How big do Borzoi get?

Big. Mature males stand at least 28 inches at the withers and mature bitches at least 26 inches, and the standard sets no upper limit — a dog above the minimum is not penalized as long as the extra size is not acquired at the expense of symmetry, speed, and staying quality. Dogs and bitches below the minimums are severely penalized. Males weigh 75 to 105 pounds; bitches 15 to 20 pounds less. Most adult males stand 30 to 33 inches and most bitches 27 to 31 inches.

Are Borzoi good with children?

Generally yes, with the usual large-dog caveats. Borzoi are calm, gentle, and dignified — not rough or mouthy — and they are usually patient with children. But a Borzoi is a very tall, fast dog that can knock a small child over by accident, and its sighthound prey drive means a running, squealing toddler can look like something to chase. They do best with respectful, older children and with early socialization, and play with small children should be supervised.

Do Borzoi need a lot of exercise?

A great deal — but in short, fast bursts rather than all-day endurance work. A Borzoi is a coursing sighthound that can run 35 to 40 miles per hour, and it needs a daily chance to run full out in a safely fenced area, plus walks and training. It is not a dog for off-leash exercise in open country: a sighthound that sees a deer or a rabbit is gone, and recall is not reliable against prey. A Borzoi that runs every day is a calm, quiet house dog; one that never gets to run is a frustrated one.

What health tests should a Borzoi breeder do?

The Borzoi Club of America's CHIC program requires four tests for a CHIC number: an eye examination by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist (CAER/ACVO), a thyroid evaluation through an OFA-approved laboratory, an advanced cardiac evaluation (echocardiogram) by a board-certified cardiologist, and a DNA test for degenerative myelopathy (the SOD1 mutation). The club also recommends hip (OFA or PennHIP) and elbow (OFA) evaluations and 24-hour Holter monitoring. Ask for the OFA or CHIC numbers and look them up on the OFA database yourself.

When and where is the Borzoi national specialty?

The annual Borzoi specialty dog show, put on by the Borzoi Club of America, Inc., was held May 14–16, 2026 at Courtyard Omaha Bellevue at Beardmore Event Center in Bellevue, Nebraska. It drew 233 dogs and 262 entries. Best of Breed was GCH Meyta Loverboy Romeo Auroral. The annual 2027 Borzoi specialty dog show is announced for May 13–15, 2027 at Little America Hotel & Resort in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Borzoi

Q: Do Borzoi shed a lot?

Yes, moderately and year-round, with heavier shedding in season. The long, silky coat drops hair rather than blowing a woolly undercoat, and it mats where it rubs — behind the ears, under the legs, and in the feathering on the hindquarters and tail. Brush two to three times a week with a pin brush and a comb, more often in shedding season, and bathe only when the dog is actually dirty.

The Borzoi is a tall, long-coated Russian sighthound — calm and dignified in the house, capable of 35 to 40 miles per hour in the field. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1891, when it was still called the Russian Wolfhound; the name was changed to Borzoi in 1936. The Borzoi Club of America's national specialty gathers the breed's best in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in May 2027.

2. History

The Borzoi's written history reaches back to 1650, when the first standard for the breed was written in its homeland, Russia. For centuries the breed was the coursing hound of the Russian aristocracy — bred to chase, catch, and hold wolves and other game on open terrain, relying on sight rather than scent. Russian fanciers formed the Imperial Association to protect and promote the breed's qualities, and the bloodlines of many Borzoi in America trace back to dogs from its members' kennels, among them Grand Duke Nicholas, the uncle of Czar Nicholas II, and the wealthy landowner Artem Boldareff. Leo Tolstoy immortalized the Russian aristocracy's staged wolf hunts in War and Peace.

The American story began with imports from England. The first Borzoi known to have been imported to the United States was Elsie, bought from Britain by a Pennsylvania man named William Wade. In the 1890s, C. Steadman Hanks visited Russia and imported Borzoi directly from their homeland to found his Seacroft Kennels. Princess Irma was the first Borzoi registered with the American Kennel Club, in 1891. In 1903, Joseph B. Thomas helped to establish the breed in America by making three trips to Russia to buy dogs from Grand Duke Nicholas's Perchino Kennel and Artem Boldareff's Woronzova Kennel; his Valley Farm Kennel name had been registered with the AKC in December 1901.

