Borzoi

You can teach a Borzoi to sit just like any other dog. One method is to raise a treat over their head. As they reach up to get it, their bottom will go down. When it hits the ground, say sit and reward with the treat + praise.

Be aware though that due to the anatomy of the Borzoi, it is uncomfortable for them to remain sitting for extended periods of time. This is especially true of fully matured, adult Borzoi.

A borzoi (AKA: Russian Wolfhound) is a long coated breed from Russia. They were the favorite breed of the Tsars and were used in royal wolf hunts where they would have a borzoi (or a pack of borzoi - usuall three - 1 female and 2 males) chase down a wolf and hold it there until the hunters arrive.

They are a large breed, averaging 28 inches - 33 inches at the shoulder and weight around 60 - 90 pounds. Despite its size, it is an extremely agile hunter and some can reach speeds up to 30 miles and hour.

They can come in a multitude of colors and color combinations - but, merles are not seen in this breed. If they do appear, it is extremely rare.

Borzoi have a long, narrow head with obliquely set eyes that are usually dark in color.

Today, borzoi make great companions for many people. They are gentle, loving, and well mannered. They aren't big barkers, but some still maintain their hunting instincts, so, be careful with them around small animals such as rabbits, cats, and even small dogs such as chihuahuas.

Yes cause it can guard your sheep and other animal's. So, yes it is a good dog for a farm house

Borzoi are thought to be derived from middle eastern sighthounds (saluki-like dogs) that were brought over to Russia. These dogs were short coated and had very little fat and often froze in the freezing temperatures in Russia, so, they crossed these dogs with thick coated herding dogs to create the borzoi.

No. No. No.

They shed like crazy.

Fast.

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.

yes, they make great guard dogs, they were originally used to hunting down wolves. they are strong enough to hold down a full grown male timber wolf with its mouth.

yes u should

Borzois are 69 - 79 cm tall.

This link will give you the info you asked for.

A drain plunger is sometimes (though rarely) called a force cup. Asking for a force cup at the hardware store will only slow your ability to get one, and it could easily result in your being thought of as a "wise guy" or something else.

Yes, absolutely. Any breed of dog has the potential to be used in therapy work if trained for it.

No, they are the same breed. Borzoi is a Russian word so can be used by itself- Borzoi is the proper name- also a publishing company. It is not going out of bounds to suggest that the popular slang term Bowser ( for a dog) MIGHT be derived from Borzoi. Yes, Anastasia had one, her Pooka was a lot bigger than the mini-puppy in the cartoon film. oddly while Anastasia grew up- Pooka stayed in the puppy size range, and they ar such as Beautiful dog. actually they were quite popular with Ladies of the Russian court. it was only ( Nobless oblige) for Stacy to have one of the national breed. by the way Pooka means Female Dog in Russian- in both senses of the term.

The Borzoi is also known as the Russian Wolfhound.
