The Borzoi

Sight Hound

Cuddles and Avalanche from the Auroral Kennel
Katya from Shefaro Borzoi

The Borzoi is a large, quiet and sensitive dog. A swift hunter who could mistake your pet cat as game (unless socialized as a puppy, but then still beware). It will tolerate children but will not engage in any rough play. They enjoy their "space", and may seem aloof and regal. The Borzoi is graceful to watch and needs plenty of exercise. Always alert for game they need to be leashed or allowed to run in a fenced enclosure. They can adapt to apartment life if given sufficient exercise. They are easy to groom, but are seasonal heavy shedders.

Book Suggestions


We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
