Brief information
Character
For many centuries, the Russian Dog Borza has been associated with the history and culture of Russia. These noble aristocratic dogs were satellites of many famous personalities, including Peter I, Alexander Pushkin, Ivan Turgenev.
Russian greyhounds were bred for hunting, and their whole creature is aimed at pursuit. This greatly affects many aspects of life. Hunting instincts may work regardless of whether you hunted with your dog or not. Russian greyhounds get along well with other breeds, but still the nature of the hunter can lead to the fact that dogs of small breeds will be perceived only as prey. Therefore, you should not introduce an adult greeting with a small dog if you are not sure of the harmless reaction of your pet.
Russian greyhounds are stubborn and selfless. It is very important from childhood to accustom the dog to the team “near” in order to control it if she wants to chase for any animal or other object.
These dogs are distinguished by a majestic appearance and proud nature. They will never shout and achieve the location of a person in every way. The greyhounds are responsive to the feelings of the owner, and they will answer love with mutual love and devotion.
Dogs of this breed are faithful to their family, but they also very rarely show aggression to strangers, so they should not be used as a guard. However, in case of danger, they will be able to fend for themselves and loved ones. Russian greyhound is a very impressionable and vulnerable dog. For this reason, it should not be started by families with young children she can count the actions of the baby with a threat. But with children over six years she will be quite comfortable.
Care
While the Russian greyhound is growing, the intensity of its physical exertion must be carefully monitored. Excessive activity can entail problems with bones, and these problems will remain with the pet forever. Also, the greyhounds are more likely than in many other breeds. In order to avoid this, you need to ensure that the dog does not run immediately after eating.
In no case should I be lowered from a leash, since even the most pronounced dog of this breed can simply ignore the words of its master. It will be very difficult to catch up with Russian greyhounds it can develop speed up to 90 km/h.
These dogs are cleaned: hunters tried to derive a breed whose wool would not have a specific dog smell. For this reason, the greyhounds do not need frequent washing. However, they are prone to abundant molting, which should take into account people with allergies. Also, in order to avoid the stiffons, the dog must be combed 3-4 times a week.
Conditions of detention
Greyhounds quiet and calm dogs. They can live in an apartment, but only on condition of daily long and active walks during which they should be tired. Otherwise, they will have to splash out their energy at home, which is fraught with unpleasant consequences for furniture and interior in general.
You can maintain Russian dog greyhound only with dogs to match the greyhound, but not with small rocks, cats or rodents.