The national club followed the same year. On November 12, 1903, at a meeting held at the Brooklyn Bench Show, exhibitors and others interested in the Russian Wolfhound organized a specialty club to be known as the “Russian Wolfhound Club of America,” and appointed an executive committee — Dr. J. E. de Mund, James Mortimer, and Joseph B. Thomas — to draft a constitution and a breed standard. The constitution and standard were approved at a meeting held during the Westminster Kennel Club show on February 4, 1904, and the club was elected to membership in the American Kennel Club on May 19, 1904. Dr. de Mund served as the club's first president, holding that office for the first six years and off and on until his death. The official breed standard was formally adopted in 1905 and has remained largely the same since, with revisions in 1940 and 1972. In 1936, the breed's name was changed from Russian Wolfhound to Borzoi, and the club's name changed to the Borzoi Club of America.

The Russian Revolution of 1917 ended the era of the noble hunt, and the breed survived abroad — in England, where the first Borzoi club had been founded in 1892, and in America. The club's recorded national-specialty history runs back to 1928, in New York, and the Borzoi Club of America remains one of the oldest parent clubs in the American Kennel Club, a member for over 100 years.

3. The standard and why it's written that way

The AKC standard for the Borzoi, approved June 13, 1972, describes a courser first and a show dog second — and it means it. Every point below comes from the standard itself.

General appearance: the Borzoi was originally bred for the coursing of wild game on more or less open terrain, relying on sight rather than scent. To accomplish this purpose, the Borzoi needed particular structural qualities to chase, catch, and hold his quarry. Special emphasis is placed on sound running gear, strong neck and jaws, courage and agility, combined with proper condition. The Borzoi should always possess unmistakable elegance, with flowing lines, graceful in motion or repose. Males, masculine without coarseness; bitches, feminine and refined. (AKC breed standard)
Head: skull slightly domed, long and narrow, with scarcely any perceptible stop, inclined to be Roman-nosed. Jaws long, powerful and deep, somewhat finer in bitches but not snipy. Teeth strong and clean with either an even or a scissors bite. Missing teeth should be penalized. Nose large and black. (AKC breed standard)
Eyes: set somewhat obliquely, dark in color, intelligent but rather soft in expression; never round, full nor staring, nor light in color; eye rims dark; inner corner midway between tip of nose and occiput. (AKC breed standard)
Ears: small and fine in quality, lying back on the neck when in repose with the tips when thrown back almost touching behind occiput; raised when at attention. (AKC breed standard)
Neck, shoulders, and chest: neck clean, free from throatiness, slightly arched, very powerful and well set on. Shoulders sloping, fine at the withers and free from coarseness or lumber. Chest rather narrow, with great depth of brisket. Ribs only slightly sprung, but very deep, giving room for heart and lung play. (AKC breed standard)
Back and loins: back rising a little at the loins in a graceful curve. Loins extremely muscular, but rather tucked up, owing to the great depth of chest and comparative shortness of back and ribs. (AKC breed standard)
Legs and feet: foreleg bones straight and somewhat flattened like blades, with the narrower edge forward. The elbows have free play and are turned neither in nor out. Pasterns strong. Feet hare-shaped, with well-arched knuckles, toes close and well padded. Hindquarters long, very muscular and powerful with well bent stifles; somewhat wider than the forequarters; strong first and second thighs; hocks clean and well let down; legs parallel when viewed from the rear. (AKC breed standard)
Tail: long, set on and carried low in a graceful curve. (AKC breed standard)
Coat: long, silky (not woolly), either flat, wavy or rather curly. On the head, ears and front of legs it should be short and smooth; on the neck the frill should be profuse and rather curly. Feather on hindquarters and tail, long and profuse, less so on chest and back of forelegs. (AKC breed standard)
Color: any color, or combination of colors, is acceptable. (AKC breed standard)

