to their sense of humour and extremely long and slender heads.
They have plenty of energy and love to be outdoors, so are perfect companions to those who have active lifestyles. Borzois were originally bred in Russia in the 16th Century for hunting foxes and wolves, and their name means “swift” in Russian.
