These s can be gentle but do not appreciate being teased or startled, and this could result in a more aggressive reaction.

To accomplish this purpose, the Borzoi needed particular qualities of agility and structural elegance, with flowing lines, grace and speed to chase and lure their quarry. These characteristics make them ideal companions in racing games and outdoor activities. Today its skill is showcased in agility events and sports like lure coursing.
