why is that so truuue

Imagine you’re a wolf just chilling and you look around and just see a borzoi staring at you

@@violetcrystal4787 terrifying even if i wasnt a wolf

Borzoi: *"I'm in your walls."*

​@@violetcrystal4787 Won't phase me, if i was a wolf, i am every thing he is but far worse, more bone, more muscles, more teeth, more claws, more fight more bite. Remember they needed a pack of borzoi to actually take down wolves, only thing borzoi hounds have over wolves is speed, by itself that doesn't help, but in a whole pack of dogs against wolf, it can mean a lot.

From what I've understood borzois didn't have to kill wolves, but rather chase them and block one, then the human would kill the wolf

That would still invariably be freaky tho

I think a strange chimpanzee would be a better comparison

@MercurySteel My old Rottweiler, when I was little was a ex cartel guard dog, my dad rescued him when we took a trip to Mexico City. Zonka (the rottie) did have ptsd, he would hide or jump at any bell sound for some reason.

Typical russian soldier lol

​@@mrbubz6942 my dog was a stray for the first year of her life. She has some pretty gnarly scars on her back legs that were there when we brought her home. We've had her since 2016 she's spoiled rotten but sometimes when she sleeps she'll tuck her legs up and do this god awful squealing whine. I'll pat her her to wake her up and no matter how gentle I am she'll startle awake and squall like I hit her. I always wonder what she went through out there by herself from puppy to probably around 8 months old.

Unless they’re protecting mantis manor.

You need a pack per wolf

They are not fragile at all. Theirs very strong fast as fuck and have one of the strongest bites of all dog breeds

funny too cause we make breed for a purpose dashound borrow hunters and badgers pits nanny dogs and later boar hunters just specify living tools like a mule donkey/horse mix smart as a horse strong as a donkey

OH NO I GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!!! *runs away and swims across the creek to get away from that freak*

Someone actually wrote a short horror story in the perspective of a wolf being hunted by a borzoi, but you don't realize it's a wolf until the very end. It was pretty good. Sadly, I can't link it to you. I do remember it was on tumblr though.

Maybe the mix good doggo you had got the kindness of a Labby instead of the man-made weaponized wolfhunter attitude of a borzoi

@@exudeku not sure but he definitely acted like a giant lab. Dog was super friendly (except in rare circumstances and only when my family was threatened) and loved cats, chickens, goats but not horses. Horses scared him. Also miniature schnauzer…

he must have been afraid to die

​@@moritamikamikara3879 So they're like a bigger Chihuahua but friendlier if it's yours

The WHAT.

Yeah, but they aren't hunting dogs. They are livestock guardian dogs.

@@DeclMilss More like a gigantic Pomeranian

Wow, it did

I DON’T WANNA BE A TROPHY!!!

Yeah, people back then weren't hunting the wolves for trophies. Wolves had a tendency to prey on live stock and children. You just use guardian style dogs to protect livestock. If you were actively hunting wolves, you had a pretty good reason.

As far as I know Borzois aren't supposed to actually kill the wolf, just chase it and keep it pinned until the hunter comes and slays or shoots the beast.

I'm interested. Can you tell me some of your favorite paintings that has them?

@@spxrta8699 Borzoi Heads by Maud Earl (c 1905) is my all time favorite but my second fav is definitely Four Borzoi with Kill by John Emms (c 1892) As an artist myself, I'm really big on simplicity with detail. Like simple paintings, not much going on, but the main view points are detailed af and just beautifully painted with amazing precision and subtle but eye catching colors👌🏻👌🏻

@@wxstednxghts I see, these are great works. Thank you for sharing them

Thanks buddy!

Same for me, they are my dream dog but I don't think I'll be able to find any anytime soon where I'm located.

They are amazing! I am the proud mama of two borzois, and they are the funniest and sweetest doggos I have ever meet! Its also really cool just how strong "pack instinct" they have and how it feels to be included in it. We sleep all three, plus our cat, in one bed, all tangled up and snuggly which is great during the cold winters. They wanna be close, always seeking contact, always social in their own odd way. Super cool dogs!

Nobody: Cats: “thank you thank you!…. For being so dumb…..” *starts obliterating the hand*

Borz translated from Ingush and Chechen - wolf

"Fast" in russian is pronounced Bee-stree

The dog breed is originally called borziye for anyone who's interested, borzoi is americanized version.

Происходит от праслав., от кот. в числе прочего произошли: др.-русск. бързыи, ст.-слав. бръзъ (др.-греч. ταχύς), русск. борзой, борзый, укр. бо́рзий, болг. бъ́рз, бръз, сербохорв. бр̑з, ж. бр́за, словенск. brz, чешск. brzy, др.-польск. barzo, польск. bardzo «очень», в.-луж. bórzy, н.-луж. bórze «скоро». Далее: белор. борздо «быстро» (XV-XVI в.), сербохорв. брздѝца «горный поток», брзи́ца. Родственно лит. burzdùs «подвижный, живой», burzdė́ti «двигаться, махать».

