Calm indoors does not remove sighthound needs
Borzoi fit should balance quiet indoor style with powerful chase instincts. Activity, prey-drive, size, coat, and handling signals point toward daily walks, secure fenced sprint opportunities, leash discipline, soft bedding, and patient training. A good match appreciates an independent hound and can protect wildlife, cats, and open spaces from unrealistic recall expectations. The mismatch appears when a household chooses the breed for calmness while overlooking large-dog logistics, grooming, secure exercise, and sudden acceleration outdoors during walks before committing in practice.
