Borzoi

Meet the Borzoi—a graceful, calm, and elegant sighthound that was once the pride of Russian nobility. Known for their long, flowing coats, slender build, and aristocratic air, these dogs are fast as the wind and sweet as a marshmallow. But don’t let their royal looks fool you—they also have a silly, playful side that makes them incredibly endearing. If you’re looking for a chill, cuddly, and stunningly beautiful companion, the Borzoi might just be your perfect match.

What Makes Borzois So Special?

✅ Fast & Focused: These sighthounds can hit up to 40 mph, originally bred to chase wolves (yes, wolves).
✅ Calm & Gentle: Indoors, they’re quiet, well-mannered, and love lounging in soft spots.
✅ Sweet but Independent: They love their humans but won’t cling—they’re like that chill friend who’s always cool.
