Borzoi - Russian Wolfhound ~ Psovoi found in RUSSIA


Family: Canidae

Description The Borzoi has a very distinct look, with its graceful posture and its long, silky coat. Its muzzle has a slight arch, and its ears lie back on its neck. The back is also slightly curved, as is its long tail. Coloring may be white, golden, tan, or gray with black markings, and the dog may be solid colored or mixed. Male Borzoi are at least 28 inches tall and weigh 75-105 pounds. Females are at least 26 inches tall and 60-90 pounds.

Care and Feeding Borzoi need plenty of fiber, the best sources of which are wheat and yellow corn. Beef and horse meat are the best proteins for this breed. Borzoi should have two or three small meals each day, and should be allowed to rest for several hours after eating to prevent bloat.
The Borzoi requires regular brushing, and the hair between its toes should be clipped periodically. Hind dewclaws are usually removed shortly after birth, and fore dewclaws may or may not be removed. Dry shampoo is usually sufficient for cleaning.
Although the Borzoi is a generally healthy breed, annual checkups are recommended. Vaccinations should be given as follows:

  • 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
  • 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
  • 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
  • Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster

The Borzoi sheds heavily at times, so frequent vacuuming is required if it is to be kept indoors. This breed does a good job of keeping itself clean.
