Pet Animals Pet Dogs Borzoi
Tolstoy's epic story War and Peace describes the Borzoi on a wolf-hunt: These speedy, aristocratic Russian dogs tracked, captured and pinned wolves until the horsemen arrived. A likely mix of a shorthaired Middle Eastern dog and a long-haired, long-legged Russian Collie, this breed found favor with the czars, who often gave them as a royal gifts. The name derives from a Russian word meaning "fast." Unlike most dogs, who track primarily by smell, the Borzoi uses sight as a primary sense. These tall dogs, largely unchanged for 100 years, possess a reserved disposition and still love to chase.