I knew they were tickling the same part of my brain that knows about the cheese wedge heads for a reason

Were they really???? My first sona was a Sergal, I read up on all the lore and info I could find but I don't remember ever seeing that! Huge if true 😭👌

@@magicdawn1973 I'm sure the authors of the species will disagree with my assessment. but just look at the aspects of the dog, they look in the face the same. they have the same proportions and even the hair on their body are very similar. They even have the same the same boom like tail. So at least as far as aesthetics are concerned they appear to be a four-legged version of the sergal. So this is pretty much my appraisal don't use this as anything that's canonical of course.

What... *NEW KNOWLEDGE UNLOCKED*

@@draco-amercon but sergals are literally mix of a wolf, a shark and a raptor, borzois never were there

Big Wolf will easily kill most dog breeds in 1v1

@@dominik8409 Of course it depends of the breed of the dog and the breed of the wolf. These bag dogs couldn't take on a gray wolf. But there are several breeds that could end up with one. And with a human, if it's 1v1, it wouldn't be that hard, with any weapon much easier. Of course you shouldn't attack a wolf Either for their safety, as a noble species in danger. And for yours, wolves do not usually attack humans, because they are afraid of us because of the constant killing of the past.The only wolves that attack humans are the ones with rabies. If one sees you, it will run away, but if you attack it, it will call its pack and... I don't have to comment further. In addition, they are very necessary for the environment, if they disappear the forest disappears with them.

​@@omarsuarezcorujo8482 Rabies: an affliction so terrifying, it motivated us to develop the first vaccine.

​@@dominik8409 yeah most dog breeds are medium to small. Most large dog breeds have equal or better change against wolf But I'll sya this again don't let your animals fight other animals, if my dog sees a wolf I'm not telling him to fight it I'm busting out a shotgun or a rifle.

May I ask where you got your info from? This is a highly debated question in the web and I'd for once like to hear some actual arguments. Some people say LGDs are dead meat when 1v1 in a fight with a wolf, others say that Ovarchkas should be stronger for that they are bigger in mass and were bred to protect livestock. Others then argue that wolves have better muscle density and skills in fighting and hunting and thus must have an advantage. It'd be interesting to see actual footage or learn from experience, too. And see a Borzoi in action, or a Wolfhound. I'd like to know more about how they hunted - or if the hunter took the shot. I cant imagine a Borzoi killing a wolf to be honest. I could only imagine it if the Borzoi were fast enough to get at the Wolfs neck before it attacks. Ive actually found footage here on YT were two LGDs took down a wolf. Im not sure about it yet though. And btw, all of this isnt supposed to sound mean- im just nerding out.

He got his snort splootered

that’d be so terrifying

It’s actually saying “Didn’t I do it for you”

…and mine is that the music in this short comes from the map screen of Donkey Kong Country.

They run the wolf down and hold it there for a bit. Then, the human runs up and kills the wolf with a knife or gun.

That would be funny but would never work genetically. For some reason our DNA just doesn't work like that. We all end up looking relatively normal no matter who the parents were(aside form the actual genetic mutations), and wove shredding outside if their usual pool, and then those new species breeding with other new species leads to the domesticated dog breeds. The problem stems form the fact that humans are all pure homo sapiens, and dogs are indeed from the canis family, but it's more broad than that

Sighthounds are actually pretty lazy and energy-saving. They can run very fast and very far, but need much less regular exercise then, for example, husky or even lab.

@@user-uk1mi7vu5k I’m repeating what I’ve heard from professional vet who’s also dog training expert and have 2 borzoi at home. They need to run a lot (they were made for running) and they need to exercise their brain too.

They’re nice dogs, but you’re right that any pet is a responsibility. A dog is a commitment that can span years, even decades

They’re White Russians

My understanding is that it's a Miss Piggy cover of a song by FKA Twigs. Idk how true that is or why it was made tho.

Also, in the modern days (in Russia) many people still use these dogs for hunting. But I've never heard of one taking down a wolf. They generally bring back rabbits and other small forest animals. And sometimes cats which is sad.

Nope

​@interstellar piece of meat they used 3-4 of them to chase down a wolf and pin it. A human would then shoot or stab the wolf.

the word dog is not feminine in russian. There are both feminine and masculine words for a dog.

alabai? those are basically domesticated bears lol

No, for cattle guarding against bears there are central-asian shepherd (alabai) and caucasian shepherd. And for hunting - west siberian laika (looks somewhat like a husky). Tibetian dog is not from Russia =)
