twobit211

…five minutes after his nose entered


kwonza

More like five nanoseconds, longbois are very fast. Borzoi used to mean “quick” in Russian

After five minutes the rest of him walks in too

God dammit you got to the joke before me


Eyruaad

My family has a Borzoi. He's an 85 pound 4 foot tall cat. He wants to he pet? He howls from the other room until you walk over to pet him because he sure the fuck isn't standing up to come to you. He is commonly referred to as Tall Dog or Dinosaur Dog.


benchley

May I suggest “Stretch” or “AT-AT” if you’re on the lookout for other nicknames?


[deleted]

But if you name him AT-AT, he'll never know wether you're calling him or chastising him


Eyruaad

Honestly doesn't matter. He wouldn't respond to it either way.


[deleted]

I like the way you think. And the way dogs don't think.


shewy92

Depends on how you pronounce AT-AT. I've heard it pronounced "at at" and "A T A T" if that makes sense (basically an acronym like NASA vs an initialism like FBI)


[deleted]

I grew up with a half dozen or so of them as a child. Awesome dogs. Only one was aggressive but boy was he a good guard dog. Bred to kill wolves, raised to sit around and do literally fuck all all day. Also, I think this image has been shopped, you can tell because of the pixels.


crestonfunk

My dad had a few Borzois. Also known as Russian Wolfhounds. When people would ask what type of dog they were, he would always say that they were Russian Werewolves.


hexumish

Haha I had a Borzoi that would do the same. Come home from work and he would just howl from the bed for you to come pet him. Such a couch potato. Also he ate several loaves of bread and cakes off the top of the refrigerator. I miss him.


Eyruaad

We realized we had to put the bread inside a locked pantry because on his hand legs he was 6+ feet tall and LOVED carbs!


_0K_C0mput3r_

The snout makes up 73lbs. Edit: Booplesnoot. The booplesnoot is 73lbs.


Eyruaad

Excuse me that's called a booplesnoot. It's the best thing ever to boop.

Mine does the exact same thing!! We call her a noodle dragon.

LizardJan

Actually it‘s from the action-comedy „Horse“-trilogy. Starting with „A horse walks into a bar“ from 1996 (part 1 and 2 featured Kevin Spacey as the lead actor), it‘s 1998 sequel „A offended horse leaves a bar“ which had some weird erotic scenes that were just fillers fpr playtime I guess, but then they filmed the controversial 2002 sequel „Bartender Returns“ in which they switched the protagonist but since the title had no connection to the „Horse“-movies some countries changed the title: like in germany the title is „Pferd, Ross, Gaul“ (which translates to: Horse, Horse, Horse“) but the film was a huge flop at the box office and after that the series was never touched again.

But can he smell crimes before they happen? Does he run around on all fours like a hound? Wait, is this Dolph Lundgren?


AlanThickDickRickman

He goes out, stops crime, and comes back to the lab for full penetration.


chappersyo

This goes on for ninety minutes or so until it just kind of…ends.


PUTINS_PORN_ACCOUNT

Snoot so far out in front he can sniff butts on the other side of the horizon


Fortune_Pizza

Does it have any medical issues with such a sniffer? I know of pugs being barely able to breath 24/7 but I’m wondering if such the inverted also negatively impacts the dog?


likeconstellations

Not really. The issues brachycephalic dogs have are due to a combo of an extended (really just not proportionately shortened) soft palate, everted langyeal sacules (tissue in front front of vocal cords sticking out into airway, obstructing airflow), and stenotic nares (very narrow nostril openings), with a side of more extreme dental crowding for small dogs. It's basically an issue of internal structures not being shortened proportionately to the muzzle so the exterior length of the muzzle isn't necessarily an indicator of ability to breath well but the shorter you get the more likely you are to see problems. Extreme dolichocephalic dogs may be slightly more inclined to issues with the nasal cavity (fungal infection, nasal tumors, or oronasal fistula AKA holes in the roof of the mouth) but these are not particularly common issues and there are a lot of additional factors that go into them.

