Elegance in motion, the Borzoi looks like a flowing, sleek, blur when chasing its quarry. It hunts by sight rather than smell, and is bred to be as fast as possible over open terrain. Their inverted S shape is perfectly indicative of their Greyhound heritage. Underneath their beautifully long and silky coat is a lithe frame, deep chest, and slim waist. Standing almost 28 inches, they are a sight to behold.

Care
Their long, flowing coats require a good brush every couple of days. Baths are also necessary to keep your Borzoi looking handsome. Trim nails as needed, when not worn by adequate exercise.
All dogs require regular dental care, including at-home teeth brushing and professional dental cleanings, and Borzoi is no exception. Maintaining good dental hygiene is important for their overall long-term health.
