Although no longer called upon to `pin a wolf' or run down large game, the Borzoi remains a courageous, powerful coursing hound capable of great endurance and speed. As a family dog, the Borzoi's principal role in today's world, the breed is a sensitive, sweet comrade that thrives on being the centre of its owners' attention, yet remains reserved with strangers.