Size: mature males should be at least 28 inches at the withers and mature bitches at least 26 inches at the withers. Dogs and bitches below these respective limits should be severely penalized; dogs and bitches above the respective limits should not be penalized as long as extra size is not acquired at the expense of symmetry, speed and staying quality. Range in weight for males from 75 to 105 pounds and for bitches from 15 to 20 pounds less. (AKC breed standard)
Gait: front legs must reach well out in front with pasterns strong and springy. Hackneyed motion with mincing gait is not desired nor is weaving and crossing. While the hind legs are wider apart than the front, the feet tend to move closer to the center line when the dog moves at a fast trot. When viewed from the side there should be a noticeable drive with a ground-covering stride from well-angulated stifles and hocks. The overall appearance in motion should be that of effortless power, endurance, speed, agility, smoothness and grace. (AKC breed standard)
Why the standard is written this way: everything in it serves the chase. The long, narrow head and deep jaws catch and hold quarry; the arched loin and tucked-up loins are the gallop's engine; the deep chest gives heart and lung room; the blade-flat forelegs and hare feet are built for speed over open ground; the long, silky coat protects without woolly bulk. The size minimums keep the dog a genuine courser, not a toy version of one — and “any color” is honest, because the coursing field never cared what color the dog was.

4. Temperament & living with one

The Borzoi is the dog world's quiet aristocrat. The AKC calls the temperament calm and agreeable, and that is the breed in a sentence: a dignified, undemonstrative dog that bonds to its people without fawning over them, and that is content to lie at your feet for hours — provided it has had its run. Borzoi are sensitive dogs. They notice tone of voice, they dislike raised voices and rough handling, and they take training at their own pace, on their own terms.

The run is not optional. A Borzoi can fly by at 35 to 40 miles per hour, and it needs a daily chance to run full out in a safely fenced area. Never exercise a Borzoi off-leash in open country: a sighthound that sees a deer, a rabbit, or a squirrel is gone, and recall is not reliable against prey. Fences must be tall and secure, and gates must latch — a Borzoi is an athlete that can clear a surprising height and slip a surprising gap.

With people, Borzoi are gentle and polite rather than effusive. They are usually patient with children but do best with respectful, older children, and they are aloof with strangers rather than suspicious — a Borzoi is no guard dog. Early socialization matters: a Borzoi that meets the world as a puppy grows into a confident adult; one that doesn't can grow shy and spooky.

With other animals, the prey drive is the whole story. Cats and small animals need careful introductions and supervision, and some Borzoi can never be trusted loose with them. Borzoi are generally good with other large dogs. Training works best with gentle consistency — short, upbeat, reward-based sessions. Heavy-handed methods shut a Borzoi down, and a shut-down Borzoi simply stops offering anything at all.

5. Grooming

The coat is the work. The Borzoi's long, silky coat is not woolly, but it mats where it rubs — behind the ears, under the legs, and in the feathering on the hindquarters and tail. Brush two to three times a week with a pin brush and a comb, more often in shedding season, and bathe only when the dog is actually dirty: over-bathing strips the silky texture the standard calls for.

What needs attention instead:

Ears: small and fine, but check them weekly — the long coat traps moisture around them, and the ears lie back on the neck where problems hide.
Feet: hare-shaped feet with feathering between the toes. Keep the hair between the pads trimmed so the dog doesn't slip, and keep the nails short — a running dog with long nails is a dog that strains.
Teeth: brush regularly; the standard penalizes missing teeth, and a Borzoi's long jaw is worth protecting.
Shedding: moderate, year-round, with seasonal peaks. The silky coat drops hair rather than blowing an undercoat, but a Borzoi still leaves hair on furniture and clothing.
Cold and heat: the coat is not woolly and offers less insulation than it looks. A coat for cold walks and a warm bed are not luxuries for this breed — and in heat, shade and water, never a hot car.

6. Health testing

The Borzoi Club of America's CHIC program turns health testing into a checklist with numbers you can verify — four tests are required for a CHIC number.

Required for a CHIC number:

Eyes — CAER/ACVO eye examination by a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist.
Thyroid — thyroid evaluation through an OFA-approved laboratory.
Cardiac — advanced cardiac evaluation (echocardiogram) by a board-certified cardiologist.
Degenerative myelopathy — DNA test for the SOD1 mutation.

