Summary
About Great Pyrenees
Large, calm livestock guardian from the Pyrenees, the Great Pyrenees is a powerful white, heavy‑shedding dog with a thick coat and double dewclaws. Gentle yet strongly protective, it needs secure fencing, steady socialization, mental stimulation, and experienced, patient handling.
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.
