Borzoi [species] (English spelling)

Japanese: ボルゾイ[種](英語表記)borzoi
Borzoi [species] (English spelling)
A hunting dog originating from Russia. It was developed in the early 17th century for the nobility of Imperial Russia by crossbreeding a Siberian sheepdog with an Arabian greyhound. The strength and speed of the greyhound was combined with the sheepdog's thick coat to withstand the harsh cold, and rigorous selective breeding resulted in the elegant Borzoi of today. It was used by Russian nobles for the luxurious wolf hunting of wolves, with two dogs working together to pin down their prey. It was introduced to America at the beginning of the 20th century, and many excellent dogs were produced, after which it spread to other countries.

原産地がロシアの獣猟犬。シベリアの地犬である牧羊犬とアラビアン・グレーハウンドの交雑により,17世紀の初期に帝政ロシアの貴族の間で作出された犬種である。グレーハウンドの力強さとスピードに,牧羊犬の厳寒に耐える厚い被毛が与えられ,厳格な選抜交配の結果,今日の優美なボルゾイが生まれた。ロシア貴族たちのぜいたくなオオカミ猟に使われ,2頭がひと組となって,獲物を挟みうちにして倒したといわれる。20世紀の初めアメリカへ移入され,多くの優秀犬が作出されて以来,各国へ広まった。
