00:12 So if you give these guys the right attention, they'll love you for life.

00:24 Hey everybody, welcome to Pet Spot.

00:31 Make sure you watch to the end to find out their favorite prey when out in the fields.

00:44 Alright, let's get into it.

00:47 Formerly known as the Russian Wolfhound, the Borzoi was developed in Russia by the aristocrats

00:52 of the day to be used as coursing and hunting dogs.

00:56 They would send these dogs out in teams to hunt rabbits, foxes, and even wolves.

01:01 However, over time, these dogs gradually came to be more popularly known as companion pets,

01:07 especially for royalty all across the continental Europe.

01:11 Fast forward to now and Borzois have become well known for their cool, calm, and collected

01:16 disposition.

01:17 You can only expect that after rolling with royalty for so many centuries, right?

01:22 Physically, a Borzoi has a lean, tall body with a long and narrow head and a silky coat.

01:29 You only need to take one look at a Borzoi to see that he is the very picture of elegance

01:34 and refinement.

01:35 The grace with which he carries himself throws you back to his glory days as a pet of the

01:40 royals.

01:41 But, though they are sweet and gentle, they are definitely not the pet for everybody.

01:46 We will get into that shortly.

01:48 Alright, so the Borzoi has certain unique characteristics.

01:53 They are usually laid back, but they are also swift runners too.

01:56 They typically prefer sprinting to marathons, though, and after a quick sprint, they are

02:02 content to just kick back and relax on their favorite sofa.

02:06 Now, even though Borzois are speedy runners, this does not mean that they are high-energy

02:11 dogs.

02:12 In fact, Borzois are couch potatoes and will never exhale even a tiny breath of complaint

02:18 if they have to spend the entire day with you in bed.

02:21 Talking about their personality, Borzois have a full range.

02:25 Sometimes they are stately and serious, other times they are just 100% clowns, but for the

02:31 most part, they are sensible, intelligent, and quiet.

02:35 Nevertheless, they do not appreciate being left alone for long periods.

02:39 With strangers, Borzois can be quiet or friendly, depending, although they are generally trusting

02:45 of people, but they are definitely not shy, just withdrawn.

02:49 Now, don't get it twisted, a Borzoi may be easy-going and laid back, but it does not

02:55 necessarily mean training them is always going to be a walk in the park.

02:59 These guys have minds of their own and can be stubborn.

03:03 Some people mislabel them as dumb, but they are far from that.

03:07 They just like to make sure that whatever you've asked them to do, works for them

03:11 before they do it.

03:13 Also, they easily get bored, especially if you're doing the same things again and again.

03:18 So make sure your training sessions are short and fun, and make sure you use positive reinforcement,

03:24 not intimidation.

03:25 When it comes to exercise, Borzois can either be lazy or self-driven.

03:30 The lazy ones must be walked at least 20 minutes per day.

03:33 The self-driven ones have no problem exercising themselves as long as they have the space

03:38 to do so.

03:39 Just make sure the yard is well-fenced, you know they have this instinct to chase.

03:44 Now let's talk about house training.

03:47 Borzois are not exactly tough to house train, but you want to crate train these guys to

03:52 keep them from getting themselves into trouble when you're not around to supervise them.

03:56 Also, keep in mind that Borzoi puppies take their sweet time to mature, so the destructiveness

04:03 that comes with puppyhood might not go away as quickly as you might expect it to.

04:09 One thing you can do to help your Borzoi puppy is to provide them with plenty of companionship

04:14 and exercise.

04:15 Of course, we can't talk about the Borzoi without talking about the natural gift of

04:19 athleticism.

04:21 Borzois are naturally gifted in canine sporting activities.

04:25 They do fantastic in the show ring and would easily give any other breed a run for their

04:30 money when it comes to obedience, agility, and rally.

04:34 Nevertheless, the area of their greatest strength remains the lure coursing field because it

04:39 allows them to express that inborn instinct they have to chase.

04:43 In fact, till now, in certain western states, Borzois are used to hunt jackrabbits in open

04:49 field coursing, while others use them to protect their animals from coyotes.

04:54 Finally, let's talk about grooming.

04:57 A Borzoi comes with a long, silky coat, which would need brushing with a pin brush every

05:03 week.

05:04 This breed sheds heavily seasonally, and during those periods, you have to brush more frequently.

05:10 And of course, it goes without saying that if you are allergic to dogs, then the Borzoi

05:14 might not be the dog you want.
