A Borzoi is a breed of domestic dog that originated in Russia, once known as the Russian Wolfhound. It is a member of the sighthound family, closely related to breeds like Greyhounds and Salukis, and was historically bred by Russian aristocracy to hunt wolves, foxes, and hares across the vast steppes. The name “Borzoi” comes from the old Russian word borzyi, meaning “swift” or “fast,” which reflects both their physical abilities and their hunting style.
Physically, Borzois are tall, elegant, and slender, with a long, narrow head, deep chest, and powerful yet graceful build. They have a silky, wavy or slightly curly coat that comes in many colors, including white, black, gold, brindle, and mixed patterns. Their long legs and flexible spine allow them to sprint at high speeds, and their keen eyesight makes them excellent at spotting movement from far away. Males typically stand between 28 to 33 inches at the shoulder, while females are slightly smaller. Despite their size, they carry themselves with a calm, aristocratic dignity.
In temperament, Borzois are often described as gentle, quiet, and independent. They form strong bonds with their families and tend to be affectionate, but they are not overly demanding of attention. Unlike some working breeds, they are usually reserved with strangers but rarely aggressive. Their sighthound instincts make them prone to chasing small animals, so they require secure spaces if exercised off-leash. Indoors, however, they are surprisingly laid-back, often enjoying lounging and resting rather than constant activity.
Today, Borzois are kept primarily as companions and show dogs rather than hunters, but they still retain their athleticism and instinctive drive to chase. Their combination of grace, speed, and calm personality has made them a symbol of elegance, often featured in art and literature, especially associated with Russian nobility and grandeur.
