This breed is thought to have originated in Russia in the sixteenth century as a result of a crossing between Persian and European hounds with thick-coated native Russian breeds. What is it?

More formally known as the Russian Hunting Sighthound, the Borzoi breed originally served as a wolf hunting dog because of both its speed and thick coat. In fact, the term "borzoi" quite literally translates to "fast" from Russian.
