Pam: "I am learning a lot about this breed through you. I will be paying extra special attention to the Borzoi at Westminster this year." (edits mine)

ME TOO on both points! Borzoimom, do Borzoi dogs ever require trimming of their coats? How do you take care of the coat after they play outdoors? I'm thinking about the story of Femka and the bear and I'm afraid to think about what Femka looked like afterward Does their coat get tangled when they run, do they pick up brambles in their coat? Do they like to be combed or brushed?

When I looked at the Borzoi picture for the week, it was a black and white dog wearing a Santa hat. Sweet! I agree with danegirl2208, they are very elegant. I can see why the Russian Czars wanted such gracious dogs in their palaces. Hurry up, Westminster! I want to see another Borzoi!
