Summary
About Swedish Lapphund
The Swedish Lapphund is an ancient Nordic spitz‑type herding dog with a compact, sturdy build and thick black double coat. Lively, vocal and people‑oriented, it excels in herding and dog sports. Active, intelligent and sensitive, it needs regular exercise, training and close family contact.
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.
