Sometimes called Russian Wolfhounds, the Borzoi is a very proud breed and is well suited to rural living. The dog was originally adopted by the Russian Nobility, probably because of the dog's regal bearing. The name is derived from the Russian word for "swift" - an indication of this dog's speed and agility. One of the reasons this breed is so popular is their versatility. They're eager to run and play outdoors but happy to laze around inside. The next time you're out with your Borzoi for a walk, show your pride in the breed. Choose a Borzoi T Shirt or a Borzoi Long Sleeve T Shirt for those cooler days.
