The Russian Wolfhound, also known as the Borzoi, is a breed of sighthound that was developed in Russia in the 17th century. They were originally used for hunting wolves and other small game, and were favoured by the Russian nobility. Russian Wolfhounds are known for their long, slender bodies, narrow head, and long, silky coat. They are tall and athletic, with a graceful and elegant appearance. They are generally quiet and dignified, with a calm and gentle temperament.

Russian Wolfhounds are intelligent and independent, and require consistent training and socialization from an early age to prevent them from becoming timid or aloof. They are generally good with children, but may be reserved with strangers and may not do well with other dogs if not properly socialized. They are sensitive and can be prone to separation anxiety if left alone for long periods of time.

Russian Wolfhounds require regular exercise, and enjoy activities such as running, hiking, and playing fetch. They have a high prey drive and should always be kept on a leash or in a securely fenced area, as they have a tendency to chase after small animals. They have a long lifespan and can live up to 12 years or more with proper care.
