What can you do with a Borzoi?

• Chasing game by sight – They were bred to hunt wolves, foxes, and hares in Russia.
   
• Lure coursing – Their instinct to chase moving prey translates perfectly to this sport.
   
• Fast CAT racing – Borzoi are competitive in 100-yard dash events due to their explosive acceleration.
   

• Quiet, low-drama households – They’re peaceful, undemanding housemates.
   
• People who appreciate elegance and independence – They’re more like a feline in loyalty: reserved but deeply bonded to their person.
   
• Therapy dogs (with training) – If socialized well, their calm presence can be comforting in assisted living or hospital settings.
   

• Apartment living (surprisingly, yes) – If exercised daily, Borzoi are couch potatoes indoors and can live happily in apartments or small homes.
   
• Single people or couples – Great for calm adults who enjoy a quiet companion.
   
• Dog-savvy households – Especially with people who understand independent or aloof breeds.
   

• Show dogs – Their regal bearing and coat make them popular in conformation events.
   
• Modeling/Film – Their distinctive silhouette and exotic appeal have earned them roles in fashion shoots and movies.
   
• Breed ambassadors – At public events or meet-the-breeds expos, Borzoi draw attention and curiosity.
   

• Clicker and trick training (short sessions) – While not eager-to-please like a Golden Retriever, Borzoi are intelligent and can learn tricks and tasks with the right motivators.
   
• Scent/nose games – They enjoy mental work, even if they're not as driven as scent hounds.
   

• Breed enthusiasts and historians – Those who love Russian history or aristocratic breeds often cherish the Borzoi’s noble lineage.
   
• Collectors of rare, niche breeds – Borzoi are still relatively uncommon and attract attention for that reason.
