A distinctive Russian hound dog capable of endurance running in very cold climates, the Borzoi is a lesser-known breed akin to a Greyhound but larger and stronger. They have long, silky, and feathered coats that can be flat, wavy, or curly and that provide protection against cold weather and snow. They are elegant and graceful dogs and are often referred to as Russian Wolfhounds.
