About the Breed
Another member of the sight hounds, the Borzoi evolved in
the Soviet Union to hunt wolves, and is sometimes also known
as the Russian Wolfhound. It has an elegant, aristocratic
appearance – long legs, a gracefully curving back with
a long neck and tapering head – and appears to have
changed little since it was developed in the middle of the
seventeenth century. Borzois hunted in couples, approaching
a wolf simultaneously from each side. They then wrestled it
to the ground and held it for the huntsmen so that it could
be killed.
Borzois were first exhibited in Britain by the Prince of Wales
at the end of the last century, and also became known in the
United States at about the same time. In 1903 the Russian
Wolfhound Club of America was founded and did much to popularise
the breed. They can be bred in any colour, although white
is generally prominent in their coat, which needs careful
grooming to preserve its appearance.
Borzois can prove rather remote by nature, being far less
playful than many other breeds. It is important that they
be kept in an environment where they can use their speed regularly.
There are few sights more graceful than these dogs running
together.
This is the most elegant and spectacular breed of all dogs.
A great favourite with the Russian Court and nobles, the Borzoi
was condemned and kennels dispersed when the Bolsheviks came
to power. The breed was bred exclusively for the purpose of
wolf-hunting. The Borzoi arrived in England about 1875 and
immediately attracted attention; many of the leading breeders
took an interest in its British future, and by 1892 the first
specialist club was formed, largely through the help of the
late Duchess of Newcastle. Today, it is bred more for beauty
than for coursing, but proves fairly popular in Britain and
the U.S.A.
