Borzoi Breed Profile and Growth Guide

Breed Overview

The Borzoi, also known as the Russian Wolfhound, is an elegant and aristocratic sighthound that originated in Russia, where it was bred by nobility for hunting wolves and other game across vast open terrain. These dogs are known for their graceful, flowing appearance, long silky coats, and quiet, dignified demeanor.

Despite their large size, Borzois are gentle and affectionate with their families. They tend to be reserved around strangers but are rarely aggressive. Their calm nature and love for lounging indoors make them surprisingly suitable for households with enough space. However, their strong prey drive means they should be kept in securely fenced areas when outdoors.

Size category: Giant
Tracking growth is particularly important with giant breeds like the Borzoi, as they experience rapid early development that needs to be supported with proper nutrition and care. Overgrowth or malnutrition during key phases can lead to joint and bone problems later in life.

Borzoi Growth Chart & Weight Ranges

While individual dogs may vary, the following table provides general average weight ranges for Borzoi puppies as they grow:

Age	Male Weight Range (lbs)	Female Weight Range (lbs)
4 weeks	7 – 10	6 – 9
8 weeks	15 – 20	13 – 18
3 months	30 – 40	25 – 35
4 months	40 – 50	35 – 45
6 months	55 – 70	50 – 65
9 months	70 – 85	60 – 75
12 months	75 – 95	65 – 85
18 months	80 – 105	70 – 95
Adult (2 yrs)	85 – 110	75 – 95

Note: Males typically weigh 10–15 lbs more than females at full maturity.

How Much Bigger Will My Borzoi Puppy Get?

Borzoi puppies grow quickly during their first year but can take up to 24 months to fully mature. Most Borzois will reach 50% of their adult weight by around 4–5 months old, and about 75–80% by 9–12 months.

Rule of Thumb:
To estimate your Borzoi’s adult size, double their weight at 16 weeks—this provides a rough guideline, though final size may vary by genetics and diet.

Exception for Giant Breeds:
Because Borzois are a giant breed, they experience slower skeletal development and may continue growing in height, weight, and chest width until 18–24 months.

Borzoi Growth Tips

Nutrition

• Feed a large or giant breed puppy formula to ensure balanced calcium and phosphorus levels for proper bone development.
• Puppies typically require 3–4 meals per day until about 6 months old, then can transition to 2 meals.
• Avoid overfeeding, as rapid weight gain can stress joints.
• Choose high-quality kibble with whole proteins, or consult your vet about raw or fresh diets.

Exercise

• Borzoi puppies are fast and agile, but their joints are still developing. Avoid:
  • Excessive stair climbing
  • Hard surfaces (like concrete jogging)
  • Rough play with larger dogs
• Instead, offer free play in a secure, enclosed area, and start gentle leash walks around 4–5 months.

Health Watch

• Like other large breeds, Borzois are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia if they are overexercised or poorly nourished during their growth phase.
• Gastric torsion (bloat) is another concern—feed smaller meals and avoid vigorous activity around feeding times.
• Regular checkups and growth monitoring are crucial for detecting any skeletal or weight abnormalities early.
