Growing up I was the 'kennel boy' for my mother who was a renowned breeder of Borzois (Russian Wolfhounds).
Borzoi were bred to be swift and tough, they typically were used in a brace of three and Nobles on horseback. The dogs job was to run down and ONLY pin a wolf, down, the hunters would dispatch the wolf themselves.
