THE BORZOI HOUND
|
 |
APPEARANCE
The Borzoi was originally bred for the coursing of
wild game on more or less open terrain, relying on sight rather than
scent. To accomplish this purpose, the Borzoi needed particular
structural qualities to chase, catch and hold his quarry. Special
emphasis is placed on sound running gear, strong neck and jaws, courage
and agility, combined with proper condition. The Borzoi should always
possess unmistakable elegance, with flowing lines, graceful in motion or
repose. Males, masculine without coarseness; bitches, feminine and
refined.
The general appearance of the Borzoi above all is
characterized by it’s height, it’s rich coat, the beauty of the colours,
the balanced proportions, the elegance and the harmony of it’s contours
and movements, which impart to the exterior a distinct nobility. Overall
well balanced, graceful, aristocratic, dignified and elegant.
