Are Borzoi high maintenance?

Yes, Borzoi can be considered high-maintenance in certain aspects due to their unique needs and characteristics, including a long, silky coat that requires regular grooming to prevent matting, tangles, and excessive shedding, their need for daily exercise and mental stimulation, and their stubborn nature, which can make them challenging to train for inexperienced pet parents. Due to their hunting background, Borzoi also have a strong prey drive and might be prone to chasing small animals, birds, or even cars. It’s essential to supervise them closely and provide a secure and enclosed environment to prevent them from running off or getting into trouble.
