BRIEF
HISTORICAL
SUMMARY:
The
history
of
the
Borzoi
dated
from
the
XV
century,
to
the
Mongol
invasion.
The
Tatars
used
sighthound
of
Arab
origin
–
Koutsi,
while
the
Russian
hunters
did
not
have
sighthounds;
when
hunting
they
used
extraordinary
strong
Loshaya
dogs,
who
were
able
to
catch
and
kill
a
deer
or
even
an
elk.
Koutsi
and
Loshaya
crossbreed
dogs
became
the
prototype
of
the
Borzoi.
These
dogs
were
depicted
on
the
prayer
book
belonging
to
Grand
Prince
Vasily
III,
Ivan
the
Terrible
father.
In
XVI–XVII
centuries
new
bloods
of
Polsky
Chart
(Polish
Greyhound)
added
the
nobility
to
their
descendants.
Having
grown
the
fame
of
these
dogs
crossed
the borders
of
the
Russian
Empire.
Further
development
of
the
breed
was
influenced
by
crossbreed
with
the
Klock
–
a
huge,
strong
and
fierce
bearded
Courland
Sighthound.
Their
descendants
became
dogs
without
beards,
with
long,
fine
hair.
They
marked
the
beginning
of
“Gustopsovy”
Borzoi
type.
The
bloods
of
Greyhound
added
to
the
breed
at
the
same
time
initiated
the
appearance
of
“Chistopsovy”
Borzoi
type.
Bloods
of
Mountain
(Gorsky)
and
Crimean
Sighthounds
known
by
their
endurance
were
used
later.
The
Borzoi
became
the
result
of
this
multi-breed
crossing.
The
vigilance,
agility
and
expedition
of
the
Borzoi
in
pursuing
the
game,
its
ability
to
flash-like
rush,
to
tackle
the
game
deftly
at
once,
its
savageness
and
courage,
all
these
important
qualities
proved
out
to
be
very
useful
when
hunting
the
game
in
short
in
irregular
terrain.
The
Borzois
were
also
successfully
used
for
hunting
in
steppes,
where
it
was
required
to work
on
longer
distances.
Hunt
with
large
packs
of
sighthounds
and
hounds
and
with
special
horses
–
“hunters”
–
appeared
in
the
XVIII–XIX
centuries.
Such
hunts
consisted
of
up
to
several
hundred
dogs
and
differed
from
one
another
in
type
and
working
abilities.
The
Pershino
hunt
by
Grand
Duke
Nikolai
Nikolaevich
was
especially
renowned,
for
both
the
exquisite
beauty
of
the
dogs,
and
their
speed
and
passion
for
the
game.
The
first
Congress
of
Borzois
lovers
was
organized
in
1874,
but
only
in
1888
the
Moscow
Hunting
Society
adopted
the
first
standard
of
the
Borzoi,
where
a
type
of
the
Borzoi
was
unified
after
all.
N.P.
Yermolov
was
the
author
of
this
standard.
The
fundamental
principles
of this
standard
still
remain
the
same
despite
changes
made
in the
XX
and
XXI
centuries
– in
1925,
1939,
1951,
1963,
1969,
1980,
1993,
1995
and
2006
years.
