Today we gonna talk about Russian Wolfhound

Known as the Borzoi, the Russian Wolfhound has been used for hunting wolves, foxes and rabbits since the early 17th century.

Shaped much like a greyhound, the Russian Wolfhound is characterized by their long muzzle and nose. They are known for their distinctive walk, with a proud strut making this an elegant dog, associated with aristocracy.

The Russian Wolfhound is an intelligent breed of hound which is proud and very loyal to their family. The Russian Wolfhound is an old hunting breed and will never grow out of its hunting tenancies. Good around other dog breeds, the hound will need to be socialized with other non-canine animals at a young age to avoid chasing them, however they will likely continue to chase after a fleeting animal into their adult life.

The Russian Wolfhound is good natured but hesitant with children as they don’t enjoy rough play time. They thrive in training but require a patient owner.

Training, long daily walks, hunting and running.

All hound breeds require large amounts of open space however these dogs can adapt to indoor living provided they are taken on long daily walks.
