Not Ideal for Apartments
The Borzoi is not a good choice for apartment living.
Reasons
- High Energy: They are sighthounds needing regular, vigorous exercise.
- Independent Nature: They can be stubborn and challenging to train in confined spaces.
- Prey Drive: Bred to chase prey, they may chase smaller animals in city environments.
- Shedding: They shed moderately and require regular brushing.
- Barking: They may bark if bored or neglected, which is problematic in apartments.
Alternatives
Consider breeds better suited to smaller spaces, such as Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, French Bulldogs, Poodles, or Shih Tzus.
