Borzoi are a Russian breed of hunting hound—also called the Russian Wolfhound—which is why some people might simply refer to the breed as the “Russian long nose dog.” Most popularly featured in the dog with long nose meme, the Borzoi has recently begun to gain popularity as a family dog and delightfully quirky companion animal.
The name Borzoi comes from the Russian word for ‘swift,’ describing the quick footedness of the breed which was once bred for hunting and chasing down wolves for aristocratic game hunters. Incredibly powerful dogs, the Borzoi is known for reaching speeds of 35–40 miles per hour in short bursts and has the physical strength to pin and hold down prey.
While you might expect the Borzoi to be an in-your-face, high-energy breed that will dominate your home, the Russian Wolfhound is actually a dignified and somewhat reserved dog that is sometimes described as cat-like.
Considering the fearsome history of the Russian Wolfhound, Borzoi are remarkably affectionate, calm, and goofy. An intelligent breed sometimes prone to stubbornness, the Borzoi will keep you laughing all day long with its antics. Playful and fun-loving, Borzoi may not engage in typical dog play but are prone to “zoomies” and creating their own games. Rather independent though still sensitive and loyal to their humans, Borzoi have minds of their own and love to exercise their free will.
“In their quiet, catlike way they can be stubborn, and training is best accomplished with patience, consistency, and good humor,” says the American Kennel Club’s guide to the Borzoi. “Affectionate family dogs, Borzoi are nonetheless a bit too dignified to wholeheartedly enjoy a lot of roughhousing.”
Though the Borzoi can have explosive bursts of energy, they are considered a moderate activity breed of dog and may enjoy spending their day lounging on a couch as much as they love hiking, walking, and romping in their yards. Borzoi love spending time with their families but may be aloof with strangers and uninterested in unknown dogs.
Mischievous and curious, Borzoi will happily get themselves into trouble and are notorious for ignoring their training no matter how well it has been taught and reinforced. Borzoi are not only difficult to train but are hyper-emotional and thoughtful, and respond only to the most positive reinforcement. The Borzoi is not a breed for new dog owners, but for those who are prepared, this may just become your all-time favorite breed.
Borzoi are tall and physically large and designed for speed and strength. Full-grown Russian Borzoi stand 26–28+ inches tall and weigh around 60–105 pounds.
There are a few important health issues to consider if you plan to own a Borzoi. Fairly long-lived dogs for their size, the average lifespan of a Borzoi is around 9–14 years. When fed high-quality dog food and given proper medical care and an appropriately active lifestyle, most Borzoi do not develop chronic or life-threatening health issues. Of course, as with any breed, there are still some health conditions to look out for if you own a Borzoi.
