History & Origin of the Borzoi

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.

Caring for a Borzoi in India

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.