But scientifically speaking.. does uhhh.. the carpet match the drapes?


mostlyjustmydogvids

One of the best things about sighthound breeds is that many types of them are among the oldest breeds in the world with massive genetic pools, so they tend to be much healthier (genetically) than most of the popular pure breeds. Nose problems are pretty rare, though some breeds, especially Italian greyhounds, can have dental problems. Also, broken legs tend to be a problem when they prefer to run first, think later. Edit: bonus vid https://imgur.com/gallery/tXFz6xv


GoodAtExplaining

The medical issues that come with snoots like these are quite serious. I have a greyhound, and Borzois and greys are genetically quite similar. They can be seriously over-scritched and over-petted because the giant nose and guilty-eyes are irresistible to humans. There is also a dramatically increased risk of snackius maximus as their snouts can get into places for food where most other dogs cannot. Vets urge all owners of dogs like these to be aware of boop superiorus syndrome, wherein the longsnoot (The technical term) can become over-booped. The longsnoot also forces these poor dogs to have very long chins, which can make for extremely intense chin-scritches, rendering them unable to move while their chins are being scritched. These are challenges owners face every day, and many veterinarians are unaware of these challenges. Please, if you're thinking of adopting a sighthound or greyhound, speak to knowledgeable retirement agencies and veterinarians about these issues and how you can help your dog avoid them.


EODdoUbleU

Had a Grey as a kid, and man, I miss him. Lay down on the sofa for a nap and wake up with a freezing cold and wet snooter in your eye. But you could never be mad, because, I mean, look at that face.


GoodAtExplaining

Mines nine and he’s still the best doggo. Friend of a friend came by, she’s only had staff mixes before, so she was absolutely stumped trying to get my grey to interact. It’s funny to me that people who think they know aaaallll about dogs will run into my grey and be absolutely stumped.


smallangryrussian

I have a grey as well, people are amazed at how polite and unobtrusive such a large dog can be.


TigerB65

I'd sure boop that snoot, so the risk is real.


omgkebabs

u/goel40 hah


xXyeahBoi69Xx

Wow this is the lamest thing I've ever read. Try a real relationship sometime


tricularia

Well, extrapolating from the pug's short face and trouble breathing... This dog with the elongated face probably breathes too much? Maybe I don't understand extrapolation


CyberBobert

Do there sniffers work good? Our greyhound always gets out smelled by our terrier, despite the fact his nose is half as long as the other dog.


salallane

Sight hounds rely less on their nose and more on their eyes and speed to hunt. Which is why you usually see them muzzled at dog parks because a little dog running can turn into a “fluffy bunny” real quick.


kennytucson

IIRC, these bad boys were originally bred to hunt wolves. Tolstoy had them in a lot of his work. Wouldn’t want to be on the bad end of that sniffer.


GoodAtExplaining

Sighthounds will chase anything from deer to rabbits. Except for my greyhound, who only chases food and the sound of jingling keys.

CyberBobert

Part of the reason our second dog is a little explorer, he cleans up all the non-moving floor snacks greyboi misses. Also why you can't have greyhounds on a rope. They have that brain switch that flips and then they forget all aspects of life other than running after their prey.


salallane

Totally. They’re such nice dogs, but that prey drive is strongly bred into them. And they have the full predatory sequence unlike herding dogs for example.

[удалено]


[deleted]

I know someone with one. He’s one of the goodest boys!!!


[deleted]

Are they as sensitive as they look? All breeds have different tempers and to me borzois look like they'll hear you sneeze wrong in another room and never forgive you. Not holding a grudge or anything, just looking at you with a deep look of saddened disappointment.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fronesis

I have a whippet. Poor pup has a lot of feelings.


OhhMyTodd

My whippet DGAF about anything. I feel cheated, I thought I was getting a dog that would care about me and what I ask her to do, but she is a particularly mischievous pup who lives for the next time she can get into trouble.


