Their dark eyes have a slant to them. Their small ears lay back on the head. The back line is arched slightly upward and the chest is narrow, but deep. The front legs are straight. The tail is set low with a curve. The coat is long, silky, flat, or wavy. The hair on the neck, hindquarters and tail is is longer than the hair on the rest of the body. Comes in any color or combination of colors. Common colors include black, white, tan, tan or gray with black markings, golden in either solid or mixed colors.
Borzoi are sweet, intelligent dogs. They are proud and extremely loyal to their family. They are quite affectionate with people they know well. They are very intelligent, and capable learners. Borzoi often appear to be cat-like in that they keep themselves quite clean. They are quiet dogs, rarely barking. Like all other sight hounds, they are very fast, and are good with other dogs but should be supervised with small non-canine pets such as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. Borzoi should be socialized very well with cats and other pets at as young an age as possible.
