Borzoi

Temperament

The Borzoi is an intelligent, active dog. They are gentle with people and have good manners but sometimes are nervous around children. Although it is brutal against wolves, the Borzoi is a brave dog that will try to dominate many other breeds, but lacks the body weight and the strength to combat a mastiff or similar hefty breed. Even now, young Borzois at play sometimes spontaneously join forces against another dog, seizing it by the neck and holding it immobile.
