Absolutely. Borzoi are independent thinkers and can be stubborn if they don't see the point in being asked to perform certain behaviors.. There is a difference between trainability (as in the almost mindless obedience of some of the "smart breeds") and intelligence. Borzoi can be successfully trained, but require some creative methods as they bore easily with endless repetition.

Is the Borzoi easy to train?

The Borzoi has been said to have a catlike personality, and although they are very smart dogs they can be a bit difficult to train. Training should begin at a young age and remain firm and consistent. Borzoi are very sensitive dogs and your patience is a must. You should always use positive methods when it comes to training and never hit a Borzoi. As stated they are very sensitive and although very affectionate, they are also timid and you will find that your trust will be lost if you raise a hand to a Borzoi. Professional help and obedience classes would be wise, if possible.


What are the ancestors of the Borzoi?

Hound dogs "bay"--aaarrrrrrOOOOO! That's the best I can do. Most hounds are the product of many generations of cross-breeding and in-breeding to produce certain hounds with certain qualities. Some hound breeders do not consider the dog a true hound if it doesn't bay.
