Wow, such beauties! Or in the case of Zubin, I should say "handsomeness!"

I like the photo of Zubin best; he is so relaxed, the tail is not tucked behind. And he is SMILING, ha ha. A natural pose.

Even though you mention that the coat is not much upkeep (no matting etc), I think as large dogs they need plenty of room and exercise? I love looking at them, but the size would not work for me in my city "postage stamp" lot.

Well HOttie spent 4 years of his life, and his predessor Buddy spent his last 2 years, in a apartment. However- I did have a bike trail, and I took them for a mile walk or two every day. They love to trot along like in a pack. They really are more couch pototoes, but love a good walk daily. These days, they run in the yard several times a day as I can not take them for a walk. Sighthounds are known as " the seniors" dog for this reason and their demeanor in general. ( have to be encouraged to jump up, seldom if ever bark, and calm nature around other people - like not pulling etc. .. ).
Zubin is always relaxed. I have noticed the girls keep their tails slightly tucked. This is also a natural position for the tail- either slightly tucked or straight down. Even in full excitement ( like hotties video of the attack on the tv set) shows only a very slow and low tail wag..

They are very beautiful, Borzoimom. I bet they would be terrific as therapeutic dogs for seniors. I was just thinking (and smiling) about Zubin having barked.

The whole family still talks about that. Especially with the perception in our minds, Zubin is still the baby in the house ( as well as his sister Galina) ..
BTW- cassiesmom- ever since I got home from my surgery, Zubin has NOT put his head in my lap once! No pressing, or leaning, no worries- NOTHING.. He is back to sending silly 'instant messages" to people by pressing his nose on the keys of the laptop, and not on me.. ( hmmm).. They are both excellent Therapy dogs, but he does have a gift we can not explain..

They're so cute, Michelle! Borzois certainly are beautiful dogs and you have some definite stunners there!
