Latest Borzoi Frequently Asked Questions:
I live in Florida and was wondering how much a Borzoi puppy costs. Also does anyone know of any reputable breeders in Florida
Answer:I would start with Borzoi rescue & see if they might have a rescue that would be a good fit for you and your family http://www.nbrf.info/ If they do not have a rescue that would meet your needs, they should be able to help you find a breeder in your area. Until there are none, adopt one. All the best, Afghan Hound Rescue of California
I saw a reference to a Coronado Borzoi. I know nothing about borzoi. So I asked. Sigh.....
Answer:There is only one Borzoi, perhaps someone has attached their name to the breed. If you know nothing about Borzoi's this is not a beginner dog. This is a high powered sight hound, meaning they will chase any moving object. Beautiful animal if trained correctly and handled well. Best wishes.
I'm getting an Afghan Hound puppy in 10 weeks and I'm already getting ready to look into getting another rare breed puppy to show. I am thinking about getting a Borzoi or Saluki and as different as they are, really like the Dalmatian, Clumber Spaniel and the Old English Sheepdog. Has anybody got any experience with those breeds? If not/if so, what is your personal favorite breed of dog? I would like a slightly rare and exotic breed but nothing that's going to take me more than 5 years to find a show quality pup. I don't want anything popular like a Labrador or German Shepherd and I want a large dog, not a small dog. I might look into medium sized dogs, if I like them. I am up for any challenge that owning this new dog will throw at me - I mean, I'm getting an Afghan! Cost, exercise, grooming, training, size does not worry me at all. And I would prefer a dog that isn't temperamental or naturally aggressive. I don't mind reserved dogs (eg. AFGHAN) but no naturally aggressive dogs. I don't have children of my own but my family is huge and we have many kids in the family. Yes, I've got the big home, tall, securely fenced yard, funds to raise large dogs etc.. Only thing I don't have is much first hand experience with dogs. I've only been around a female Labrador who was an outside dog when I was 10-12.
Answer:www.asfa.org -- this is a site to a sighthound field orginization. check the trials & club list. Most clubs have puppy practice after trials (contact trial sec if you want to be sure). Take the afghan pup to practice - he'll love it and while you are there you can see the Saluki's & Borzoi present and speak to their owners & breeders and get a very acurate idea as to the temperment of both breeds also can serve as the first contact toward a pup...
Answer:Not sure about Salukis but my mum breeds and shows borzois, you can always get in touch with her she won't mind giving you some advice. www.starboroughborzoi.co.uk
I've been using a frozen food as well as a high protein,high fat dry food and seems to be okay, but some of my dogs just will not put on any weight. They are on regular worming treatments too. I know they are a slender built breed, but I'd like to see just a little more weight/muscle.
