The Borzoi is an elegant sighthound that is calm indoors but explosive when running. Indian owners need safe fenced exercise and should avoid heavy activity in hot weather.
The Borzoi was developed in Russia for coursing wolves and other game across open land. Aristocratic kennels prized speed, courage and a flowing coat suited to cold climates. After political upheaval in Russia, the breed survived through exported dogs and dedicated breeders abroad.
In India, Borzoi prices vary with breeder reputation, city, age, colour demand, health testing and whether KCI papers are provided. Very low prices can mean poor breeding, weak vaccination records or uncertain parentage.
Borzoi needs purposeful daily exercise, not only a short toilet walk. Brush weekly, check ears and nails, and increase coat care during shedding seasons. Feed a balanced diet with measured portions; growing puppies should not be overfed or over-exercised. In most Indian cities, provide shade, fresh water and avoid strenuous activity during hot afternoons.
Yes, but only for active homes that can give daily exercise and mental work. Space helps, but owner commitment matters more than a large yard.
Plan daily structured activity and training games.
Regular brushing and routine ear, nail and dental care are important.
