Ch Chulista Klasyx Runs With Wind, SC FC
"Grub"

This is not a breed that will fit into every household. Borzoi are considered a giant breed. Females stand more than 26 inches and males are more than 28 inches tall at the shoulder. Even though they are large dogs, they are graceful animals, and with proper training make excellent house dogs. They have a long silky coat, typically white with lemon, tan, gray, brindle, or black markings. Daily brushing is needed to keep the coat mat free. 

Borzoi are intelligent, independent, and can be stubborn.  Aloof with strangers, they are devoted to their families.  When raised with children, most Borzoi are good companions, but they are not a breed that will tolerate a child's rough-housing. Borzoi are sight hounds, bred to chase and catch game by sight; any small animal that runs may trigger this response. Bear this in mind if there are other pets in the house - especially cats.

Basic obedience training and socialization are recommended.  Patience and consistency are the keys to training. Borzoi mature slowly, so the destructive tendencies of puppyhood are there for a long time in a very large dog.  Boredom often leads to destructive behavior.  Attention and exercise can help; however, if the dog is to be left alone for long periods of time, you should consider having an outdoor run built or providing a crate inside. Borzoi require regular exercise. However, it is NEVER advisable to allow a Borzoi to run loose.
