Do Borzoi require a lot or regular grooming?
Regular grooming ensures a healthy coat and a happy Borzoi. For those who do not look forward to the job of grooming, take heart as the amount of grooming required is minimal as compared with other long-haired breeds! The Borzoi’s coat texture is silky (this is an important breed characteristic – See Breed Standard) and as a result, easy to maintain. Dirt and mud do not cling to the silky coat; if the Borzoi is wet and muddy, let him dry and then brush out the coat. You will be surprised to see how easily even the muddiest coat will “clean up”. An important aspect of regular grooming is the personal time this allows you with your Borzoi and the opportunity to check that all is well in terms of healthy skin, any possible existence of cuts, bruises, lumps and bumps and so on. Aside from not particularly enjoying having their tails brushed, Borzoi do love being groomed. Regular teeth cleaning (brushing) and nail clipping are also important.
