Is a Borzoi the Right Breed For Me?
When selecting a puppy, choosing the correct breed to match your lifestyle, temperament and personality is of prime importance. You are making a commitment to the dog that will last their lifetime - between 10 to 20 years, depending upon the breed. If you choose a mixed breed dog, you will not really know what to expect, and the dog's behavior may be quite unpredictable. Research the various breeds, and visit a reputable breeder in your area. A little bit of internet research will help you determine the best breed for you.
The borzoi is a large breed. It is a sight hound, which means it has been bred for hunting small game, and may not be trustworthy around smaller animals unless they have been introduced and properly socialized from a young age. Borzoi are not guard dogs, so they rarely bark and do not have the instinct to protect their home or family. Often their size is sufficient deterrent, but if you are looking for a dog for protection, the borzoi is not a good choice. Borzoi need daily exercise, and ideally a large fenced area in which to run. However, having gone out and twice per day they are satisfied to become a couch potato for the remainder of the day. Borzoi should ALWAYS be on leash when out and away from home.
The borzoi is cat-like in many respects. They are extremely clean and relatively odorless, and they will tend to litter train themselves at a young age (with help and encouragement from the breeder!). They have a very even and sweet temperament unless their environment becomes unpredictable. Socialize them early to make a good family fit. As with other breeds, male borzoi can be more spirited in certain situations, so you need to determine if a male or a bitch is appropriate for you.
Also consider whether you would like a show dog or a pet? Breeders often have both show quality dogs and pet quality dogs from each litter. If you acquire a show dog you will be required to show him or her at least to their championship. If you simply like the breed and wish to own a borzoi without being involved in shows, you should ask a breeder for a pet quality dog.
