Individuals that exceed the maximum size are accepted provided they have the typical Borzoi morphology.
Borzois have been an integral part of Russian history and culture for nine centuries. The 11th century French Chronicle reports that the Grand Prince of Kiev’s daughter Anna Yaroslavna arrived in France with three Borzois ahead of her marriage to Henri I. Other owners and breeders of note include tsars and poets like Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, Nicolas II, Pushkin and Turgenev. The Grand Duke Nicolas Nicolaevitch and Dimitri Valtsev established the landmark Pershinskaya Okhota kennel. Since the end of the 19th century, Borzois have been bred in all major kennels in the United States and Europe.

Borzois are large aristocratic dogs of lean yet robust constitution. Their bodies are slightly elongated, and females tend to be a little longer than males, with a strong bone structure but not massive. The bones are fairly flat under lean, well developed muscles, especially on the thighs, although it does not show in relief. Balance and harmony of movement are essential.Borzois are quiet and well balanced in daily life, but become suddenly excited when they see the game, reacting impetuously. They have a piercing gaze that can see over long distances.