Recommended in addition:

Hips — OFA or PennHIP evaluation.
Elbows — OFA evaluation.
Holter monitoring — 24-hour Holter monitoring for cardiac rhythm.

Some conditions of concern have no screening test: bloat and gastric dilatation-volvulus, osteosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, chylothorax, and lung lobe torsion. Ask the breeder what has appeared in their lines and what they screen for. And one practical note for any veterinarian treating your dog: Borzoi, like other sighthounds, are sensitive to anesthesia — make sure the clinic knows the breed. When you talk to a breeder, ask for the OFA or CHIC numbers — and look them up on the OFA database before you put down a deposit.

8. Regional specialties through the year: smaller regional shows

The national is the anchor, but the breed’s year also runs through regional specialties — smaller regional shows, not the national — held by the Borzoi Club of America’s member clubs around the country, usually as designated specialties with all-breed shows or as hosted specialties during national week. These are the 2026 regionals verified from club and AKC sources so far:

9. Clubs

The parent club is the Borzoi Club of America, Inc. (BCOA), founded November 12, 1903 as the Russian Wolfhound Club of America and elected to membership in the American Kennel Club on May 19, 1904 — one of the oldest parent clubs in the AKC, a member for over 100 years. The club runs the national specialty, publishes The Aristocrat, and supports the breed's rescue work. Club officers per the most recent premium verified (2023): President Ron Williams, Vice President Shirley McFadden. Current officers are listed on the club's site. (Borzoi Club of America)

Regional clubs include the Borzoi Association of New England, Borzoi Club of California, Borzoi Club of Central New Jersey, Borzoi Club of Delaware Valley, Borzoi Club of Greater New York, Borzoi Club of Greater Omaha, Borzoi Club of Northern California, Midwest Borzoi Club, Lone Star Borzoi Club, Potomac Valley Borzoi Club, Puget Sound Borzoi Club, Turquoise Trail Borzoi Club, and Rocky Mountain Borzoi Club.

The club is also active in the field: lure coursing and racing are part of national week, with lure-coursing tests held alongside the conformation show, and the club sanctions trophy-supported entries for Borzoi in areas with no regional club of their own.

10. Rescue

The National Borzoi Rescue Foundation (NBRF) — a 501(c)(3), all-volunteer, BCOA-backed rescue based in Dix, Illinois — has placed Borzoi since the mid-1990s, with an international arm since 2014. Contact: rescueborzoi.org, 844-627-3964. Dogs coming into rescue are spayed or neutered, temperament-assessed, and placed from foster homes by volunteers who know the breed.

The Borzoi Club of America itself runs a Rescue Committee, which plays a supportive role only — the foundation does the placing. Start with the NBRF, which can direct you to the rescue coordinator for your region.

Rescue Borzoi are usually adults or adolescents whose temperament is already known — a real advantage for a first-time Borzoi owner, provided the home has a safely fenced yard for running and can meet the breed's exercise and grooming needs.

11. Breeder vs rescue

From a breeder: expect a breeder who shows or courses their dogs, health-tests every breeding dog, and takes a dog back for life. Ask for CHIC numbers — eyes, thyroid, cardiac echocardiogram, and degenerative myelopathy DNA are required — plus the recommended hip and elbow evaluations and Holter monitoring, and verify them on the OFA database. Ask how the puppies are raised in the home, what the parents course or compete in, and what the breeder expects of you. A breeder who won't answer, or who has puppies always available, is a warning sign.

From rescue: expect an application, a phone interview, and often a home visit. Rescue dogs are adults or adolescents, spayed or neutered, temperament-tested, and placed by people who know the breed's needs — which means the rescue will ask hard questions about fencing, exercise, and work hours. That scrutiny is a feature: a Borzoi in a home with no safe place to run is a miserable dog.

Either way: the right question is not “breeder or rescue?” but “does this dog, and this source, fit a life with a quiet, fast, independent sighthound that needs a fenced run every day and gentle handling?” A Borzoi that runs and lives with its people is one of the great companions in the dog world. A Borzoi left alone in a yard is a tragedy in slow motion.
