Hendagger 1 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Oh well from the sounds of it they probably aren’t as good for rabbits as I may have thought but might manage the odd on or two. I will probably look at other breeds as well, but still like the borzoi. 1 Quote Link to post

I thought about getting on 20 odd years ago but was put off when a well known lurcher man & slipper told me that he slipped one at a coursing meeting with a lurcher & it ignored the hare & killed the lurcher it was running against. Also think any Borzois around now will only be pet/show stuff. Maybe wrong. Good luck with what ever you decide. Smart looking dogs. Atb 1 Quote Link to post
Hendagger 1 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Thanks for that mate. Pretty brutal story but I think like you say most will be show dog types now. Quote Link to post
