Am tormenting myself looking at some rescue Borzois that have just come into Evesham Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue, and reading up on borzois, which are a breed I greatly admire and would love to own. Doesn't seem to be that much on the web about them, but I found this article of which one line struck me particularly :
Confining all of the exercise of a sighthound to leash work with a jogging human is like exercising an eagle on a string.
Well put, I thought.

I adore borzois - it's that long, aristocratic nose - but I doubt they'd go with 8 cats and a terrier...
There are a couple of Borzois that I meet semi-regularly at the place where I walk my greyhound & lurcher: amazing dogs they are.
As to the cats, we have 6, but as they are already living with a retired racing greyhound and a lurcher probably ex-working, I feel introductions are probably not impossible. If I were looking for another dog. Which I'm not. Oh no. Definitely not.
At least with a Springer, it doesn't matter if you're naturally scruffy, because you're always going to come back covered in mud anyway.
You have made me think that another reason that I really should not add a borzoi to the pack is the grooming. I bet mud would stick to all the feathers: there is something to be said for wipe-clean dogs!
