History: This breed comes from Russia. For
hundreds of years, belong to the Russian
nobility. They were developed from the Russian
wolfhounds and Arabian greyhound. This breed was
called the Russian wolfhound, in America until
1936. When the name was changed, to what it is
called today. This dog is a hunting dog. For
hundreds of years this dog has been used for
hunting, hare, Fox, and even wolves on the plains
of Russia. It is now more a companion dog, and to
match that, his temperament is more docile than
its ancestors.

Temperament: This breed is intelligent and very
kind. This dog showing extreme loyalty, to their
family. Showing great affection to people they
know well. They are freethinking, less willing to
satisfy their human owners than some breeds, in
regard to obedience. Gentle and firm training
works best with this breed, with clear rules of
the home. This breed likes to keep themselves
clean, and can appear catlike in grooming
themselves. This dog rarely barks. Due to the
extreme speed, and lack of any territorial
instincts, it is a dog that is not safe off the
lead. As with many breeds from the hunting dogs,
this dog is not recommended to be left with any
non-canine pets. Socialising this dog is a must
with any cats or other pets, you have in the home
from a young age is best. They are by nature
sensitive, so will not like rough handling.

Health issues: This breed is prone to bloat, so
should have several meals throughout the day,
fairly small in size. This breed needs high
nutritional diets, particularly when they are
growing.

Grooming: Although this breed has a long silky
coat, it is easily groomed. This dog will require
brushing regularly, and the occasional use of the
dry shampoo. This is a seasonally heavy shedder.

Living conditions: With the right amount of
exercise. This dog can live in an apartment. When
outside, they need plenty of space to walk and
run so a medium-sized garden is required. This
dog is better living in the countryside, due to
the fact it loves to run and is just not safety
conscious.
