Heritage & Purpose
Borzoi
Origin:
Russian aristocrats bred these hounds during the 16th century for hunting wolves and other game across vast open terrain. Their speed and sight-hunting abilities were prized among nobility.
Bulldog
Origin:
Developed in England during the 1500s for bull-baiting sports. After blood sports were banned, selective breeding transformed them into gentle companion dogs.
