Know all about the breed

According to Federation Cynologique Internationale (AISBL), Borzoi is a hunting sighthound to be used mostly for chasing hare and fox, less for wolf hunting. Borzoi combines high agility with endurance and the ability to tackle a game deftly at once. It is a result of multi-breed crossing which is used for coursing and racing. In males the height at the withers is equal or 1–2 cm more than the height at the point of the sacrum, while in females these two heights are equal. The length of the body somewhat exceeds the height at the withers. It is also considered an aggressive or overly shy dog.
