Frequently Asked Questions
Are Borzois good apartment dogs?
Yes, surprisingly! As long as they get daily exercise, they are calm indoors.
Do Borzois get along with cats?
They might chase unfamiliar cats. If raised together, many do fine—early socialization is key.
How much grooming do they need?
Weekly brushing is enough for most, but daily during shedding season helps manage their fluff.
Are Borzois easy to train?
They’re smart but independent. Use positive reinforcement and be patient—they don’t like harsh commands.
