Summary
About Great Dane (Grand danois)
The Great Dane (Grand danois) is a giant, elegant dog, among the tallest breeds. Once a boar‑hunting and estate guard dog, it is now a loyal, people‑oriented companion. Calm indoors with moderate exercise needs, it requires space, careful training, health care and close daily companionship.
About Borzoi
The Borzoi is a tall, elegant Russian sighthound with a flowing, wavy coat and long, narrow head. Calm, sensitive, and catlike indoors, it is capable of sudden high-speed sprints outside and has a strong chase instinct, needing gentle training, socialisation, and secure exercise areas.