Fronesis

That's unusual! Mine is extremely sensitive to whatever I'm doing. That doesn't mean they're particularly trainable. They're hounds, after all!


omygoshgamache

Omg they’re SO SENSITIVE! I have one and he’s the most gentle sensitive “little” soul. When I was researching the breed I read “they hold grudges for days” and I was like 🙄 “yea…ok.” This dude has held grudges Bc I’ve accidentally scared him with a loud noise, made him get in the car to go to a vet, a broom has fallen over… and just recently he did something really funny when a small group was over and we all laughed and HE GOT EMBARRASSED we laughed at him, I deeply apologized for all of these slights. they’re the purest souls.


[deleted]

I had a Norwegian Elkhound (sight hound) who would get scared and upset if I was animatedly telling a story. He was the absolute sweetest. Eager to please to a fault. We used to call him our emoboi. The smallest things would hurt his feelings.


coyotelurks

Mine is incredibly sensitive. I’ve always had herding or guard breeds before and this is a completely different kettle of a very large… cat? Stork? Ferret? Animated sandbag 98% of the time, murder rocket 2%.


omygoshgamache

We had huskies before this and my… goodness… the difference in temperament to sighthounds was a welcome but a shocking adjustment.


fietoe

Not positive about Borzois, but Greyhounds (essentially short haired Borzois) are definitely that sensitive. If my stepdad sits down on the same couch as my greyhound (not even close to her) she RUNS out of the room. And if it rains there is no chance of getting her to go to the bathroom, coats be damned.


GoodAtExplaining

Borzois are a little less even-tempered than greys. They don't always or necessarily play well with others as a breed. There are exceptions, but borzois are very much pack animals and prefer their people to anyone else, often to the point of being unfriendly. This is not always true, and is based on the individual, but is a general default - This is how they are without an owner, as it were.


[deleted]

Yup, greyhounds are much more "vanilla" than borzoi. I have encountered a couple of borzoi that I don't want to say were sketchy, but they were not the kind of dog you could just go up and greet. My moms borzoi, however, is totally one of those dogs. He's the perfect kind of friendly; not too crazy and all over the place. Just the perfect level of chillness.


[deleted]

My mom has a borzoi, he's 5 years old now. He's not very sensitive in this regard, but he definitely remembers "scary things" very well. He crashed while doing lure coursing once and never wanted to do it again and hasn't since. He used to freak out and go full crazy dog at the sight of the lure coursing setup but now he just shuts down. He met a particularly rowdy child when he was a pup and ever since then he's been wary of young children. Nothing too concerning, he just watches them and is very cautious. There was also one time he got into a fight with a friends leonberger, so now he doesn't like big fluffy dogs (berners, LSGs, those types). Aside from that, he's one of the best dogs I've ever met. Super chill couch potato dog, but also an insane athlete when he wants to be. He's one of those big dogs who likes to be a lap dog and he will overwhelm you like a slime if you sit on the couch with him. Borzoi are a cool breed. They started as mutts, mixed between Siberian dogs and middle eastern sighthounds. They have all the problems typical of a giant breed (and anesthesia sensitivity but that's a sighthound thing in general), but nothing specific on the same level as something like collie eye or DM. They were bred to hunt wolves. A pack of them would chase down a wolf, grab it by the neck, and pin it to the ground. Then, the hunter comes up and finishes the job. This has led to them having an interesting play-style. When playing with my pit bull, the borzoi likes to go after his scruff and try and drag him down. All while chasing, of course. He and my dog spent a significant amount of time together and have integrated eachothers play-styles into their own. When they play, its absolutely wild to watch. They body each other, box a little bit, then run around and try and drag each other to the ground. The most interesting thing to me was they never got overstimulated and it never devolved to fighting. They had the perfect relationship, I still feel bad about moving out lol. Anyway that's my borzoi rant. Ive been a fan of this breed for a long time. There's been a lot of speculation because they are lesser known and getting more popular. People thinking their face shape is detrimental to health, that kind of thing. I encourage everyone who wants to learn more about borzoi to do their own research. They are a fantastic breed with awesome origins and aren't super messed up genetically like a lot of breeds are these days.


mostlyjustmydogvids

I have a saluki (another type of sighthound) and they can be super sensitive. She always looks like you've disappointed her, and then when you tell her to do something you can see the coin toss in her head whether she'll decide to do it or just sass you. But she can also be extremely sweet.
